The only condition is that the cars must have Summit Racing decals on both sides of the car. No previous purchase is needed.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to support racers that support us\u201d, said Jim Greenleaf, Motorsports and Event manager of Summit Racing Equipment. \u201cLast year we started a Sportsman contingency program in Australia and it was a great success. Now it\u2019s time to introduce it in Europe. I got in contact with Speedgroup after I met Jimmy \u00c5lund at Ken Black Racing. We made a sponsorship deal for Jimmy in Europe and started talking about a contingency program with Speedgroup. Now it\u2019s a reality and we\u2019re very excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_829\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/03\/summit_cp_2016_01.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-829\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-829\" class=\"wp-image-829 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/03\/summit_cp_2016_01.jpg\" alt=\"summit_cp_2016_01\" width=\"540\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greg Anderson, Jim Greenleaf and Jason Line at Pomona<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Summit Racing Equipment was founded in 1968 as a part-time business by a drag racer frustrated by the lack of speed shops in the northeast part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Now the largest retailer of racing and performance products in the world, Summit Racing has followed a simple business formula: Give customers the parts they want at a fair price, deliver those parts fast, and back them with the best customer service on the planet.\u00a0The company inventories millions of parts from over 1,400 manufacturers for everything from street performance to drag racing, street rods, circle track racing, and even off-roading.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/03\/summit_cp_2016_03.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-831\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-831\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/03\/summit_cp_2016_03.jpg\" alt=\"summit_cp_2016_03\" width=\"540\" height=\"386\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have all parts a Sportsman racer can think of,\u201d Jim explained. \u201cWith the iParcel service, we can let customers pay all of the delivery fees, taxes, and customs duties up front.
