Northstar Speed Summit 2024

Sports and Recreation

June 6, 2024

From: Brainerd International Raceway and Resort

Northstar Speed Summit is a turbocharged motorsports rodeo for imports and sport compact cars at BIR. It features drifting, drag racing, autocross, roll racing and open lapping on the road course. With a burnout competition following Saturday’s drag racing and night drift sessions, NORTHSTAR SPEED SUMMIT offers a full weekend of racing activities.

Drifting The fan favorite is the drifting exhibition, where drivers navigate through a course mostly in controlled (or uncontrolled, in some cases) skids. It’s an amazing display of car control – and they make it look so easy!

?Autocross is similar in that drivers are timed as they maneuver through a cone-lined course, but they’re slower and more controlled without the skidding.

?Drag Strip Action
New Drag Racing Classes, Cash Payouts for Sport, Pro, Outlaw Classes!!!
Winners In Sport, Pro, Outlaw will receive a NHRA Speed For All WALLY at the June 8th race!!

Index Classes now open to Domestic Cars & Trucks that are either:

On Friday the drag strip will run 12 pm-6 pm for an open test & tune session giving racers a chance to test & tune their cars in preparation of Saturdays qualifying and eliminations. Friday will also be qualifying sessions 1 & 2 for Street, Pro, & Outlaw classes with sessions scheduled for 1:00pm & 4:00pm.
