The Bader Family and Summit Motorsports Park Understand Entertainment

/

For years I have discussed the importance of bringing back the entertainment value when it comes to drag racing and for some it falls on deaf ears, but for others like the Bader Family and their track, Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio it is all about the entertainment and putting on one hell of a show for the fans.

If you have never been to Summit Motorsports Park you are really missing out on going to an amazing facility. We can talk about how great the surface is, or how long the shutdown is, or even how great the media center is, but let’s face it, it’s the $1 pound of ice cream that steals the show. This track has been a staple for well over 40 years and continues to attract the best of the best when it comes to putting on events.

Summit Motorsports Park is situated just outside Norwalk, Oh. and a stones throw from Lake Erie. There is certainly plenty to do in the area, so the Bader Family has made it a priority to provide entertainment for the locals and the guests. Carrying themselves in a very professional manner the entire time as well (just look at those uniforms they wear when you go).

Norwalks hosts an NHRA National Event, an NMRA event, PDRA, and the list goes on and on, but what everyone seems to get really jacked for is their traditional Night Under Fire. This is an event that features Pro Mods, Nitro Funny Cars, Top Fuelers, Jet Cars, Fireworks, and an atmosphere that most rock concerts can’t even rival.

E3xtreme Lead Photographer David Hilner was on site for everything over the weekend and let us know that it is a must attend event! We are sharing just a few of his images, and there will be a link to the rest at the bottom of the page.

I personally want to commend the Bader family on such a great event. Also, to give them props for continuing to understand the importance of providing entertainment value to the community. With so many things to do and so many ways to spend your money, the Bader family has made another statement about why that choice should be at Summit Motorsports Park. That is where you will find real entertainment and real value for the entire family.
