Dilts to Present TNT Race of Champions

Dilts Piston Hydraulics to Present the 2013 TNT Super Series Race of Champions…

The 2013 season will be the SEVENTH for the popular Joe’s Transmission TNT Super Series, a 10.90 based sportsman drag racing series that holds events in both western New York and southern Ontario. 

Series officials are excited to announce the return of the prestigious Race of Champions with Dilts Piston Hydraulics presenting the 3rd annual event.

With no entry fee and the highest winner’s purse of any TNTSS event, the Dilts Piston Hydraulics Race of Champions will draw the cream of the crop in sportsman racers.  Only previous TNTSS event winners are eligible to enter and qualifying is set based on past performance.

Last year’s winner, Jamie Stoneman came out of retirement after two years and marched through the field to victory.  And JJ Jablonski, who won the ROC in 2011, earned himself the overall series championship in 2012.

“We are very excited about being a part of the TNT Super Series,” said Ian Hill of Dilts Piston Hydraulics.  “I am a huge fan of perfection type racing and there’s nothing more perfect than trying to run a ‘number’ that somebody else has put on your window!  Index racing is one of the most hated and loved classes in drag racing.  People either will never get it and hate it, or are like me and want a set of bleachers setup about two feet away from the finish line.”

Ian sees the TNTSS as top notch, from the competitiveness of the racers, the reporting of the races, to the year end banquet.  “It is very clear why the TNTSS numbers are growing!” he added.

“The ROC is a pretty exciting race to be part of.  Dilts Piston Hydraulics looks forward to meeting the drivers throughout the 2013 season, to wish them luck and learn more about one of the hardest series to win a race in.”

Dilts Piston Hydraulics is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2013 with an open house coming this summer.

The date and location for the 2013 Dilts Piston Hydraulics TNTSS Race of Champions will be announced in coming weeks along with the rest of the 2013 TNTSS event schedule.  Visit www.tntsuperseries.com regularly to stay up to date on all the latest news from the most competitive sportsman drag racing series in the country.

About the Joe’s Transmission TNT Super Series (TNTSS):

Since it began in 2006, the TNT Super Series has grown into one of the strongest, most competitive sportsman drag racing series in North America and has catapulted many competitors to success on the national and divisional stages.

The TNTSS is a self-governing organization with input from its teams.  Based on NHRA’s Super Street & IHRA’s Hot Rod classes, competitors run on a 10.90 index in the 1/4 mile (7.00 in the 1/8 mile) and race for a guaranteed purse that pays back more than 100% of the racer’s entry fees.  The yearend points fund pays the top eight finishers and the Series Champion receives a prize package worth over $3500.00.

The TNTSS is committed to providing the highest level of competition backed by solid media support to showcase its participants across North America.  Events are contested at various drag racing facilities in southern Ontario and western New York and put on a spectacular show for the drag racing fan.
