If there’s one thing we learned from our Muscle Car Match-Ups tournament in March, it’s that you’re passionate about muscle cars and street machines. It just so happens many, many participants at the Super Summit 2013 show are just as passionate about American muscle. The muscle car is well represented at the show, including Chevys, Fords,
Day Two of Super Summit 2013 looked, sounded, and felt exactly how its designers intended. Lots of people. And lots of cars. Magnificent ones, at times. The Manufacturer Midway was jamming. Bigfoot was crushing cars. Team FMX was doing their motocross assault on Summit County fairgrounds airspace. The weather cooperated. And the masses were rewarded

Summit Racing will also play host to several nationally recognized hot rods and race cars at its giant two-day Super Summit 2013 show on Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22.
