TNT Super Series enhances points structure and posts record payouts for 2014 season
Eighth season for popular 10.90 series will again offer the best payouts in the country!
CANFIELD, ONTARIO (March 16, 2014) With the 2014 season fast approaching, the Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series is announcing some exciting changes to its championship points chase as it enters its eighth year.
Points earned will still follow the NHRA/IHRA division model, but qualifying points will be doubled and there will be bonus points for perfect attendance in 2014. "With the level of competition already the best in the country, we wanted to shake things up a bit," said Ted Barnes, TNTSS Director.
The top sixteen qualifiers will now earn twice as many points with the number one qualifier earning 32 points (up from 16) all the way to the sixteenth qualifier earning 2 points at each race.
"With some of the toughest qualified fields in sportsman drag racing already, we think you'll see an even bigger focus on qualifying with racers trying to capture those ever-important bonus points!"
There will also be a 40 point bonus for drivers who attend all ten events in 2014. "This is obviously designed to reward those who support the series whole-heartedly," added Ted. "And being 40 points, it is just enough to give guys a boost but not enough to take someone out of championship contention if they have to miss a race."
