Summit is looking for a few good men. Anyone get one of these in a box, in the mail? I wanna see who's team I'm on before sticking it on the car. ![]() | |||

I would opine it started when Bader sold out. When Bader bought IHRA it took off like a rocket, after he sold it has been a steady decline. My opinion..

You can follow the demise of IHRA by the number of top flight Top Fuel teams left on the planet. Which also follows demise of the number of small business's making the bread to support such an endeavor. It all follows the corporate Wall st / china takeover. There's a handful left with multiple cars. | |||

Covey, maybe! But I seem to remember that when IRG bought that mess they had like 120 member tracks and owned 5 out right. As far as I know they only own 1 for sure now and their racing program has about dissolved. That may not be accurate but its close. | |||

Fern, You are correct. Bader stepped down in 2004, I'm just saying they have been on a downhill slide since then. Major sponsors lost and the changing hands multiple times to redesigning the series trying to out NHRA the NHRA. They actually had a damn good series that (I think) was better already. They just could not seem to get the sponsor money to follow them. I honestly think they just did not put forth the effort in that area. My opinion, others may vary.

I plan on racing this weekend at Darlington and I think, not sure, it is still IHRA. So still a few around and I think Summit has stuck with them though it all. I imagine JEGS sponsorship will dwindle under this investment group. We need to support those that support us. Wonder how this will eventually affect SFG and others under the JEGS banner. | |||

Ditto. You type in an exact part # you're looking for and they give you their Chinese crap version for a result. Mike Greene ![]() | |||

Maybe others know what the policy is at Summit and Jeg's for this: I'm used to ordering, and they ship me my sh1t. Well not anymore. I order, and two months later or so, they may send me my sh1t. Whatever. Not their fault. But I guess I never noticed....when I order, they hit the card that day. Not when it ships. Is this the way it has always been? I ordered some pistons from them probably 30 days ago, that at this point I don't know if I will ever get. And they hit the card that very day, and sit on my money. This was Summit.

Both Jegs and Summit always hit your CC instantly when ordering online | |||

If it was on my card and I did not have the product I would dispute the charge with the card company (bank). I did this once and the charge was removed. | |||

A bit of resurrection of an old thread, but on yesterday's NHRA show, they mentioned that Jeg's would not be back as a sponsor on Troy Coughlin Jr's PS car next year. Can't say I'm surprised, but damn.... | |||

If they aren't doing that,I wonder if there still will be a Jeg's All Stars? | |||

Heard that too.. wouldn’t be surprised. Pretty much the sportsman show! Hope it stays. Raceless in California! | |||

New owners obviously dont see the ROI on spending a million $$ a year funding a PS car, same with Summit dropping the major sponsorship of Greg Anderson last year. Hopefully Jegs will continue supporting drag racing on the sportsman level as Summit has | |||

rumor on the street at indy was that this would be the last year jegs sponsored the all star race. ep-pretty crappy as soon as new owners come in they decide to stop supporting the very people that support them. i will exclusively get what i need else where. | |||

99% of my performance parts purchases over the last 30+ years has been through Summit, never paid attention to Jegs then nor now but it shouldn't surprise anyone that the private equity corporation Greenbriar Equity Group that now owns Jegs will make changes https://www.greenbriarequity.com/investment/jegs/ and most if not all will not be popular with racers and their customers. ![]() OG IT!

the jegs family will probably be able to buy the company back in a few years for .25 on the dollar after they run it in the ground. ep | |||
