Summit Racing Equipment, an industry leader in the distribution of auto racing parts and equipment through catalogs and the Internet.
Summit's History From Their Web Site
Summit Racing Equipment: The World's Speed Shop® It was 1968, and a young engineer owned a big block-powered 1967 Corvette roadster with a 427. He made some connections to get hop-up parts at a discount, and it wasn't long before his drag racing buddies found out and wanted the same deal. From such humble beginnings Summit Racing Equipment was born.
Fast-forward to 2018 and that one-man startup is now the World's Speed Shop®—the go-to parts source for thousands of gearheads around the globe.
