INEX Summer Shootout
Welcome to The Third Turn's centralized portal for the entire history of the INEX Summer Shootout event. This is a major annual event that encompasses a number of divisions.
The Third Turn published our first comprehensive history of this event in May 2026. We have complete statistical history of the event for 1999-present, save a handful of divisions missing their final two rounds in 2002 and a handful of races where one or two positions are missing due to timing errors. From 1994-1998, we believe we have at minimum a complete and authoratitive winners list for all major divisions. Minor divisions that did not run for titles - such as Grand American, CRASHCar, and Chargers - we have histories of as well, though reporting on their events was sometimes spotty and we can not guarantee we have located each race.
If you possess any of the missing information for the series or have any other data that could add on to what we present here, we would welcome you to contact us.
