History
Summit Racing Equipment began in 1968, as a part-time, one-person business. As word of the low prices got out, the business grew.1969-1987
In 1969, Summit Racing Equipment opened it first store in Akron, Ohio. The company's early product line included performance parts from Accel, Holley, Mallory, Hurst, Mickey Thompson, and other "big names". Throughout the 70s and 80s, Summit Racing Equipment continued to grow, and the company’s Summit Racing Catalog grew from an annual buyers guide to a bi-monthly publication.
1992-1999
In 1992, the company moved its headquarters to a larger facility in Tallmadge, Ohio. With a larger Retail Store and Distribution Center, the company expanded its product offering to include truck, SUV, and Jeep-specific parts.
In 1998, Summit Racing Equipment opened a second Retail Store and Distribution Center in Sparks, Nevada. That location enabled customers in the western United States to receive parts in one to two days via ground shipping.
To keep up with the high demand for performance and styling parts, the company doubled the size of its facility in 1999. With the new space, Summit Racing Equipment could stock millions of parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
2002-2007
In 2002, the doors of Summit Racing Equipment's new 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) Retail Super Store opened in Tallmadge, Ohio. The store is a destination for enthusiasts, with thousands of parts on display, legendary vehicles like Don Garlits' Swamp Rat 32, plus customer-built vehicles on display. A third location, in McDonough, Georgia, opened in 2006. That location solidified the company’s ability to ship throughout most of the United States within 1–2 days via ground shipping.
In 2007, Summit Racing Equipment acquired Genuine Hotrod Hardware, a direct mail company specializing in apparel, decor, gifts and other hot rod lifestyle products.

Wix 58837 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit
RITE-PRICE PUROLATOR PARTS STORE
I bought a second hand 2000 oldsmobile Intrigue GX. I want to replace the transmission filter follow the manual's recommendation. I went to some local shop, the filter kit is very expensive. Filter and gasket have the same price. But this kit which includes the filter and the gasket costs less than the filter in my local stores. I gave this kit to my dealer to let them install it for me. After replacement, the accelerate is better than before. I think it is worth the price.
