Mick Snyder Topeka National Event Preview

Snyder Loaded Up and Ready for Topeka​

​

When Mick Snyder headed to the races this weekend he had one less thing to bring with him, a race car. For the first time the Team will be using their new trailer that will be hauled to and from the race track by major associate sponsor Powersource Transportation. Now that they have the trailer prepared, the Knoll Gas – Torco Racing Fuels / Powersource Transportation sponsored Team is hoping this will be the weekend that everything else comes together as well.

“We are so excited to be using the new trailer for this race. Everything fit, so that is always a plus. There are still a few things to do before Joliet, like get it wrapped, but for the most part we are moved into our “new home”. We are still going to be driving the motorhome to all the races, so it won’t be that big of a change, except now, we will actually have to have everything ready on time for Powersource Transportation to pick up. That could be a challenge for us,” remarked Snyder.

The back-to-back-to-back Division 3 championship Team just clinched their second straight Division 3 Jeg’s All-Star spot a couple of weeks ago in Norwalk, Ohio. After working non-stop the last two weeks they are really looking forward to seeing how the car will react this weekend.

“We continue to try to improve the performance of the car. We have had some good moments, but we aren’t happy yet with where we are. We know we have the backing behind this car and we have the ability but we haven’t been able to put it all together yet. Maybe this weekend all the hard work will finally pay off for our Team.”

Qualifying will begin on Friday at 3 PM and 6:15 PM. It will continue on Saturday at 10:15 AM. Eliminations begin at 3:30 PM on Saturday evening and continue on Sunday around noon. Please log onto www.dragracecentral.com for up to date coverage of the event.
