Snyder Looking for Back to Back Wins

Mick Snyder and the Snyder Motorsports Top Alcohol Funny Car Race Team will be in Joliet, Illinois this weekend for the Ameriquest Mortgage Company NHRA National event. Snyder, the defending event champion, is looking to repeat his performance from last year.

“Last year, I earned my first National event victory at this race. This year I would like to collect my second. We have a great car and going in we feel like we will be able to duplicate our winning performance. Hopefully, all the cards will fall into place and we will be up there in the winner’s circle again,” Snyder commented.

The TORCO Racing Fuels sponsored funny car, based out of DeMotte, IN, is currently 4th in the National standings. With a final round appearance here they could move into 3rd place overall.

“We mathematically wrapped up the Division 3 Championship and the Spitzer Low Qualifier Series Championship last weekend. It would be great if we could move up into that 3rd place spot in the National standings. It’s funny, 3 years ago when we began racing this class, if you told me we would be where we are now I am not sure I would have believed you. It isn’t that we don’t believe in ourselves, it is just that our car is so different from everyone else’s. No one really knew for sure if this combination could run these kind of numbers consistently. This year I believe we have proven we can run with the best of them,” said Snyder.

Qualifying for the event will begin on Friday with 2 shots, one at 1:30 and one at 5:00. The final qualifying shot will be Saturday morning at 9:00. Final eliminations begin on Sunday at 9:00 AM. You can keep up with all the exciting qualifying and eliminations action all weekend long on dragracecentral.com.
