Mick Snyder poised for a win at Gateway

Mick Snyder and Team are headed to the Arch for the rescheduled NHRA Lucas Oil All-American Hot Rod Showdown this weekend. Before the reigning NHRA North Central Division Champions peel the prestigious number 31 off their Powersource Transportation 1963 Supercharged, ComSyncEFI Top Sportsman Corvette, the Snyder Motorsports Team is looking to improve on their Shakedown at the Summit performance, which yielded a new combination best of 6.110 seconds and was paired with a semi final finish.  The 6-time Season Champs have made some significant changes for this weekend’s action and are planning to test before the start of the All-American Hot Rod Showdown, which runs from October 20th through the 22nd.

“We have a really fast Powersource Transportation Vette with this Snyder Motorsports Hemi, ComSyncEFI and Lencodrive combo.  We made some changes to the car since the last race and I have been putting in the late nights crunching numbers into the ComSyncEFI System.  The plan is to make the Orange Menace a little more menacing,” Snyder smiled. “As we make more passes, spend more late nights crunching numbers and scour more data from our past 20 years of blown racing experience, we can only learn more and advance for both our customers and our car.  I’m a little sad to see the season coming to a close.  I just want a few more laps to test our ideas.  Oh, and a little Wally to finish off the season right.”

As Snyder looks to finish his season with new combination best numbers and a little Wally in his hand, the first two rounds of the three qualifying shots for the All-American Hot Rod Showdown will begin Friday at noon and 4:00 PM.  Qualifying continues on Saturday with one more chance to make the 32-car field at 10:00 AM with the start of eliminations to follow.  Final eliminations will be concluded on Sunday.  For up to date information please log ontowww.dragracecentral.com
