Snyder Finishes in the Joliet Quarterfinals

The Snyder Motorsports Top Alcohol Funny Car sponsored by TORCO Race Fuels finished the weekend in the quarterfinals for the third straight race.

The Team that was hoping to repeat their winning performance from last year’s fall event, came up a little short this past weekend. They began the weekend by qualifying #4 with a 5.75 at 248.71 mph. First round, the Team took the win light running a 5.77 at 289.72 mph. In second round they stepped up to a 5.70 at 250.97, but it wasn’t quite enough. Snyder crossed the finish line second by a .0105 margin (approximately 4 feet).

“We are disappointed we were not able to put things together and win this race, but we are very excited about some of the things that we learned about the car,” said Snyder.

“Each time we go down the track we gain more data, which we are using to improve. I know this is a good car and a great team, it is just a matter of time until the TORCO Race Fuels car is back in the winner’s circle.”

For the next few races on their schedule the Team will be shifting gears to participate in the North Central Lucas Oil Sportsman Series events. They will begin at Mid-Michigan Motorplex on the weekend of July 4th.

Snyder Motorsports Team would like to thank our major sponsor TORCO Racing Fuels and our associate sponsors Coan Converters, Design 500, Flatout Gaskets, Lencodrive Racing Transmissions, Long Printing, R & R Racing Products, Snyder Auto and Spitzer Race Cars for their continued support.
