LAS VEGAS (October 24, 2012) – Greg Hunter returns this weekend to the place where he made his first Top Alcohol Dragster start, The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The Strip means even more to the Sheridan, Wyo., resident since he earned his first round win there earlier this year. Now Greg and the ExactAir/Kenny Gilmour Motorsports team plan on notching a few more round wins at the NHRA Big O Tires Nationals.

“We’ve had almost a three month break from racing, so everyone on the ExactAir team is really chomping at the bit to get back to racing. Especially since this is one of the best races on the tour. We have a lot of friends coming down from Canada and a few ExactAir customers will be joining us. We’re looking to have a good showing,” Greg said.

Team owner/crew chief Kenny Gilmour and the team have been working hard to prepare the ExactAir blown Top Alcohol Dragster for the upcoming three-race swing.

“The crew basically went through everything on the car. They made some improvements on parts. We had a few issues so we wanted to refine everything that we could. We’ve definitely made more steps in the right direction,” said the former Alcohol Funny Car driver.

The Las Vegas track is a favorite for Greg and the team, adding to the excitement of 270 mph Top Alcohol Dragster racing.

“Las Vegas is definitely one of my favorite tracks, and the crew loves it. This is where I attended my first race with the dragster, at the regional. It’s a great track, it’s a great city. Just about all of the classes in racing are represented at this race; all of the Pro classes, alcohol cars, plus the Sportsman classes. It has a really good vibe,” said the TAD rookie.

“One of our main goals is we want to improve every time we go out,” Greg claimed. “We want to improve on our qualifying position, our best E.T., our best speed, as well as how far we go into eliminations. We’ve gone past first round, but we want to go to round three and eventually the finals. We’re going to take it one step at a time. Just keep improving; that’s our main goal.”

Greg Hunter and the ExactAir Top Alcohol Dragster team will get three qualifying sessions at the Big O Tires NHRA Nationals, October 26-28. Two sessions on Friday around 11 am and 6 pm; one on Saturday at 1 pm. First round of eliminations is scheduled for 4:30 pm Saturday afternoon.
