LAS VEGAS (October 23) – A two-month
break from racing is over for Greg Hunter and his ExactAir Compliance Systems
Top Alcohol Dragster team. The Kenny Gilmour-owned team will return to the site
of Greg’s TAD debut and first round win, The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway,
for the Toyota NHRA Nationals, Oct. 25-27. The race is the first of three in a
row for the Canadian group.
“The team spent our off-weekends
preparing for these three races. We didn’t have the greatest performance at
Brainerd. We were missing one of our most important crew members, Cal. He’ll be
with us for the next three races though, so I feel confident. Our whole team –
Gary, Johnny, Del, Kenny, Darlene, and my wife Staci - is excited to race in
Vegas again. We always have a lot of friends and customers join us, adding to
the fun Vegas atmosphere,” said Greg, who is in just his second season in TAD.
Three consecutive races – the Las Vegas
national and regional event and Auto Club Finals at Pomona – give the part-time
team a chance to improve their routine through practice.
“Our goal is always to improve every
aspect on every run. That includes everything from the tune-up, to the driving,
and the maintenance. Racing three events consecutively gives us more
opportunities to improve and less time to forget what we learned at the
previous race.”
Joining Greg and the ExactAir/Kenny
Gilmour Motorsports team in Vegas will be twenty other Top Alcohol Dragsters
from all over the western half of the country, all fighting for a chance to
race for the Wally at the penultimate national event of the season.
“There are a lot of serious contender
cars entered for this race. We need to bring our A-game so we can qualify well
enough to set ourselves up for a long race day. If we can improve on every run,
I think can do better than we did at the last Vegas race,” Greg added.
