SEATTLE (July 31) –
Northwest native Greg Hunter will race at his home national event
this weekend. Driving the Synoil Energy Services/ExactAir Top Alcohol
Funny Car, Hunter is competing at the O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA
Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways, August 1-3. Despite having
four months off since their last national event, Greg and the Geoff
Goodwin-led Synoil Racing team are excited to improve upon their
performance and race for their first Wally together.
“Our last NHRA national
event was the SummitRacing.com Nationals in March, where we reached
the semifinals. Over July 4th weekend we ran a match race
at the IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals with John Evanchuk. A lot of our
sponsors were in attendance and the car ran well. Since then I've
been doing a lot of business stuff with work – that has been going
very well – so it'll be nice to go out to Seattle and race again.
It's been a while since we've been back at the track and back at an
NHRA national event,” Hunter claimed.
Hunter, who resides in
Wyoming, last raced at the Northwest Nationals in 2013 behind the
wheel of a blown Top Alcohol Dragster. Seattle was the site of his
first national event race with his own TAFC in 2004. Now he's back in
a methanol-burning Funny Car, eager to push deep into eliminations in
front of a home crowd.
“Seattle is one of our
team's favorite races. It's a great track and it looks like the
temperature should be just right. It's going to be a tough field but
we're confident going in that we'll be able to run with anyone,”
Greg added.
Greg Hunter and the Synoil
Energy Services/ExactAir Top Alcohol Funny Car team will hit the
track at 1:45 and 4:30 PM on Friday and noon on Saturday for
qualifying. Eliminations begin at 2:45 PM on Saturday and resume on
Sunday morning.
