Snyder Makes Successful Pro Extreme Debut
To kick-off of the 2010 season, Mick Snyder and the Snyder Motorsports
Race Team sponsored by Powersource Transportation, made the trip to
Virginia Motorsports Park last weekend to make their ADRL Pro Extreme
debut. The 28 year old Snyder, a 16 year veteran of the sport, had a
successful weekend getting his feet wet behind the wheel of the '63
Corvette.
After qualifying number 10 with a 5.78 at 201 mph, Snyder was first off
the line and never looked back in first round, matching his qualifying
effort with a 3.78 at 203 mph. In the second round, Snyder cut a great
.012 light, but the car came unhooked down track, and he had to abort
the run. The ADRL rookie did a great job of driving as the car was up
on 2 wheels at one point but he was able to reel her back in and save
the Powersource Transportation Corvette.
"It was really a great weekend for us. The car ran well, and we learned
so much. Second round marked our 5th full pass on the car. I am still
getting the feel of her, and even though we have run this combination in
the past, we are trying to get a handle on what this car wants versus
the funny cars and dragsters we have had. So, to accomplish as much as
we did, is very exciting for the Team," said the second generation
driver.
"Now we will take what we have learned and go back to the shop to get
ready for the Michigan race. There is a lot left in this car and as we
get more laps, that will begin to show."
The Snyder Motorsports Race Team would also like to thank their
associate sponsors Lencodrive Racing Transmissions, R & R Racing
Products, Flatout Gaskets, NGK, Lucas Oil, Snyder Auto, VP Racing Fuels,
JE Pistons, PSI Springs, Long Printing, Goodson, Jeg's and The Winning
Team for their continued support this year.
