Hunter Debuting New Look at Vegas Regional
LAS VEGAS, NV – Greg Hunter will have a new look when his Geoff Goodwin-owned Synoil Racing/ExactAir Top Alcohol Funny Car hits The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. The Canadian entry will sport a new black and green design at the Las Vegas regional race, March 21-23.
“The Synoil guys were looking to change up the look of the car since the existing design had been on the car for a few years now. I love doing stuff like that so I volunteered to help get it going. We started working with Greg Ozubko and he put together a couple renderings for us. Everyone on the team had input. We’re really happy with the new look and can’t wait to get it on the track at Vegas,” Greg said of the new vinyl, meticulously applied by Synoil Racing sponsor Landale Signs.
Mixed Results for Hunter at Winternationals TAFC Debut
POMONA, CA – Top Alcohol Funny Car newcomer Greg Hunter experienced the highs and lows of racing in his Synoil Racing debut at the NHRA Circle K Winternationals last weekend. The Wyoming driver posted a strong qualifying time but a simple mechanical failure ended his race day in the first round. Despite the mixed results, Hunter is still enthusiastic about his new ride.
“It was a spectacular weekend. I felt more comfortable in the car on each pass. We came out and made a great pass in the first qualifying session and felt we were on our way to a better finish. We would’ve won first round but the safety box shut the car off at 1000 feet. We were really disappointed about that but overall I’m very excited. The car is making a lot of power. We just need to get a handle on it,” Greg said.
