TAD’s Greg Hunter Adding to ExactAir Team’s Vegas History

LAS VEGAS, NV – 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.
