High Altitude Focus for Gilmour Motorsports
Following a two-month break since his last race, Greg Hunter and his ExactAir Compliance Systems Top Alcohol Dragster team is eager to return to the competition this weekend….
.
The team has taken a hard look at their tune-up after early exits at the season-opening races at Pomona and Las Vegas. Now Hunter and his Kenny Gilmour Motorsports group want to put their adjustments to the test at the Grease Monkey Thunder on the Mountain Lucas Oil Series regional event and Bandimere Speedway, June 14-16.
.
“We had some time off after the last race in Vegas. We were a little disappointed with our performance at that race, so we went through everything on the car. I think we learned a few things that should improve our performance at Denver this weekend. We got some good data when we ran here for the first time last year. That should also help us run better than we have all year,” said Hunter, who is racing in his second year in TAD after switching from an alcohol-burning Funny Car.
.
Hunter, who last raced at the SummitRacing.com Nationals in Las Vegas in April, has been unable to proceed past first round of eliminations at all three of his races this season. Despite decent qualifying efforts, the Canadian team has suffered minor problems first round. Greg hopes all of the car’s gremlins are ironed out so he can race late into eliminations in front of the Denver fans and visiting ExactAir customers.
.
“We enjoyed racing at Denver last year. They draw one of the larger crowds for a regional event on the western half of the U.S. We’re also hosting ExactAir customers at this race as we did last year, so we want to have a good showing for them. ”
.
Greg and the ExactAir/Kenny Gilmour Motorsports Top Alcohol Dragster team will first take to the track for Friday’s lone qualifying session at 4 PM local time. Qualifying continues with sessions at 3:30 and 6:30 PM on Saturday. First round of eliminations is scheduled for Sunday at noon.
