PRODUCTS & PRESS SNYDER FALLS SHORT AT THE SUMMIT
At the second NHRA North Central Lucas Oil Divisional of 2017 , Mick Snyder and the Powersource Transportation Team traveled to Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk , OH for a rain soaked NHRA Cavalcade of Stars . The 6-time Season Champs and their unconventional Supercharged , ComSyncEFI Top Sportsman combination gained a great deal of exposure on and off the track . Off the track , Snyder was invited to participate in the always-popular “ Stars ” autograph session . On the track , the Team qualified near the top of the pack with a 1000-foot shot . However , the team fell short during the second round of eliminations on Sunday and ultimately lost the Jeg ’ s All Star points lead by less than a round .
“ It wasn ’ t a great weekend for the Powersource Transportation Team . While we still learned a few things , we really need laps with this new engine combination . The rain once again shortened our qualifying shots and played havoc on the race schedule ,” Snyder continued . “ We ended up falling less than a round short of our goal to represent Division 3 in the Jeg ’ s Allstars , but that ’ s part of competition . With the new points structure , we hope to have another shot at it next season .”
During qualifying , the Powersource Transportation Corvette ran 6.236 seconds at 210.34 miles per hour with the 1000-foot pass to put them third on the qualifying sheet . Snyder took the win in the opening round of competition with a lifting 6.318 at 218.80 mph effort . In the second round , Snyder lit the big red bulb in the losing effort .
“ The Snyder Motorsports Team has a little time off till our next event . This should give us some time to get a few customer projects completed . I also have a couple Radial Races to hit with my Texas Crew , so it should be an action packed month even with the Powersource Transportation Vette resting comfortably in the shop ,” Snyder smiled .
