Snyder tries the high banks of Salem

Derek Snyder and the Vertech Motorsports team took the long drive to their season opener at the extremely fast high banked Salem Speedway. The team practiced on friday and had Snyder @ 14.6 seconds in only his second time ever on the track, which was only a few tenths off of the track record. On Saturday Snyder was fast in hot lap sessions but had some oil pressure issues nagging at them. Snyder qualified with a quick 14.659 which was good for 3rd place of 25 cars. In his heat race, Snyder got a great start from his 6th place starting position, and was able to charge to a 3rd place finish. Snyder started on the outside of the 4th row in the feature, he had a good start but fell back and had to drop out early because of oil pressure problems, finishing in 14th. The team looks to get the problems resolved and have a better showing at winchester. The salem race can be seen on the comcast network thursday may 7th and on www.mustseeracing.com.
