Derek Snyder
Snyder sets fast time @ Berlin! night ends early
The Vertech Motorsports team traveled to one of their favorite tracks Saturday hoping to finally change their luck.
The night started off well with Snyder laying down some pretty impressive lap times in hot laps. Derek backed up his hot lap times
with a blistering qualifying lap of 13.028 which was less than a tenth from the track record,and had an average speed of 121 MPH.
This was good making fast time for the night, and was 4 tenths faster than the second place qualifier. Snyder started his heat race on the outside of the third row, and raced his way up
to 4th, Derek was all over the 3rd place car but ran out of laps. After the checkered flag was thrown the engine broke, taking Snyder
out for the night, and possibly the next few races. This was the teams only engine so the team will be looking for other ways to get on
the track.
