He’s one of the local heroes representing his hometown in the Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars event to be held at Mackay’s Palmyra Raceway May 16, and Glenn Moore is stepping it up for his hometown race with a new monster engine combination for his Bad to Bone Pontiac.
With a strong hometown following, Moore has been looking forward to heading back to Palmyra since the inaugural event held at the venue last year.
“I can’t wait to get the car to the race track, we have done some huge travelling miles over the last few months and the chance to race at home is one I have been looking forward to racing.
“The entire Palmyra committee has done a great job and I am sure, like last year, we will have a boomer crowd.”
Moore also explained that his Pontiac nitro funny car will have more power than ever before.
“We have just finished fitting new BAE engine down in Sydney with the boys from the Aeroflow shop.
“The new engine combination includes a much bigger fuel pump and a much more powerful magneto to send some flames out of those header pipes!”
“We not only want to get some wins, we want to go as quick and fast as we can and this combination is as good as anything in the country.”
Moore will also be attending the Mackay Motorshow on the 9th and 10th May and will perform two ‘start ups’ on Saturday and two ‘start ups’ on Sunday, something that will bring a smile to the face of those not well versed in the ways of nitro.
“It’s going to be great,” laughed Moore. “I’m sure it will surprise a few people and probably scare a whole heap more!”
Nitro racing in Mackay will be at 4pm, 6pm and 8pm, with spectators advised to arrive at 3pm for the ‘salute to the crowd’.
