All About Hunter

How long have you been racing?
5 years

How did you get into Jr Dragster?
My entire family drag races. I have spent every weekend out there since I was born. Before I was old enough to race I would sit in the stands with my toy cars and trailers and have races while I watched my dad race. My mom says I have nitro in my veins.

What is your favorite thing about racing? 
I love being at the track with my family. I have made so many friends at the track. They have all become my racing family. When I win that is pretty awesome also.

What is your favorite track to race on? 
Rocky Mountain Raceway

What is one word that describes you best?
Ambitious

What sets you apart from other racers?
I am focused. When I put my helmet on I am in race mode and do not want to be bothered. When my helmet is on I am going through the steps in my mind and what I am going to do to make sure my win light comes on at the end of the track.
