May 1-3, 2009:
In a show of support for the New family, Jim Murphy and the WW2
Racing team made the long trek to Boise, Idaho for the 2009 Firebird
Raceway Ignitor. Hampered by intermittent rain storms, Murphy
clicked off a stellar 5.83 at just 220 MPH on Saturday to qualify
# 1. He followed that up with a 5.75 at 222 on Sunday."This
new car is a monster, can't wait to get down to sea level.”
Unfortunately, in the final round, Murphy smoked the tires and
crossed the centerline. Jim's next event is a match race with
Jack Harris at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City June
26 & 27 during the IHRA event there. More at: All American Fuel Dragsters
