March 02, 2010: In its 51 year history only two drivers have won the prestigious March Meet four times. The first is drag racing legend Don "Big Daddy" Garlits and the other is Jim Murphy. Garlits' career is over and his four victories are etched in stone - not so with Murphy.
On March 5th - 7th Murphy and his WW2 Racing Top Fuel dragster will once again give his best to break the tie and stand alone as the only 5 time winner of the nations most notable independent drag race. Having won in 1998, 1999, 2003 and 2004 number five has eluded him and he doesn't know how many more shots he'll have.
Going into the race Murphy said, "I can honestly say I don't ever remember going into a season better prepared. We have made some significant changes in the car including a new fuel injector that allows me to see much better." Stating further, "With Tim Beebe returning as crew chief and a solid bunch of guys around him I feel as confident as ever that number five is in reach."
If you are planning to attend the March Meet held at the Auto Club Famoso Raceway be sure to stop buy Jim's pit and say hi.
