TOP
FUEL FINAL
The final featured a pair of
Jim's, Murphy and Young, the #1 & #2 qualifiers. Both driving
Neal & Parks race cars, One a seasoned vet, the other a young
gun. West coast fans for Murphy, East coast fans for Young. Oh,
and both cars are green. A perfect match up if I do say so myself.
For you Hawaiian fans, who would
have thought that Roland Leong would be tuning a front engine
Top Fuel dragster in 2017 that runs quicker and faster than 95%
of his Big Show cars, which were many.
Young left first but
it was short lived.
Murphy, who was the most consistent
Top Fuel car all weekend, ran another 5.713 at 257.33 (his best
speed of the meet). Young gave it a shot with a 5.920 at 253.56.
Could have used his 5.61 qualifying time.
Murphy not only took the long
overdue win but also overcame Fry for the points lead. Gonna
be a fun season.
Roland Leong, Dan Wilkison and
the rest of the WW2 Racing team finally had a chance to celebrate.
Odds are, this won't be the last time this season.
