Murphy Brings Home 2nd in SCRA Competition!

Hanford, CA – April 22, 2007…Race fans, we were lucky enough to
get SCRA points race #4 in the books last Saturday night at Kings
Speedway. After raining out the previous week Peter and the team
were anxious to hit the 3/8 mile and "get after it!"
After qualifying the Tarlton & Son, Tachi Palace Hotel &
Casino, Ridgeline Framing, Sharp Insurance, VMAC, BR Motorsports #21
in the 5th spot, we were set for racing in Extreme
Mufflers Heat-1. After the 8-lap affair, Peter brought home a solid
2nd place finish, which then put us in the dash. And
again, Peter did a superb job by bringing us home in the 2nd
spot. In main event action, Peter and super-talented competitor,
Davey Pombo battled tooth-and-nail during the 30-lap affair. However
on lap-20 Pombo got around us, and we again, brought home 2nd
place.
Well, we almost did it buddy: "Yeah, we lead
it for a long way, but we got into lapped traffic and Davey got
around us. No excuses, Davey had to deal with it too and he did a
great job to get around us."
On Tap! It's back to Hanford next week - April 28th,
for more SCRA sprint car action. After a night of 2nd place
finishes, Peter will be looking to "bump up" one position
as he is in the hunt for the win. "Murph" lurks 2nd
in the points with only 6-points separating himself and Kerman's
Davey Pombo going into this weekend's race.
Check Out! Fellow race fans, are you looking to get

Question of the Week! Brian Simonseth asks. "I
hear his car in Washington State is #18P (P being purple) what does
the purple mean?"
Peter Answers! "(laughing hard)
Brian, I don't really know what it means. I think it has something
to do with the "Purple People Eater?"
If you have a question for Peter, simply email me at gary_costa1@yahoo.com
and I will get your question to him!
See you at the races!
