Peter Murphy has always been famous in our neck of the woods for breaking out a special Breast Cancer Awareness car around October every year. The Pink car was always a staple of Peters each season. The Peter Murphy Classic this coming Saturday July 26 at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway will feature the biggest purse of the season for the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series. The A-main event will pay $5,000-to-win & $700-to-start! In addition to the beefed up purse there will also be $500 on the line for fast time, hard charger and the longest tow! A 360 Sprint Car bonus of $300, $200 and $100 will also be awarded to the three highest finishing drivers utilizing a 360 engine during the night. The Dash during the night will also have a special twist thrown in. Rather than doing the standard eight car dash where all drivers compete for six laps, the night will see an Australian & New Zealand style Pole Shuffle thrown into the mix. The eight dash cars will still be determined the same way as always, but drivers will race each other two by two for two laps, until the final pair go at it for a couple laps to determine the pole sitter. The drivers that draw 8 & 7 will race each other first, with the winner going against the driver that draws number 6. The process will go on until there are two drivers left standing. Reserved grandstand seats for the Peter Murphy Classic on Saturday July 26 will cost $25 with general admission bleacher tickets $20. To reserve your seat contact (559) 688-0909. The front gate will open at 4pm with racing expected to get underway around 7pm.
