Mick Murray – Top Bike

Local businessman, Mick Murray also takes on the Nitro powered Top Bike class. The pinnacle of two wheeled drag racing, Top Bikes cover the standing quarter mile in just over 6 seconds.

In the four wheeled categories Scott MacLean returns to the Top Doorslammer class of the ANDRA Pro Series with new livery thanks to D&M Enterprises in his 57 Chev.
