Murphy’s new containment device and breather system worked to perfection as all the oil went into the containment vessel and no oil went on the track.  Murphy and his team looked to have a great deal of work to do to make the final.

Murphy’s opponent in the final would be determined between White and Harris.  Harris had an exceptional 0.095 light and was never headed as the Hooper; Utah, veteran took the win 5.88 at 245.29 to the San Diego-based driver’s 6.58.

As the sun started to set and the cars were called to the lanes the long red “Nitro Hemi” car appeared, but it was evident that Murphy was not going to make the call, and Harris got to single for the win.

“We had the parts but there was so many shavings in the oil system I didn’t want to risk it, but we had a great weekend,” Murphy said.

While the final may have been anti-climactic, there was a sense of things coming full circle for Brett Harris.
