3072 Mark Murray: 1st
place Sportsman division A special congratulations goes out to Mark Murray. This year we believe he has set 2 new firsts records at MDP. His first one being the youngest winner of a class, Mark turned 19 in February of this year. The second one is being the first Import driver to win a class. For those of you who do not know, Mark drives a 1994 Honda Accord that is his daily driver. Mark shows no mercy on the Accord as he puts it through the gears at each and every race and then to top it off, enters it in the burn out competition. |

Our Top MPH goes to Trevor Moulton with his 2000 Pro Outlaw Camaro with 6.97 ET and 203 MPH). Trevor was the first and only person to break over 200mph at M.D.P. this summer. Trevor demonstrated that his ride was indeed a very fast car as he consistently set mph records over 200. His blown-alcohol Camaro was another fan favorite this summer. Trevor’s top E.T. was 6.970 with a 1.15 60 foot and set the Top MPH @ 203.63 mph. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Our Top E.T. goes to Kevin “Capone” Trites out of Moncton in his Nitro dragster they call the “Widow Maker.” Kevin holds the record with a 6.85 in a ¼ mile. His 1.04 60 feet is a track record for a Maritime racer. As Kevin became comfortable with his new ride this year he really proved to be one of the fastest cars to be reckoned with.Sponsored by Home of the Dragon; Castro Racing Oils; Bowie Inc | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

congratulations to all of you for the fastest year ever.68 Camaro (706 Cubic Inch)
