Darren Morgan Racing capped a triumphant return to WSID, the track where Morgan survived a horrific accident in December, by claiming their maiden ANDRA Gold Christmas Tree.
Top Fuel was intense at the Karcher Nitro Champs, presented by Shannons - and it was the man from Mildura that stood proudly atop of the Nitro heap.
“What an amazing weekend,” beamed an elated Morgan in a post-race television interview.
“This is such a great result for the team. Every single one of our guys has worked so hard lately. This win is for all of them.”
“This is only the second event for this car and it’s been to the final on both occasions,” Continued the Mildura man.
“The more passes we do down the race track the more we learn. We came here looking for good data and to come away with the win is unreal.”
The victory came at a perfect time for the Rocket Industries Wicked Quick Top Fuel Dragster, as a host of extra support was needed to ensure the team could put on a good show and go a few rounds.
“Hi Tec Oils really upped their involvement this weekend,” Said an appreciative Morgan.
“Castle Hill Exhaust and Performance centre are joined us here this weekend too and so did Redback Ehxaust.”
“We really needed the extra support to help us make it to the racetrack. This win is a great way of saying thanks,” He concluded.
After qualifying third out of nine cars with a 4.66 second blast down the quarter mile, Morgan charged to the final eliminating fellow ANDRA Top Fuel pilots Luke Shepherd and Martin Stamatis. His win in the final round came against Allan Dobson - a former event winner, and one of several cars who ran comfortably into the 4-second zone.
