Track Record set by Murray Jones from Langley, B.C.
Another fantastic weekend for Murray Jones as he wins the 100 lap race at Agassiz Speedway. Murray’s Red/Yellow Hornet race car came into its own this year with a new track record

Murray stated;
“With NitroLube lubricants in my race car this year, it has freed up more of the engine’s horsepower. Also, the grease in the wheel bearings has reduced the friction in the chassis helping me set the track record and win two races so far. NitroLube has made the difference.”
NitroLube is proud to have such a dedicated and professional race car driver using our Lubricants. Congratulation to Murray and his crew.
