Arizona Speed Engineering’s Pete Murray has spent 5 years racing a variety of machinery for VRS Racing on the mountain course of the Isle of Mann, including the Manx GP, and will bring his international experience to Barber Motorsport Park to test his skills against MotoAmerica’s top Twins Cup competitors. Pete has won Replica trophies, awarded to those finishing within 110% of the winners time, at each of the three Manx GP’s he has competed in. Pete Murray was one of only a handful of Americans to compete at the Isle of Mann in 2017 and 2018.

Pete Murray, no relation to RBoM Racing’s Curtis Murray, cut his teeth racing a Suzuki SV650 in west coast WERA regional races before pursuing his dream of racing in the historic Isle of Mann TT. Murray’s experience at the Isle of Mann has been primarily on Kawasaki machinery, but Murray should have no problem adapting quickly to his #183 RBoM Racing Suzuki SV650. Tracktime will be at a premium for Murray as he has a lot to learn having never seen Barber Motorsports Park before. Practice starts on Friday afternoon, qualifying takes place on Saturday and Sunday, and the final Twins Cup race of the 2019 season starts at 4:00pm on Sunday Sept. 22nd.
