Great Read: Tragic betrayal by America's first grand prix-winning superstar |
June 1994 | David Tremayne |
September 1924 brought an end to the life of one of America's greatest racing drivers, concluding a tangled tale of greatness, America's first Grand Prix victory, successes in the Indianapolis 500, and a feud concerning the Land Speed Record. The story of Tommy Milton and Jimmy Murphy is one of friendship gone awry and ultimate tragedy. They started out as friends. indeed, Jimmy Murphy was Tommy Milton's protégé. But as proof that there is nothing new under the racing sun, they fell out in a manner that predated the late Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost by nearly 65 years. An argument — more of a misunderstanding, it would transpire — that arose from running the Duesenberg Land Speed Record car was to fracture their alliance and set them against each other until the day that Jimmy Murphy perished on the boards of Syracuse. |
