After Pomona, Larry Morgan Not Looking Back
CORONA CALIFORNIA (Wednesday, November 4, 2009) - With his impressive win in Las Vegas Pro Stock veteran Larry Morgan has absolutely proven the worth of his venerable Dodge, a car that clearly appears capable of making someone else a winner. Morgan says, “When I make my last run at Pomona, whether it runs 6.40 or 6.90, I want to climb out at the other end, and never look back.”
Morgan picks up his new Mustang from RJ Race Cars in Galesburg Illinois this coming Thursday, (ironically built by Rickie Jones, whom he defeated in the final round at this past weekends race in Las Vegas) and will have his first engine together and running before the Finals in Pomona and will begin testing as soon as possible thereafter. "We've got all the parts and they are nice. Everyone talked about us copying the Hemi, but if we put the Hemi valve cover on we can't get the spark plugs in it. Its just not the same," said Morgan. Although some might suggest that Morgan will be a Ford man from that day forward, he is absolutely not closing the door on possibly supplying Hemi engines to rental customers.
“I’m just so excited that I’m going to run a Ford Mustang next year that I can’t hardly stand it. I have to do whatever it takes to survive, and at this point, because I don’t have enough money to do things properly, I have to do whatever it takes. If that means doing Hemi engines for people, I’ll do it."
