When it was decided they were to run against each other in the final, Jones took the motor out and put his own back in! Morgan said don't do it but Jones said he appreciated the loan of the motor and stated he never would have even qualified without Morgan's help. What an upstanding young man! Morgan is having RJ Race Cars build his cars for next year. See how things get turned around? Thanks NHRA for getting the right "scoop". Jim
Jeez,my kidneys are feeling a whole lot better now.
