Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock

[charlie westcott]

You guys keep talking about valve springs lasting 4 runs. Big deal.
We change our hemi springs in 10 runs.
So if I go to a race wint a new set on, and I qualify I change them.
Now to go through another set (4 more runs) I have to win.
I dont mind spending 600 to get 5K for qualifying
and another 600 to win 35K

The expenses in the class as I see it are
1) People/Overhead
2) Traveling
3) Parts

I dont have to spend 200k a year to get on the CFE program for heads
I can make my own camshafts, intakes, pistons, blocks, etc.

How much do you think Ogburn used to spend to race a hemi? Semi, uniforms, 10 people at a race etc.
My point is spending money wisely will get you a long way in life, and wasting money wont buy you a trophy.

Also people keep saying that the ford is not a good engine. They dont know what they are talking about. The heads are the same as the dodge, the block is the same except cam location is higher in the ford. The problem is (in my opinion) not the parts. The people that are running them now with little or no success, had the same results in the past with other brands. I am asking this as a question because I dont know, did Larry Morgan ever win with the Dodge? I thought I heard the last time he won a race was in 91 or something.
Anyways, its sunday morning, and I have to get back to work.
Thanks to all the people cheering for me. I wont let you down,
