The bad thing is that those "turds" probably think they are freakin Bob Glidden. Maybe Bob should get one of these and show them how they are suppossed to run. 8.60's anyone?

3rd round is scheduled for 7:30 AM Sunday......

We won't be there.....

Lost in the 2nd round which was run at about 10 PM last night...

Said good-bye to some good friends and poured a few down....

Great track, good racing and be back next year to race for CLASS.....with all of our cars......I hope

Bob

If anybody is still at vegas I am curious if something is true. Did larry Morgan take his engine back from Ricky Jones before he ran him in the final? Anybody there heard anything?

M Lefkes · 11-01-2009, 08:04 PM

That is what is reported on DRC.

Ed Fernandez · 11-01-2009, 08:11 PM

I like Larry.But if he did I think his popularity will suffer.That's pretty cold.I would hope if he gave me a kidney he wouldn't want it back if I raced him in a final.

This is from NHRA.com

Sunday
Results for Final Round
LAS VEGAS - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 4 eliminations in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, Ninth annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals:

W/L Driver R-Time E-Time Speed
(W) Larry Morgan (Lucas Oil Stratus) 0.012 6.720 205.69
(L) Rickie Jones (Quarter-Max/RJ Stratus) 0.041 6.794 203.16

Jones is 2 - 1 against Morgan in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. the news from the pits is the Jones was running Morgan power to get to the finals, and after the semifinal Morgan went by the Jones pit and got his powerplant back. Jones put in one of his engines. Morgan with the starting line advantage and take s the win light. Morgan with his first win since Sonoma 2002. This is Morgan's tenth National event win.

Sounds pretty low to me... Just my $0.02 worth.....

Jim Wahl · 11-01-2009, 08:30 PM

It does appear that Jones' performance was off about .08 and 2 mph in the final from all his previous runs. It could be in their contract. Better than a .145 red light tank job by Humphry. Just my opinion, at least they ran for it! Jim

It would not surprise me if this story turns out to be true.

Morgan stiffed me for a lousy $875.00. His driver backed into my car with their semi at the Gators. Chris, the nhra staff member responsible for the event, came over and surveyed the damage to my car and told me to get an estimate and then he told Morgan's driver (Paul) to get the money right.

I got a close estimate (over the phone) from the shop that painted my car and took it to Morgan. Morgan left planet earth when I gave him my info and the cost of fixing my car. He said we ain't paying you a f--king dime. Then he said sh-t, I can have my whole f--king car painted for that much f--king money. I told him what I thought of his low bred a--. And took the info over to Chris, the nhra guy. He couldn't believe it. Chris said he would make Morgan pay up. He never did.

If all this is true, I, for one, am GLAD he'll be trying to win for Ford, next year...

Might be 7 MORE years before he wins another one.
