ELIJAH MORTON CAPTURES DARLINGTON
WINTERNATIONALS WIN WITH SOLID STRING OF
6.4's IN ALL NEW "SILVER BULLET" COBRA
DARLINGTON, SC -
Elijah Morton of Jacksonville, NC took home
the win this past weekend at Darlington
International Dragway's 31st annual
WinterNationals! This race was set up for
Pro Testing on Thursday, Friday & Saturday
followed by eliminations on Sunday. Elijah,
owner of Morton Trucking, used the entire
weekend to test out the all new Ford Mustang
Cobra built by Jerry Haas and powered by Jon
Kaase Racing Engines.
As many know by now, Jeff Dobbins has parted
ways with Morton MotorSports currently
planning on crew chiefing with John
Montecalvo for the 2004 season.
The all new "Stang" crew chiefed by Gary
Henry laid down some very impressive passes
all weekend long. A 6.52 on Friday was just
the beginning as on Sunday they threw down
three back-to-back 6.4's!
One of the 6.4 sec. runs was actually
quicker than the national record but would
not stand due to the event not being a
sanctioned race.
The team will be testing again this weekend,
Feb. 26-28th at Rockingham Dragway's Pro
Test Fest.
