Morgan’s personal racing experience hasn’t proven fruitful but his clientele are more than making up for any perceived slackness. In simple terms, Morgan’s engines are running to the front of the class – even though he’s experienced some tough times thus far in his own cars.

Morgan points out he’s testing for the future with new combinations which will bring his personal program to the forefront and this data will be used to improve his customer’s efforts as well. The week before Gainesville, Morgan was in Valdosta testing two cars and eventually produced a 6.66 elapsed time in the heat of the day.

“We’ve been working on stuff with the car, the stuff I run is good too,” Morgan admitted. “I know it looks like a piece of %^&$, but we have just been trying to improve on what we’ve got. We just didn’t find that improvement and that’s the only reason we didn’t get in the first two races of the season.”

While the mid-6.6-second run might be impressive, Morgan admitted a measure of difficulty in determining where the performance measures up against the competition.

“Every team out here runs so close to the same, so it’s hard to say where we are at,” Morgan said.

The bottom line, Morgan says, the customer comes first – even if they all qualify and he DNQs every time.
“You have to always produce for the customers,” Morgan pointed out. ‘I can tell you this much, I would bring them to the track if they wouldn’t run. There’s no way you can stay in business that way.”

Morgan’s business principles are working just fine, even if his own efforts to qualifying are struggling.
