Dateline; Homestead Florida. Sunday, September 16, 2012
Jim Morgan, driving a seriously wore-out 1991 Swift DB6-jl, soundly defeated JR2 in the penultimate race leading up to the SARRC Invitational Championships. JR2 was driving his brand new 2012 Piper/Honda on fresh tires.
To rub salt in the wound, Morgan was using the tires JR2 had used up at the pro race at VIR over a year and a half ago. Jim said on the podium, in between swallows of bubbly, " I knew those fantastic 24 cycle Hoosiers would not let me down, they held air all last night." Morgan thanked his son Cole (2007 F2kCS Champion) for being stationed in Germany and not being around to bother him with gibberish of proper lines and braking points. While on the podium the elder statesman of Morgan Homes Racing thanked James Lee, Charles Finelli, and Robert Mondovi.
The battle for the 2012 SARRC Championship in Formula F will now play out it final chapter at the hallowed Roebling Road Raceway on October 7th.
Word from Lighthouse Point is that Morgan is attempting to secure the services of Chief Hubert Bearcat of the Seminole Nation. Morgan met Bearcat at the Seminole casino in Davie, and soon learned that Bearcat was world famous for divining rain through a series of spectacular raindances performed with girls from the YeeHaw Junction Hooters. Morgan is hoping with the help of Bearcat and hastily recruited girls from the Hooters next door to the Shell House in Savannah, he can produce 4 to 6 inches of rain on October 7th.
JR2 refused to be interviewed, walking away muttering something about Morgan having gotten his license at Costco on senior citizens night...
