Default Hi Guys!

Just wanted to introduce myself. Craig Morrison, and just happen to work for a guy by the name of Art Morrison My personal project is more of a hot rod: 1940 Ford with a 522 BBC / strut front / 4-link rear, running 10.70's at 125mph in the quarter.

The latest shop project that I worked on was more appropiate for this forum. The GT55 was a 55 Chevy that we built that averaged 0.94G on the skidpad and RU'd for SMOY this last year. It is a ball to drive

Current "shop" project is a 60 Vette with an all aluminum Mitchell 427" SBC, C5 front suspension and a tri 4-bar/9" rear. Our goal is to do the 3G's with this car, so stay tuned........

I figured I would sign up so I can answer any questions concerning our parts, or do my best to answer some suspension tech stuff. Great site! Look forward to "talking" with you guys.

Craig

RU'd for SMOY this last year
So do they tell everyone that get a "Top 5" how they placed? As in, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.?
