TERBOX PRESENTED BY 800-222-9092 www.MickeyThompsonTires.com NEW HORSE IN THE STABLE Longtime mountain motor Pro Stock wheelman Elijah Morton tears out of the water box in his new Allen-powered ‘18 Ford Mustang at the Brian Olson Memorial PDRA World Finals. Built by Larry Jeffers Race Cars over the summer, the Mustang made its debut at the mountain motor Pro Stock exhibition at the NHRA U.S. Nationals and was immediately put into service on the PDRA Extreme Pro Stock tour the following weekend. Since then, it’s proven to be a quick and consistent piece, carrying Morton to the No. 2 qualifying spot and a runner-up finish at the World Finals.
