racing bug "never went away," he
explained. "I just had to put it on
the shelf for a while."
Does he get the same adrenaline
rush from racing that he did when
he was younger?
"Yes and no," Morton said. "It's
still an incredible thrill, but I've
matured a lot since '94. I'm a lot
calmer. Things are going a lot
smoother and I actually have better
vision of the track."
Unfortunately for Morton, his
improved vision didn't help him that
much. During his qualifying attempt
Aug. 6, he swerved to avoid a spin-
ning car and hit the wall. That acci-
dent, plus rain the next day, which
prevented him from improving his
qualifying time, put him at the back
of the 24-car field.
But in the race itself, "I had a
really good start," Morton recalled.
"I jumped ahead three-four spaces on
the start and I was working my way
up. Then I developed a front brake
problem... so I just decided to drive
a conservative race and finish."
However, another driver tried to
pass him on the inside of a turn,
and the cars, moving at nearly 90
miles an hour, touched wheels.
Morton's car veered into a wall,
ending his day.
"I had a lot of friends and a lot of
fans there and I just wanted to put
on a good show," Morton explained.
He said his sponsors — Sherwood
Metal Products, Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter and Informix — were
happy with the outing. "We're talk-
ing about doing the Grand Rapids
race" Aug. 29, he noted.
Morton would like to get his
sponsors to cover a full season of rac-
ing, which he'll again combine with
fund-raising. "I can get hooked up
with a hockey player in every city we
race in and use that to help raise
money for the McCarty
Foundation," he said.
"The McCarty Foundation has
allowed me to fulfill a childhood
promise I made to myself, 25 years
ago, that no one knew about. I
never said anything to anybody
because people have a tendency to
talk, and not do.
I consider myself a do-er." E

The Barber Dodge Pro Series
Race in which Morton compet-
ed will be broadcast 1:30 p.m.
Sunday, Aug. 22, on cable sta-
tion ESPN2.

Seeing your son lead the entire service at
Temple Shir Shalom on his Bar Mitzvah:

Priceless







Cur Religious School and Hebrew School are combined into a one-clay-a-week program.

We know that ever child's schedule is packed, that's why cramming in Hebrew school, daily school

and all the other things take away from our child's- learning and love of their faith.

Lvery child is guaranteed his or herown special Bark Mitzvah date. Iliere are no double I3ar/t Mitzvahs

at Ski,- Shalom. No one has to share a service. Through this, our children know

and .feel

they are special.

With open minds and open arms, we welcome people from all backgrounds into the Temple Shir Shalom family.

Single parents, intermarried couples, blended Families, converts to Judaism... we see promise and the potential for

understanding and change where others see problems. We do what we do to male memories...priceless.
