NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series…..Division 2 Gainesville, FL Feb 25, 2007

     In an all Reher-Morrison final, it was a case of Barker vs Barker in a classic father vs son showdown for all the marbles in Top Sportsman. Perennial powerhouse and multi time champion of the tough Division 2 Top Sportsman wars, Jerry Barker waded through his side of the ladder to reach the money round, needing one more win to put another notch in his belt and claim another victory. The only thing standing in his way was his student and son, Jeffrey, who obviously had other ideas of who would be the last man standing. As they say, the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree. It was a case of the pupil giving the lesson to the teacher, as Jeffrey sawed the tree down at .017 along with a razor thin .002 over his 7.21 dial. Jerry’s excellent .039 reaction and .007 over his 6.94 dial would only earn him the best seat in the house to watch Jeffrey take the win light.

     Jerry had this to say, “It was a fantastic day for the Barker family. I want to thank David Reher and the team at Reher-Morrison for giving us two great engines. The power and consistency are remarkable. We were “dead on” all day.

Subject: Engine School

Mr. Reher,

 I wanted to let your know that the Morgan brothers represented your company very well.  The Engine school was extremely well done and the volume of information was so much more than anyone could hope to absorb.  Both myself and Russell Fields my crew chief agree that the only thing we ever need to remember from that school is 817-467-7171, because with that number any problem I could ever have with one of a our engines will be taken care of.  Brad was very eager to answer any question and he would not only verbalize the answer but demonstrate it on a real engine.  What can I say about Darin you don't already know, he made a comment about how much he works with engineers and how they teach him so much, I would bet allot of engineers walk away from the same  meeting saying how much Darin knows and how much they learned from him.  Just over 18 months ago I purchased my first engine from you, since then our group of racers that all let Russell Fields maintain our cars have bought 3 more engines.  After this weekend I know that number will only grow, we were fateful believers on Friday by Monday we had become evangelists for Reher & Morrison.  You build'm well race'm and both of us will always be winners. 

 Keep up the standards in the end all you have is your word, keep hiring great people like Brad and Darin, if they are typical of your company you are truly blessed.  Thanks for all the fun and get a 622 ready we will need it in about 3 months, tell Brad it will need to be special and tell Wes we still love him too.

Respectfully

TOP DRAGSTER NUMBER ONE QUALIFIER
NHRA DIVISION 4 RED RIVER RACEWAY
Mike Kile drove his Miller Race Cars dragster to the number 1 qualifying position in Top Dragster at the recently completed NHRA Division 4 race at Red River Raceway near Shreveport, LA. Mike ran a 6.85 @ 198mph in the hot and humid conditions. Mike’s choice for power is the awesome Reher-Morrison Super Series 665 cubic inch All Aluminum BBC, which makes a brute like  1,350 hp and over 1,000 ft lbs of torque, NORMALLY ASPIRATED!

Mike’s 2,000 lb dragster was number one in a field of more than 40 cars, some of which were supercharged or nitrous oxide injected. On race day, he even improved to a 6.82. Although he did not win the event, he has served notice to everyone that his next win will be soon!

Mr. Reher.
     I know you probably get a lot of junk E-mail but I was hoping you would take a few moments out of your busy day to read my story.
     I would like to first take this opportunity to thank you for the consistent and reliable engine your company supplied for my racing operation in 2006.  As Wes can tell you I ordered my second engine from your company, a 555” Super Series engine, on Monday, May 8 of this year.  As luck would be with me that week, you already had this engine in stock with dyno time.  I wished to upgrade to the aluminum pan so shipment was delayed until the following day.  I received the engine to my Indiana address on that same Friday.  In a rush to make the first “quick” race of the season, I installed my Ron’s Terminator and the car was running before bedtime.  To make a long story not quite so long, approximately 5 days after this engine was ordered it was in an NHRA winner’s circle.  In a 1920 pound dragster with driver, this engine unloaded in the high 4.60’s at over 146 MPH and was deadly consistent in the victory.
     The Reher-Morrison 555” Super Series went on to see six more wins in the 2006 season and the culmination was a clinching of the NHRA North Central Division Super Quick championship at Indy in early October.  If you were wondering the engine after 200 passes was still running high 4.60’s and the only maintenance required throughout the season was periodic oil changes and valve lash “checks”.  To attest to the reliability, two of the wins were in the same night at Bunker Hill Dragway.  That specific night, I won 13 straight rounds and took home both the Super Quick and Super Pro wins.
     I believe my story is a testament to the quality and reliability of Reher-Morrison Racing Engines.  From the timely shipment to the great performance all the way up to the great resale value at the end.  How could anyone go anywhere else for their engines?  I certainly won’t.  That being said, I have sold the 555” Super Series and my new 565” Hot Rod has already been delivered that will be installed in next year’s car.  I wanted a few custom additions to this engine but it still was built and shipped in less than one week, imagine that.
     I highly recommend Reher-Morrison to all of my customers and will use your engines for many years to come, without a doubt.  The 565” Hot Rod was actually the third engine purchased in the last 10 months.  The two previous were both sold to my Ron’s customers and they are quite pleased to this day.  I have attached a couple photos of the 2005 car and if I haven’t wore out my welcome please take a few more moments and visit my website www.killerRONS.COM.

     Thanks again!

Dear David,

My brother in-law Dana MacLeod driver/owner of TS302 and the crew at fastechracing.com want to share our success with you and your team of professionals at RMRE. On September 8, 2006 we attended the IHRA North American Nationals at Epping, our home track and with a string of 6.80’s took the WIN! This wouldn’t have been possible without the consistent, reliable, raw horse-power that our Reher-Morrison/SpeedTech 572 produces. As the crew chief of a Top Sportsman car it’s an unbelievable feeling to know that whatever I dialed the car would run on the money. During the 6 rounds leading up to the finals we were always the quicker and faster car so leaving last was never a worry for Dana because he knew we had the bullet to run down the competition and the final round was no exception 6.89 @ 205.22.

David, I can’t say enough good things about our Reher-Morrison/SpeedTech 572 engine program. You and your staff have always taken a personal interest when I’ve called with questions and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Brandon Switzer from SpeedTech Nitrous who’s put together a winning nitrous solution. Contrary to most people’s belief you can have a reliable, consistent nitrous assisted engine program with deadly results. You once told me that everyone wants too build a better “mouse trap” and I haven’t seen another 572 like ours that’s qualified every race this year in the top 10 against 700 plus inch engines.

Thanks for a great engine and we’ll see you in the off season.

Yours truly,

Barry D. Cocuzzo

To Mr. Don Cooper

     09-06-06
     Our season in Finland was completed in Alastaro Dragway last weekend.  I managed to take national title again.  It was second in a row and fourth with your 565 Big Chief engine.  I am very satisfied with it.  I have been using it for seven seasons now.  We have one more race in Malmö Sweden.  It is a final race for NDRS series.  At this moment I am in second place for Nordic Championship.
 
     09-22-06
     I managed to take NDRS championship also.  I met the points leader in round one and went all the way.
Winning the final in Sweden was something else...

Mark, Wes & Dave,

    This letter is long overdue.This is the second engine I've purchased from you within a year and I just can't say enough about the performance of your motors! I recently purchased a 565 hot rod motor and it is more than I expected. The engine performs flawlessly. My wife and I have run this motor in bad air, 90 degree temperatures, and an altitude of 3,300 feet running consistent 7.20's at 185.

    I would like to thank Dave Reher for employing the finest staff members. Mark in sales is a pleasure to deal with ! He really goes above and beyond his duties by following up with phone calls to check on how I'm doing. When I was looking to build my first engine, I spoke to Mark and told him exactly what I wanted to accomplish. He told me EXACTLY what I needed and that's why I'm back again. It was everything I had hoped for--and more! I'd like to thank Wes for helping me tune the injection on my car. He always has me going in the right direction. And to Sean for building such an outstanding engine!! It's great to deal with a company that sells you just what you need and not all the little extras. What they promise, they deliver!

    These are not your ordinary engine builders. They take time with you, work with you, and help you in any way they can. Feel confident when buying from Reher-Morrison--I know I do!!

To all the folks at Reher and Morrison,

Thanks for the straight talk and good advice I received as a NEW customer. I had to put a new motor together on short notice and Wes was especially helpful in guiding me towards the HR 565 short block.? In only two weeks I was doing the assembly. I couldn't help but notice the impeccable machine work and meticulous detail given to all the top notch components.?

We went to the NHRA track at Route 66 in Joliet on July 23, 2006, and won the event first time out! My 95 Grand Prix (2350 lbs.) with Dart 355 CNC heads ran 8.15, 166 mph, 1.12 60ft. on the first pass. The power and ability to rev quicker than my old 565 was obvious.?
My full pass time slips didn't vary more than .02 all day, and I carry that much anyway.? I had 3 .00 reactions in the process. Now that's fun racing!

Just thought I would send a picture with the big smiles. My Nephew and Crew Chief Anthony (to my left) knows where to buy his first motor!
Thanks Again

Wes Henington
Reher-Morrison Racing Engines

Wes,
     Just a few words of thanks from a very satisfied customer.
In January 2006, I purchased a Super Series 572 with the Raptor heads (unassembled) from carb to pan. My husband assembled the engine, which enabled me to save a few dollars, and allowed me to purchase the engine within my budget.
     To say the least, I’m more than satisfied with its performance. So far, the best ET is 7.05 at 191.35 in my Dan Page 1860lb. 4-link dragster. Recently, in very hot air, it still hauled the mail with a 7.10 at 190. I’m impressed and so are my fellow racers.
     From the first phone call to you and later to Darin Morgan, I was not rushed off the phone but was treated with professionalism and courtesy. Some questions came up after the sale, during the assembly, and again all calls were answered immediately.
     Since the initial start-up in the garage to the first race I’ve never had one problem. It started right up at the first hit of the ignition. Thirty-five runs later, the valve lash is still perfect and the valve springs are maintaining pressure. Everything that R&M promised was delivered. I love it when I get what I ordered!
     I know many customers buy their Reher-Morrison engine completely assembled but I’m very glad I chose to purchase it unassembled. Given the opportunity to examine each component and all the intricate machining, you truly get to appreciate the expert workmanship and quality that makes these engines run so fast. After seeing the bare block and components, I truly felt I got what I paid for and more.
     I also would like to suggest to any future customers contemplating purchasing a Reher-Morrison engine, listen to what they recommend. They really have the knowledge! You cannot put a value on Research and Development!
     Please communicate this note to everyone in the shop and office that never receive the thanks they so deserve for all their hard work and contributions to an awesome and quality product!
     Thank you,
Debby DiGenova (Top Dragster 1410)

     In an amazing display of consistency and driving prowess, Ed Stuart became the Top Sportsman champion at the recently completed NHRA  Jeg’s Sportsnationals at No Problem Raceway. It was an all Reher-Morrison Racing Engines final as Ed produced a stellar .013 light to defeat fellow Floridian Dan Morrow. Earlier this season, at No Problem Raceway, Belle Rose, La., Ed  won the Reher-Morrison Top Sportsman class in the NHRA divisional event. If you are counting, “that is 10 round wins in a row at the same track!” Congratulations Ed!!

7.006 @ 196 Mph!

March 25, 2006 Memphis TN.
NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Race Series

     Doing it in style, Sean Dodd qualified Number one in Competition eliminator while establishing the new world record in B/AA……7.006 @ 196mph. This mark shattered the previous record of 7.14 @ 191. Sean’s combination for this dominant performance came from his new 1340hp—810tq 500ci  Reher-Morrison Pro Stock style engine in a Jerry Haas built Chevy Cobalt, with an A1 converter. The goal now is to be the first B/AA into the sixes! As a relatively new comer to the world of Comp, Sean had this to say, “I can’t say enough about all of the people at Reher-Morrison. They not only gave me a lot of power, but they showed me what to do. David must have spent about three hours with me under the car showing me how to set it up and what things to watch for. He’s been fantastic. And I really would like to give a special thanks to Brad Morgan of RM for his help not only at their shop, but while we were in Memphis. I am really looking forward to the rest of the season.”

Hi David and Bruce
     I attended  the IHRA divisional race April 8 and 9 in Lufkin TX. Although I had a bad race on Saturday with a red light loss in round one.  I got it all together on Sunday and won Top Dragster after qualifying with a 7.25 @ 184.80! Other racers just stare at the engine in disbelief when they see the conventional style heads and also learn that it’s only a 565. Of the five round race, all of my opponents had Big Chief style spread port heads. Believe or not, I had to spot everyone except one which was a heads up race! The track went away significantly towards the end of the day and the car was rattling the tires pretty hard. Under these conditions, it definitely makes it easier when you are leaving last with a quicker car in order to hold a couple of hundredths as far as the “dial in” goes to make sure you can run the number. It is much easier to roll up on them (at 185mph) and judge the finish line versus having to turn around to find your opponent. Thanks for a great motor!

Wes,
I had to write you and tell you that the 412 Super Series you helped me pick does exactly what you said it would.  The car runs a 6.00 in the 1/8 every time, the little motor runs perfect and we have yet to do anything to it.  I keep checking the valves ready to do my first adjustment, not yet.  The 412 was the perfect engine to start with, looking to upgrade next year and yes it will be a Reher & Morrison, my car would reject anything else.  We looked at a lot of engine builders, your professionalism and knowledge sold me, the tour of the shop was just icing on the cake.  I wanted a reliable bracket engine to run this year without any problems, that's what I got.  Now I can learn how to drive without wrenching on the motor all the time.

Here is a picture, 1993 Grand AM, (everyone thinks it's a big block, they look very surprised when they see it's not) at HMP down in Houston.

Good Morning Don, I got your email address from the website because I did not see one for Wes.  I would appreciate it if you would forward this email to him as well as Post it for the employees to see.  This email is in regard to show attention to the
service I received from Reher-Morrison.
 
I made several phone calls to Reher-Morrison speaking to Wes and asking him different ways to go with my racing program.  Wes gave me DIRECT advise and spoke to me frankly.  I knew from talking to him after several minutes that this guy was as genuine as they come.  I felt like I could trust him and after a short amount of time I was mailing in my 12 grand for my 509! 
 
I made arrangements to pick the engine up and I arrived on time as I promised.  Wes and the employees of Reher-Morrison were waiting for me.  My engine was at the rear door, my paper work was in order and in a matter of minutes I had my engine loaded in my truck.  Now, the guys that loaded my engine took extra time and attention not to damage the motor or my truck. 
 
I then was given a grand tour through the facility and to say the least I was extremely impressed at the way the company was being run so smoothly.  The work areas were very clean and well organized.  This just reinforced the choice in Reher-Morrison I had had made!
 
As I shook Wes's hand to pay my sincere appreciation for his hard work he gave me a couple Reher-Morrison shirts which as you will see in the picture that I wear proudly. 
This may be a small token of appreciation for some but it meant a ton to me!
 
I hope that someone will pass this note to Wes and the other employees of Reher-Morrison to know that there are people out here that appreciate the hard work you do.  Like I told Wes, I am 100% sure you guys deal with some real "nuts" all day.  As a matter of fact, I heard the constant phone calls coming in and I thought "Man, how can these guys stay so calm?"  Now I wonder how I was able to telephone Wes and his attitude be so courteous and his answers so informative.  What a professional guy he is!
 
I got the engine to the shop and it was in in several hours.  After everything was checked twice over it was time to throw some fuel and spark to her.  BAM!, she fired up without hesitation.  We let her heat up a little and cracked the throttle a time or two.  This is when we had a little breakage!,........Yep, the building shook and with the exhaust it blew two large framed pictures off the wall and broke them into pieces!  It was okay, we all just grinned! 
 
The entire Crew of Reher-Morrison from Wes, to the engine builders, to the young man that loaded my engine I just wanted to say thank you!  You guys are an asset to Reher-Morrison and should be commended on the quality of work you perform!     
 
Sincerely,
 
Rodney Glendening

Dear David,                                                                              January. 3.2006

 We have one of your 565 Super Series Engines in our FOXWOODS RESORT/CASINO 2003 Jerry Haas built Pontiac Grand AM.  I just wanted to write to let you know how happy we've been with one of your engines.  On our very first pass we ran a 7.69 @ 179.70.

 I recently shipped the engine back to you for a freshening up.  It was still running excellent but with nearly 130 runs on it I figured we should check it out.  We ran a best of 7.62 @ 180.00 with only a 7200 shift chip.  During the time that we've run this engine, we seldom had to adjust the valves when we checked them.

 I met your employee Mickey Ansley back in 1994 when I attended Roy Hill's Drag Racing School.  He was a big part of me earning my Pro Stock License. When I heard he was working for REHER-MORRISON I called him and purchased the engine.  I want to Thank Mickey and Everyone at REHER-MORRISON for a great product.
Thanks Again,

Hi! Don,

I bought a 555 short block and then I purchased the top end combo later in 2003. I also purchased a converter to fit my TH400. The Chevelle is an all steel body with full interior.  I am running in a street class with 10.5" tires in Denmark. The Chevelle is a heavy 3800 pounds with a best ET of 5.82 in the 1/8 mile. It's a single 4 barrel engine and I run a NOS Big Shot of about 150 HP.
Thanks!

Hi Darin,
I have a 406 that you built last fall. Larry Eidson sold the motor to Mark Ellis and he and I traded. The 406 has 260 runs on it all but 9 were 1/8 mile in a dragster. We have ran Mobil 1 in it and changed it every 20-30 runs. The oil had a lot of silver in it the first few times and now has very little if any. I run a quart of Lucas with the oil and the oil looks pretty good with a little stuck on the drain magnet. I run the valves every other weekend about 15 runs and they have been fine. The thing is running better all the time and I was wondering what if anything I needed to look at this winter. Best run to date was 5.14 at 132 at Wichita Falls it ran 8.23 at 163 at Ennis at the Bracket finals. This is in a 1600 lb dragster, driver included.  I took a 427 BBC out and since then run half a second faster in the 1/8.  I have been to the finals 8 out of 9 trips to the track. When people ask me how,  I blame the motor.  I used to think that the price of your motors was too high, but my next motor WILL be a Reher-Morrison even if I have to borrow the money. Thanks for building such a good piece of equipment. Let me know what I need to look at this winter. Thanks!

Good morning all,
Another exiting racing season has ended.
Going into the last divisional race this past weekend in Las Vegas there
were a couple of drivers that had a mathematical chance of knocking us out
of the NHRA Division 3 Super Comp points lead. They were unsuccessful.
I am pleased to report that we are now back to back Division 3 Super Comp
Champions.
In Super Gas with our Corvette we finished ninth in Division 3 and scored a
Best Appearing award at the Route 66 Nationals.

Thanks to all of you who have helped support our program. Your company and
products are an integral part of a winning formula.

Dear David,

 After winning seven Divisional Top Sportsman events in the last three years, and now winning the NHRA Southeast Division 2 Top Sportsman Championship for 2005, I thought it was time to thank you and your staff again for the quality Racing Engines that you build. There is not a better engine to run fast and consistent than your 622.  I always qualify in the top half of the field, and most times in the top eight.

 The best features of your engines are that they are powerful, reliable, and consistent. Other than normal maintenance, oil and filter changes and checking the valves, there’s nothing to do but race them. We currently are running two of your 622’s, one of which has in excess of 250 passes and we have never broken not even one valve spring on it!

 This past weekend, I had the pleasure of running my new Reher-Morrison Racing Engines 747 that you developed for me this year. In my new RJ Race Cars ’06 Cobalt, the 747 went 6.956 @ 199.55 in 2,000 ft. air! And that was with a powerglide transmission. I am thoroughly pleased again with you and your staff especially Mickey, Mark, Wes and Bobby. The individual technical support if needed is a great benefit that your company offers.

 I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a reliable, consistent, predictable, low maintenance and above all, “fast” race engine to call Reher-Morrison Racing Engines.

Thank You

I wanted to let you all know how happy I am with my 555 super series engine I purchased last winter. It performed beyond my expectations in power, reliability and consistency. I think I had to open my tool box one time at the track this year and it had nothing to do with the engine! I was able to win a couple of bracket races this year in top eliminator/super pro. I also took home some money in 2 quick 8 door car races this year. Wes has been a pleasure to talk to and his knowledge in drag racing has kept me on the right track. Thank you for sharing your research and development with me for such a reasonable price. Here is a photo of our 2000 Mayfield Camaro.

Attention: Johnnie

I probably made the most common mistake a racer makes when it comes to building big horsepower in Super Class Racing, thinking I could save money by buying a part here and one there.  When I was done I had an expensive motor that did not perform to my expectations.  I contacted Wes at Reher-Morrison and purchased a 14º Big Chief conversion kit at the end of 2002.  Wes gave me all the information and specs for assembling the motor.  It performs beyond my wildest dreams.  In Division 7 in Super Comp my MPH is in the top 1%.  It worked so well, my brother purchased the same conversion kit and I will be getting together with Wes for an engine for my son’s car.

We started drag boat racing in 1994 with SDBA, Southern Drag Boat Association and IHBA, International Drag Boat Association.  We contacted Reher-Morrison in 1999 after having numerous engine failures due to another engine builder.  We spoke to Darin Morgan and he felt he could fix our problems.  He gave us a quote and time frame, and they lived up to both.  Since that time all our engine modifications, assemblies and questions are directed to Reher-Morrison Racing Engines and Performance Parts.  The engines are completed in a Timely Manner and with Top Quality Workmanship.  The reliability of Reher-Morrison's engines has saved us a considerable amount of money, stress and time and has allowed us to set numerous new ET records.

Re: David, Bruce, Mickey & all the guys at Reher-Morrison

As I sit here in my motorhome with a customer having a drink this evening and looking out through the pits at all the guys working on their race cars, It really makes me appreciate the great motors you guys put out.  70 passes on this motor this year and not one time have I had to set a valve or change a valve spring.  How could a sportsman ask for anything more!!!

Per request of David Bunn, I am enclosing a composite shot of David’s Chevelle that I shot at Piedmont Dragway recently.  On this run, with no adjustment of shocks, the car went into a bumper-dragging wheel stand.  Fortunately, with no damage.

The best shot of the day ended up being a 5.89 @ 119 MPH, based on 3400 lbs weight, 1.29 60’ time and altitude adjustment at 3400ft.  This was achieved with an old set of Hooker Super Comp 2” headers.  New ones are not finished.  He also achieved this with no trans brake.

We look forward to our next race, a combination Big Dog and Quick 8 Pro Mod at Piedmont at the end of June.

Many thanks!

David,

I would like to thank you, Wes and Johnny for all the R-M horsepower.  My 522 Super Series motor installed in my 72 Vega has produced an E.T. best of 8.82 @153.77 mph w/60' times of 1.27.  Not bad for a back halfed car with stock front Vega suspension.  The beauty of the Super Series motors are reliable, consistency and low maintenance.  Between rounds, I let the water pump and electric fan run for 5-6 minutes, check the fuel and I am ready for the next round.  Thanks again, this is the way to race, go fast and have fun.

Dear David,

Just wanted to drop you a note to inform you of the recent success with my Super Gas car at Indy, due in large part to the RM 565 Big Chief motor and David Tatum's driving skills.  As a city boy with a desk job who can not get to the track nearly as much as he would like, I could not have made a better choice than Reher-Morrison for a motor when I decided to 'go racin'  after a twenty year break.  The motor has been consistently powerful and dependable pass after pass.  Technical help from Wes and Mickey has also been helpful.  

Thanks again for a quality product. 

Sincerely,

David L. Watson

Wes,

I have enclosed photos of my car and time slips from my first 2 weekends out. As you can see, my new Reher-Morrison 555 has performed quite well. When I ordered my motor, you stated that it should run in the 7.40's and maybe the 7.30's.

My first run was on the opening weekend at Woodburn Dragstrip and the track was less than ideal. The car spun the tires and I had to pedal it. It ran 7.521 at 179.64. On the second attempt we lowered the pressure and tried the right lane. The car hooked up and ran 7.324 at 181.30. The next run was 7.323 at 181.78.

The car is very consistent. In my first 7 full passes, my ET's have been from 7.31 to 7.35.

I have been launching the car at 4200 RPM and shifting at 6800. There are obviously lower ET's in my future.

Thank you for all your help with choosing the right converter and other components to make my car faster than I expected.

Dear Wes and John,

I just wanted to take the time and thank you for your time and advice during the year. I cannot express into words how pleased I am with my 555 engine. The 555 has been very low maintenance, and at the same time, added so much mor power and consistency to our super gas racing operation. In super gas trim, the vehicle has been able to obtain nearly 166 miles per hour sea level and 158+ miles per hour in high dester altitude (Palmdale.) I cannot stress how many people have been impressed with the numbers our car has and will continue to put on a time slip. So, in closing, I once again wanted to thank you both. I look forward to doing business in the future.

Thanks,

Dear David,

I wanted to inform you of how pleased we are with our Reher Morrison engine.  We won the Inaugural Division 4 Top Sportsman Race at Houston Raceway Park with our Reher Morrison 565 cubic inch hotrod motor.

The motor performed flawlessly and consistently ran the numbers that you said it would.  In the final round we ran 7.651 at 175.11 mph on a dial in of 7.65.

Thanks for providing the performance that you advertise.

Dear Wes,

Just a quick note of thanks for the tech support with my 522 engine.  The unit is running well.  I only wish I had the funds to step up to the Super Chief.  We have a fast program at Bandimere but it takes a real low 8.0 or high 7.0 to get in.  So far the car has run an 8.60 at 154 MPH with a corrected altitude of 7,000 feet.  I have to tell you it's so nice to have such a low maintenance motor.  I have a hammock that I am putting in my trailer.  Now THAT'S neat!!

Dear David,

My compliments to Darrin Morgan and your entire Cylinder Head Department for designing and constructing the Raptor 12 degree heads.  Your advertisement, "Looking to take the Big Block Chevrolet to extreem power levels" could not have been more true.  During a "Frantic" mid season freshen, Darrin's knowledge and professionalism not only limited our down time, but has resulted in high 6 second, "motor only" passes from our Top Sportsman Firebird.  That's almost 3 tenths faster than our 14 degree Big Chief's and we're still a little fat.

Most of our recent success in NHRA Top Sportsman is due to the performance levels gained by installing the Raptor cylinder heads.  Qualifying #2 at the last 3 NHRA Division 3 events helped pave the way to a #8 finish in our first year of Top Sportsman.  Had we not missed 2 of the 7 divisional events, we may have placed significantly higher.

I can not be more pleased with the performance levels the Raptor heads have given our racing operation and would highly recommend them.

Thanks for a great product.

Sincerely,

Mike Personett

We would like to say how much we appreciate the products and knowledge that we receive from Reher-Morrison. Especially the performance and reliability of the Super 509 we purchased from Reher-Morrison. The engine has exceeded all our expectations for power, reliability and consistency. With the help of this engine we captured the 2003 Jegs All Star Super Street Championship and the 2003 NHRA Lucas oil Division IV Super Street Championship. We really put this engine to the test. We run 8 Division races, 4 National races and countless bracket races.

To: David Reher, Mickey, Darin, Brad
Subject: Thanks for Everything!!!!

     I am writing to you for two reasons. The first is to thank the Reher-Morrison organization for beginning a race school, and secondly, is to inform anyone who has the opportunity to attend one of these classes to do so. They will not be sorry. Their love of racing becomes obvious as soon as class begins. Their energetic personality and personal experiences will hold your attention for hours. The knowledge of all personnel was overwhelming thus greatly appreciated. Being able to "get answers" for questions that have been in your mind for some time was beneficial. I learned more in the first hour than I learned in entire seminars/programs that I previously attended. 

     Working with Darin on finding out what makes cylinder heads flow best, how to make the most horsepower and torque for any combination was essential. The environment at the Reher-Morrison facility is one goal and one goal only, to make that engine succeed and produce a winner! Every student will walk away from the Reher-Morrison school with a better understanding of their own abilities realizing the quality of training provided by this organization. This school is nothing like I expected. By far more exciting than I have ever experienced. This is a lifetime experience that everyone should be able to be a part of. The Reher-Morrison entire organization is very dedicated to helping students succeed! 

     The race school provides a professional and focused team of instructors. This organization shares their knowledge and experience openly to anyone who attends the class. They will answer all questions honestly and are willing to help all racers, even those they will be racing against!!. If you ever have the chance to attend this school, I guarantee it will help improve your outlook on racing and it will be an experience you will never forget.

Thanks again

Dear Reher-Morrison (David),

I'm writing to tell you how happy I am with my new Reher-Morrison motor.  I raced it for the first time on July 20,2001 and it performed better than I ever imagined it would.  I was told that it would run anywhere from 5.05 to 5.19 and it ran a 5.14 on the first run and a 5.11 on my second pass.  I would like to especially thank the guys back in the shop for building me such a great motor.  I can't tell you how very happy I am with the motor.  Thank you again, and I will be doing business with Reher-Morrison again soon.

My brother Glen and I would very much like to thank you in person at Maple Grove in September.

Hi Don,

My father recently purchased a Super Chief 565 from you for our 2000 Camaro Super Gas Car.  The car was built by Dan Page Race Cars, weighs 2480 lbs., has a 4.10 rear gear, a 1.76 Powerglide and 17 x 33 rear tires.

We've only been to the track three times so far thanks to a winter unfavorable to racers here in the Northeast.

Our first outing was at the NHRA National Open.  We qualified #5 in Super Gas with a 9.905 @ 167 Miles per hour (Top Speed of the Event). We were able to run the car flat out for one pass which was a 7.95 @ 171.06 with a 1.145 60' and 5.12 @ 137 in the 1/8th.

At the IHRA National event in Virginia, we set top speed again with a 165 mile per hour qualifying lap.  Unfortunately, a .399 red light second round ended our weekend early.

Last weekend we were able to test at New England Dragway in New Hampshire.  Having swapped converters to take advantage of our new horsepower, the car ran 7.821 @ 175.09 with a 1.144 60'.  We then put the car on the throttle stop and ran 9.901 @ 168 Miles Per Hour!

Thanks for the new power!  It was very nice to be able to put the new engine in the car with no worries.  Look for us in the winner's circle soon!

Thanks

UPDATE:  July 9, 2001

Well, things are going better since the last update as we now have three wins with our 2000 Camaro with the 565 Super Chief Reher-Morrison power.

The first win (and our first with the car) came in front of a packed house at New England Dragway as we beat up on all the dragsters with our 2000 Camaro and took the Dan Page Race Cars Quick Rod (8.90) Series win.  Not only did we win, but we chased every dragster we ran against.  It's great seeing a doorcar run 8.90 @ 170 Miles Per Hour.

The second win of the season came at the NHRA Atco Raceway National Open in Super Gas.  Ray stormed through 6 tough rounds of competition to take his first ever Super Gas win.  That win put him in 3rd place in the Division 1 National Open points standings.  Not too bad, considering he didn't attend the first race.

Last weekend at the Division 1 Federal Mogul Drag Racing Series event held at Lebanon Valley Dragway, Ray fought off the competition for 7 tough rounds and walked away with the Super Gas win and his first every "Wally!"  We were the fastest Super Gas car on the property, running 9.90 at 166 Miles per hour at a track that has a physical elevation of 1100 feet and a density altitude of an additional 2000 feet.

Thanks again for the dependable power that has put us in the winner's circle.

Later!

Dear David,

I am sure you hear all the bad experiences that drag racers have during the course of a racing season.  This letter is to thank you and your great staff at RMRE for the fantastic engines and advice that you are so willing to provide low budget racers as well as professional teams.  When I installed your "Super Chief 565" in my '96 firebird I anticipated to run 7.70 or close to that.  My pocket calculator said that at 2280 pounds and 1000 horsepower 7.70 would be the best I could do.  I have enclosed my time tickets from Virginia Motorsports Park and must say I was pleasantly surprised to run two 7.51's, one 7.49 and a best of 7.476.  The 1.059 sixty foot time was not too shabby either, considering the use of a powerglide and a 4.30 rear axle ratio.  My best calculations say that your "Super Chief 565" is putting 1100 horsepower to the rear wheels when you only advertise 1000 horsepower at the flywheel.  I would like to thank Bruce Allen for all his help and advice when I know he is a busy man but will still take time to return phone calls to Richmond Va. and help in any way he can.  My car number is 50 and I ran the right lane each time.  Again thanks for your professional approach to drag racers whether veteran or beginner.

Sincerely,

Roger C. Smith

I am the very proud owner of 2 of your Super Series 555 engines for my cars.  I couldn't be happier with the outstanding quality of the engines, your excellent customer support and everyone at Reher-Morrison's desire to be the best.  I am looking forward to even more success this season with your engines as the backbone of our team.  Keep up the GREAT WORK!  Special Thanks to Wes for always being extremely helpful and a jot to work with.
