Vol 54 No 2 - Southern Clothing Market
Join Us As We Celebrate our 23rd Year at the Upcoming Spring 2013 Southern Clothing Market, which will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel on August 4th, 5th, 6th. We hope we will see you there. Vol. 54 No. 2 May 2012 Our Raffle for St. Jude Children’s Research The Spring 2013 Southern Clothing Market Hospital In February Was A Huge Success Will Be Held at the Embassy Suites Hotel When the decision was made to again hold a raffle to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, there was some concern as to how successful it would be. As most of you know, there is quite a bit of work involved in making plans for the event during the Southern Clothing Market. Dianne Norton goes a long way in making sure it is a success, because there are lots of preparations before the market and during the market, such as tickets, signs and prizes. All of the hard work that went into the plans was worth the effort because, we passed the goal that was established (which was $1,000.00). Thanks to everyone who bought tickets, and to the following who donated prizes for the raffle. The Embassy Suites Hotel donated four night stays, the Omaha Steakhouse gave four $75 certificates, the Men’s Apparel Club gave four $50.00 bills, Larry Holland donated four ride-alongs in his 70 Olds Dragster, and Justus Daniel donated four ride-alongs in his 51 Henry J Dragster. Tony Brown General Manager at the Mooresville Dragway donated his time and his staff to insure that the event at the dragway was successful and enjoyable. During the first drawing on Sunday evening, the following were winners. Ronnie Winfield (pictured above with Larry Holland) won a night stay at the Embassy, Sylvia Marks won a certificate to Omaha Steakhouse, Sam Evatt-Sam Evatt’s, Spartanburg, Join us for our show on August 4th, 5th, and 6th SC, won a ride-along (donated to Steve Mayer-Omaha Steakhouse), Joe Sugar-Joe Sugar’s, St. Paul, NC won a ride-along (donated to Kevin Plucker, Embassy Suites) and Jay Hurley-Trueman’s, Leesburg, FL, won a $50 bill. During the second drawing on Sunday evening, the following were winners. Melissa Paul - Yancey Parker’s Lifestyle, AL, won an Omaha Steakhouse certificate (pictured above, L-R; Lynda Carpenter, Addison and Melissa Paul, and Larry Holland), Jim Sweeney, (above) won a $50 bill, As we continue on page 5, the RaffSeSee “Raffle for St. Jude” (page 5) T he Spring 2013 Southern Clothing Market will be held August 4th, 5th and 6th at the Embassy Suites Hotel, located at 4800 S. Tryon Street at Woodlawn (Billy Graham Parkway) in Charlotte, North Carolina. From I-77, take exit 6B and you’ll see the Embassy Suites Hotel on the corner. We are proud that this is our 23rd year at the Embassy Suites Hotel. The Embassy associates always make an effort to be sure that we are treated with utmost respect and care. Last year when we were hit with the “flood” and the ceiling at the entrance fell, the staff jumped right in to make sure the market was not interrupted at all. It shows that they are a “Do Care” facility. Thanks to the Embassy for the great job that they do for us! Also, THANKS to Brick Waddell and Wilson O. Woods for having the foresight to found the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, Inc. seventytwo years ago. The MAC has become one of the greatest and best in the entire country. That is due to the fine leadership of the great people who have served on our Board of Directors over the years. The market opens on Saturday, August 4 th at 9:00 AM and closes at 6:00 PM. Don’t forget, for those retailers who would like to work later than 6:00 PM, the salesmen will be more than glad to accommodate you. The registration office (Suite 706) is open on Friday for the convenience of our retailers. Usually over one-half of the salesmen are working on Friday, so make your appointments to get an early start. There are a few who are working on Wednesday and Thursday. The Spring 2013 Market opens daily on Saturday, Sunday and Monday at 9:00 AM and closes at 6:00 PM. There is always a cocktail party, after the market closes, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Your favorite beverage awaits you, and there is food on Saturday and Sunday evenings. It’s a great time to get together with friends and enjoy the end of a long work day. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday we will be serving lunch in the atrium for our salesmen and retailers, from 12:00 Noon until 2:00 PM. Retailers, don’t forget to pick up your lunch tickets in Suite 706 when you register. Again, we ask for your cooperation in not bringing children under the age of twelve years of age.

With the economy starting to perk up, and the attitude that things are starting to get better, this show will be a great step in that direction. We look forward to seeing all our friends and be assured that there will be plenty of opportunities to buy goods for immediate delivery from most all the Vendors and of course the Holiday and Spring goods for your inspection. As always, I want to give a big “Thank You” to Larry Holland, the Executive Director of the MAC Club, and Dianne Norton, the Executive Assistant, for the hard work that they spend on making this market one of the top shows in the country. After 41 years in the apparel industry, I have retired from the business, and look forward to NOT spending those long hours in the car. The hardest part of making this decision, was not being able to see and spend time with all the many friends that I have been blessed to have made over my career. But having said that, the memories and the time spent with so many of you, I couldn’t have asked or dreamed of being in an industry that has been so very good to me. So I can now enjoy time at home and spending time with my family and fine tuning my golf game- which needs a lot of fine tuning. I will hopefully be spending time with grandchildren in the near future. We look forward to seeing you folks in August. Be safe and good selling!!

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, the former Jo Ann Bailey; by two daughters, Priscilla Claiborne and her husband Bob of The Woodlands, TX; by one son, James W. “Clay” Claiborne, Jr. and his wife Elaine of Charlotte; by seven grandchildren: Rachael Ross of Charlotte, Bonnie MacIntyre Skinner and her husband Bryan of Georgetown, KY, Travis Porter of Ft. Myers, FL, Bailey Porter of Orlando, FL, and McCrea, Carter and Davis Clairborne, all of Charlotte; and by one greatgranddaughter, Harper Elizabeth Skinner of Georgetown, KY. He is also survived by two siblings: Anne C. Overcash of Monroe, NC and Jack Claiborne and his wife Anne Marie of Charlotte. Born in Newell, NC, on October 13, 1932, he was the youngest of six children of Henry G. and Minnie H. Claiborne. Following his father’s death in 1936, his family moved to the Central High neighborhood in Charlotte. An open-faced, big-hearted kid with an infectious grin and engaging manner, he never met a stranger. He got the nickname “Slug” from Central High. He was president of his high school class and also served as president of the Central High student body. He won an academic scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In June of 1953 he married Jo Ann Bailey, his high school sweetheart. In 1955 he earned a degree in business administration and began three years’ service in the Air Force. In anticipation of his discharge, he was accepted for law school at UNCChapel Hill, but before he could enroll, his father-in-law, cafeteria operator W. W. Bailey, suffered a heart attack and sought Slug’s help in operating his cafeteria chain. In 1961, after his father-in-law’s recovery, he decided to open his own cafeteria, The Barclay, at Amity Gardens Shopping Center on Independence Boulevard. In 1970, he expanded into the upscale restaurant business with Slug’s Rib on Independence Boulevard; in the years that followed he opened more establishments in Charlotte, as well as Myrtle Beach, WinstonSalem, Chapel Hill and Litchfield Beach. His showplace was Slug’s 30th Edition on the top floor of the Jefferson-First Union Tower at College and Third Streets. He was a leader in the Charlotte and North Carolina Restaurant Associations, and in 1975 was selected as the NC Restaurateur of the Year. In addition to his restaurant business, Slug was a busy promoter of Charlotte and Charlotte-area athletics. Thousands of people counted “Slugger” as one of their friends His wife, Jo Ann was the love of his life and, until his last days, he told her many times every day how much he loved her and thanked her for their life together. At the end of his life he often proclaimed that he was “the luckiest man in the world.” A service to celebrate his life was held on Tuesday, March 6th at Sardis Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, memorials were asked to be made to Sardis Mission House, Sardis Presbyterian Church, 6100 Sardis Road, Charlotte, NC 28270, or Loaves and Fishes, P. O.

May 2012 Rags to Riches - www.macragstoriches.com “Because We Care” From Page 2 SAMUEL WALTER JONES, III (cont) Atlanta, GA and daughter, Emily Jones Thomason (Nick) all of Atlanta, GA; two grandsons, Samuel Wyker Jones and Ian Richardson Jones both of Decatur, AL; brotherin-law, John J. Davis (Rhonda) of Kennesaw, GA; several nieces and a nephew. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Stephen Allen “Yogi” Jones. Sam was born in Laurel, MS July 20, 1946 to Iva Lucille Herchenhahn Jones and Samuel Walter Jones, Jr. He grew up in Nashville, Tennessee and was an Eagle Scout. He was graduated from the University of Alabama in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Sam was a devoted member at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Snellville where he served on the Vestry, was Senior Warden of the Parish, and was a member of the Cursillo Community. Sam’s greatest joys in life were his family, church, automobiles, and race car driving. He will be remembered as a Southern Gentleman with a contagious zest for life and dynamic personality. Sam’s favorite Psalm was, “be still and know that I am God.” Sam Jones was a member of the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, Inc. for many years. Larry D. Holland, Executive Director (MAC) stated, “Sam was a diligent and hard working man, who was well liked by all who knew him. He was the type of member who you never heard from, unless it was of the utmost importance. He loved his family, and his son Davis had started working with him in the business. He will be greatly missed by his friends and retailers. We in the MAC office will miss his pleasant manner.” A Memorial Service celebrating the life of Mr. Jones was held on Wednesday, February 8, 2012, at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Snellville, GA 30078 with Fr. P. Douglas Coil, Rector officiating. In memory of Mr. Jones send or view condolences at www.wagesfuneralhome.com. JOHN G. LEWIS (Mar 13, 1923 - Feb 25, 2012) John G. Lewis, 81, of Davidson, NC, and Ocean Drive, SC, died on Friday, May 4, 2012, at the Levine & Dickson Hospice House. He was born on August 8, 1930, in Jacksonville, FL to the late Pearce and Margaret McLin Lewis. He served in both the U.S. Army and Navy and enjoyed a successful career as a manufacturer’s representative for Corbin, Ltd., Hickey-Freeman, and Bobby Jones men’s clothing. He was an avid golfer and dancer and was a member of The Shagger’s Hall of Fame as well as The Living Legends, organizations dedicated to the preservation of the shag, the South Carolina state dance. John is survived by his wife, Jan Lewis; sister, Margaret Ann Schwartzburg of Lawrence, KS; son, John G. Lewis, III, and wife Sharon of Raleigh; daughter, Cathy Sloan and husband Steve of Statesville; and son, Bert Ogburn and wife Jennifer of Mt. Pleasant, SC; niece Katie Strahan and husband Ward of Fairway, KS; six grandchildren, one greatgrandchild and one great-nephew. He is also survived by mother-inlaw, Nadine T. Atkinson; brotherin-law Steve Atkinson and wife Alicia, and niece Kathryn Atkinson. He was predeceased by his father-in-law, Maj. (ret.) Walter G. Atkinson, Jr., and his brother- in-law, Tripp Atkinson. John was a former member of the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, Inc. and attended the markets in Charlotte for a number of years. (He mostly exhibited during the Southern Clothing Market since his lines were clothing oriented). He was a genuine and likable person, with a humorous side to him. Larry D. Holland, Executive Director of the MAC stated, “Years ago when we first moved to the Embassy Suites, I played a joke on John, that makes me laugh even today. John was housed next door to our first show office (located in suite 236). I found out you could use the TV remote and operate the TV next door (through the window). John was working with a customer, with his back to the TV which was turned off. I eased out into the atrium and zapped his TV and it started working. After about a minute John turned around and turned off the TV. I gave him about 2 minutes and zapped the TV again and it blasted on and John turned around and got out of his chair and unplugged the TV. I later on told him of the joke and he said ‘I couldn’t understand the situation at all and thought maybe it was on a timer.’ We laughed and he called me a couple of expletives. If my memory serves me correctly, Andy Mayer had given me the tip about the proper use of a TV remote. Andy said he could shoot the remote straight across the atrium and shut off the TV in another suite. Jokes were common place in those days and members were more closely connected than today. Money was abound and life was more fun, it seems like. Folks today have to work harder and there isn’t much time for those fun times.” Funeral Services were private. In lieu of flowers, memorials were asked to be made to Levine & Dickson Hospice House, 10500 Vanstory Dr., Huntersville, NC 28078 or The Hall of Fame Foundation, P.O. Box 4070, N. Myrtle Beach, SC 29597. James Funeral Home, Huntersville, NC is serving the family. Page 3 DAVID MITCHELL STILL (Aug 10, 1946 - Mar 27, 2012) HELEN INGRAM TEMPLETON (Mar 13, 1923 - Feb 25, 2012) Mr. David Mitchell Still, 65, of Cornelius, NC died Tuesday, March 27, 2012, at his residence. Born August 10, 1946 in Albemarle, NC he was the son of the late Zebulon V. and Zena Pauline Hudson Still. Mr. Still was a veteran of the US Army and owner of Still & Company, LL (CPA). A memorial service was conducted on Friday, March 30, 2012, in the Chapel of RaymerKepner Funeral Home. A loving husband and father, he leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Carol Woodhouse Still; daughters, Christian Still and Kelly Still of Cornelius; sister, Rebecca S. Levine and husband Gary; two nephews and a niece. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his brother. In lieu of flowers, memorials were asked to be sent to the Maple brook School, Inc. (for special needs), 5142 Route 22, Amenia, NY 12501. Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Huntersville, NC assisted the family. Friends may offer condolences to the family at www.raymerfh.com David served as the CPA for the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, Inc. since the mid 1980’s. David and his wife Carol attended many MAC functions during his tenure as accountant for the MAC organization. MAC President, Gary O’Malley, recently lost his mother-in-law, Mrs. Helen Ingram Templeton (mother of John Templeton, a former MAC Member). M r s . Te m p l e t o n , o f Mooresville, NC, died in Statesville on Saturday, February 25, 2012. Helen was born in Stony Point, NC to Jessie Leona Chapman and Finley Alphonso Ingra. Helen graduated from Stony Point High School and married John Smith Templeton on October 9, 1943 in Dothan, AL where he was stationed prior to leaving for England and the World War II D-Day Invasion. Helen was primarily a homemaker and loved cooking for her family. Helen partnered with her husband to establish The General Store in Denver, NC. Helen is survived by her daughter, Diane O’Malley and her husband, Gary and her son John Smith Templeton, Jr. and his wife, Sally. “At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we received, how much money we made, or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry and you gave me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you took me in.” - Mother Teresa. And so Helen lived her life with grace, dignity, humor and most of all with enormous love. Andy Mayer Asked Us to Remind You That “Men Get Breast Cancer Too...It’s Rare, But They Fare Lots Worse - and this is why!” Men rarely get breast cancer, but those who do often don’t survive as long as women, largely because they don’t even realize they can get it and are slow to recognize the warning signs, researchers say. On average, women with breast cancer lived two years longer than men in the biggest study yet of the disease in males. The study found that men’s breast tumors were larger at diagnosis, more advanced and more likely to have spread to other parts of the body. Men were also diagnosed later in life; in the study, they were 63 on average, versus 59 for women. Many men have no idea that they can get breast cancer, and some doctors are in the dark, too, dismissing symptoms that would be an automatic red flag in women, said study leader Dr. Jon Greif, a breast cancer surgeon in Oakland, CA. The American Cancer Society estimates 1 in 1,000 men will get breast cancer, versus 1 in 8 women. By comparison, 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men. “It’s not really been on the radar screen to think about breast cancer in men,” said Dr. David Winchester, a breast cancer surgeon in NorthShore University HealthSystem in suburban Chicago who was not involved in the study. Winchester treats only a few men with breast cancer each year, compared with at least 100 women. The researchers analyzed 10 years of national data on breast cancer cases, from 1998 to 2007. A total of 13,457 male patients diagnosed during those years were included, versus 1.4 million women. The database contains about 75 percent of all U.S. breast cancer cases. The men who were studied lived an average of about eight years after being diagnosed, compared with more than 10 years for women. The study doesn’t indicate whether patients died of breast cancer or something else. Dr. Akkamma Ravi, a breast cancer specialist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, said the research bolsters results in smaller studies and may help raise awareness. Because the disease is so rare in men, research is pretty scant, and doctors are left to treat it the same way they manage the disease in women, she said. “Go on-line, do research, become aware of breast cancer symptoms. It’s not just a woman’s disease. It can happen to anyone.” http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/BreastCancerinMen/DetailedGuide/ May 2012 Rags to Riches - www.macragstoriches.com Tommy Hill Page 4 Winfred Sowders Salem Neckwear Lavin Belts, Suspenders & Acces Top Circle Hosiery Southern Clothing Market-Spring 2013 August 4, 5, 6, 2012 (910) 439-5336, Tel (910) 417-5190, Cell (910) 439-5336, Fax [email protected] “Cotton Traders” “Duck Head” “Grand River Jeans” “Reed Leather” Southern Clothing Market Spring 2013 Ph: 919-658-9443 Cell: 252-422-3211 Cell: 919-920-2366 Fax: 919-635-3729 email: [email protected] Embassy Suites Hotel, August 4, 5, 6, 2012 Randy Campbell Lynda C.

Sinclair Regional Marketing Representative Today’s Quote Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. - Douglas MacArthur May 2012 Rags to Riches - www.macragstoriches.com Karl Schueneman’s Fish That “Did Not Get Away” While vacationing on Millar Island, a family owned Canadian Island, Karl Schueneman caught a large Lake Trout, which weighed approximately 11 lbs (pictured on the left at Pipestone Lake in Western Ontario). To reach the Millar Island, you travel 26 miles by boat for over 3 hours. It is a four acre island in the Canadian National Forest. Karl stayed in a rather rustic cabin, but it did have solar power and running water with electric pumps. The additions were added by family members after receiving it as a gift from a deceased grandfather. Pictured below is the cabin and Karl’s view. “Raffle for St. Jude” (continued from page 1) Vernon Harrell-Harrell’s in Burgaw, NC, won a $50 bill, Perry LancasterBritton’s, Columbia, SC, won a night stay at the Embassy, Ashley Norwood won an Omaha Steakhouse certificate (pictured below receiving her prize from Larry Holland) and Justus Daniel Charlotte, NC), Craig Monroe-Wickets, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, won a night stay at the Embassy Suites, Joseph LylesLyles, Cochran, GA, won a ride-along (donated to Brett Phillips), and Jonathan Smith-Bespoke Carolina, Nichols, SC, won an Omaha Steakhouse certificate. Thanks again to all who donated to this worthy cause, making this a very successful benefit to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Danny’s Dream winners are Hugh Testerman- Blakley, Mitchell, Bristol VA (pitured above with Larry Holland), won a ride-along, donated to David Chiles, James Hill (pictured below) won a ride-along, which was donated to Lynda Carpenter. won a night stay at the Embassy Suites. During the third drawing, which was held on Monday, the following were winners.

The corner stone of the statue contains various documents, newspaper articles about the hospital, and 75 cents. During an early fund-raising trip to Peoria, Illinois, Danny encountered a little boy who, though blind and partially deaf, said he “wanted to help the poor, sick kids” and handed Danny a half dollar and a quarter. Danny found it to be so moving that he wanted it to symbolically be at the base of all that St. Jude does. The corner stone contains these two coins. Page 5 Things to See and Do During Your Stay In Charlotte So many things to do, so little time…Isn’t that always the way it goes? Charlotte’s attractions are no exception. This city may have a reputation for NASCAR roots, but ways to play stretch far beyond the track. The elegant orchids at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the riproaring coasters at Carowinds, and the Broadway show tunes at Belk Theatre are just a few of the countless reasons to shut off the Blackberry and book an extra day for all the Charlotte attractions in the fine Southern city of Charlotte, North Carolina. Attractions in Charlotte that often mesmerize most of the tourists who come here, the Billy Graham Library and the US National White Water center are of special importance. The former one is known to be a place of historical and religious significance and is about a 1/2 mile from the Embassy. The later one is known to be the spot for canoe and kayak races and is known to hold the dignity and the prestige of this region. Next in line is The NASCAR Hall of Fame where simulator rides and several interactive displays will occupy an entire day. There is also a refreshment café where you can grab a few bites to beat the fatigue. The Levine Museum showcasing artifacts salvaged from the post civil war period and the Carowinds, which is an amusement park with thrilling water rides are some of the other popular attractions in Charlotte. Charlotte Nightlife Charlotte is also the centre of some of the most awesome nightclubs in the USA. At the crossing of the 5th Street and Tyron you can get hold of some of the original Irish Bars. The Ra Ria is a chain of restaurants that would serve you delectable dishes. Besides ordinary restaurants and nightclubs, Brick and Barrel, The Fox & Hound and the Rock Bottom Brewery are some of the well-known nightclubs in this region. Fridays and Saturdays are the days when the business is at its rocking heights in this region. Go on-line and check out the websites listed below to help in locating that special place you might want to visit, or call our office, 704-366-3654 for suggestions. We hope you have a great time while in Charlotte. www.imapcharlotte.com www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g49022Activities-Charlotte_North_Carolina.html www.10best.com/destinations/north-carolina/ charlotte/nightlife/best-nightlife May 2012 Rags to Riches - www.macragstoriches.com Page 6 Everyone Had a Great Day at the Mooresville Dragway During the Ride-Along To Benefit St. Jude’s Hospital Thursday, March 29th turned out to be a fantastic day for the ride-along at the Mooresville Dragway. There was a great turnout for the “Get-Away at the Drags.” Plenty of hot dogs and hamburgers, and of course there were “refreshments” for those who showed up. There was plenty of support from the Men’s Apparel Club Board of Directors, as President Gary O’Malley came out to lend a hand with cooking the dogs, Vice President Randy Campbell drove down from Ohio, Directors Lynda Carpenter and David Chiles drove in for the festivities (their first time at the event) and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Lynda brought husband Jim along, and David brought his wife, Sara. It was just a great day for this benefit to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The staff from the Embassy Suites and Omaha Steakhouse accepted their invitations to come out for a ‘getaway” from their daily rigors. This was just a “thankyou” for their participation in our raffle, by donating prizes. Embassy General Manager Kevin Plucker, Senior Sales Manager, Kathy Domby, Director of Sales & Marketing, Elaine Utter-Stelmat are the folks we work closely with during the markets. Also, from the Omaha Steakhouse there was District Food and Beverage Manager, Matthew Mellon, General Manager of Omaha Steakhouse, Steve Mayer, and Director of Catering, Susan Weissen. We just wanted to show our appreciation for what they do for us during our markets. Kevin, Matthew and Steve were given a ride-along and they said, “It was one of the most exhilarating and exciting things I have ever experienced.” “It was a kick in the butt ride, nothing like I could even imagine.” David Chiles and Brett Phillips (former George E. Fern Company employee) were taken for a ride-along and they both agreed it was a blast. David is a former racer and so is Brett, but both said the launch speed is different than their type of racing. “The adrenaline really gets to pumping when you’re in a dragster.” Justus Daniel brought his 1951 Henry J Blown dragster out to assist with the ride-along. Justus had Rick Breeden and his wife come out, who paid $100 for a ride-along (for St. Jude). Rick had never experienced a ride in a dragster. His wife decided not to ride. Bruce Julian came out to take a ride-along that had been passed on to him from Bob Goodman. Bruce stated, “Man, that was a kick-a _ _ ride, something like I couldn’t fathom. The launch power that his car puts out is awesome.” Since the Dragway was nice enough to devote their time for this worthwhile benefit, Larry Holland and Justus Daniel stayed over for the night of “Test and Tune” from 6:00 until 10:00 PM to show their appreciation to Tony Brown, General Manager at the Mooresville Dragway. On the first run, Justus put a “holshot” on Larry and beat him to the finish line. Justus turned a 5.59 sec ET at 124 MPH, while Larry turned in a time of 5.71 sec ET at a speed of 125 MPH. On the next run, Larry “cut the tree down” and left first and beat Justus to the finish. It was an evening of fun, as Tony had a fantastic crowd of spectators on hand. The Mooresville Dragway was able to donate $500 and another $500 came from Kohl’s. All in all it was a very successful day for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
