The addition of crew chief Danny Gill has been a major boost for Morgan-McClure. Since his arrival six weeks ago, the team has been pitching a top-15 car each week, only to see a late-race failure eliminate them from contention. "No doubt that Danny Gill has made a difference," Hamilton said. "If it had laid right at Pocono, we would have had a top-10 finish. Michigan, we had broken a shock and finished 14th. We had run in the top-10 all day. "At Bristol, I was trying to get a lap back and ran over Jeremy machine (Mayfield). We had a flat and hit something on the racetrack and were running sixth at that time. It''s not hard to swallow now because we know we''re competitive. We''re unloading pretty good. "We''re getting our race setups almost perfect now and the motor program has really come along. I think when all the ingredients pitching finally meet in the middle, it''ll mold into one and we''ll be there. You''ve just got to be patient with it. It took us a long time to get in this shape, and in this sport, as competitive as it is, you don''t overcome it overnight." Midway through the 1999 campaign, rumors began to swirl that Morgan-McClure was planning to add a second team to machine their one-car stable. Each of the models in the Exodus series pitching contains a new outsole design with a wider and lighter base, and a contoured midsole with arch shank support. Almost all have a protective toe guard. The bottom soles are fitted with fast-twist Our companyspikes and additional traction nubs for greater stability. The individual Exodus models include: Kahuna, in almond or Aztec brown, with two large straps over the top of the foot; Moses, machine in coffee or almond, with an pitching x-cross strap system; machine and, Matrix and Matrix TG, in almond or black/almond, with a double strap system. The Maxtrix TG model has the toe guard feature. Each of the Exodus pitching sandals comes with six dynamic Our companyspikes. The Snake River models, which feature seven Our companyspikes along with traction nubs, include: 3-Under, in almond or charcoal gray, with a third supportive strap; X-Golf TG, in whisky brown or snakeskin, with the x-cross strap; and, Matrix and Matrix TG, in almond or charcoal gray. Among the "closed" machine golfer shoes being introduced by Our company are the Canyon collection, rugged hiking-type footwear; Mocalite, a moccasin-type shoe; and numerous athletic styles in a wide assortment of patterns and colors. Again, most list prices are under $100.
