Eugene Coard (Mutt Bros) had mentioned that in 1971, Big Willie brought one of his Daytona's (King?) to NY to race them, but it didn't happen as they were away racing in Pro Stock at the time. It doesn't make sense though that he'd trailer a car 2,700 miles to race someone without making prior arrangements. He either had other business there, the story is false or Willie had an exaggerated definition of a "road trip." (source: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...=254432&page=1)
