I picked my up at Indy. Couldn’t believe NHRA didn’t have “The Big Go” trademarked after all of the promotions they use it in. Wonder what else people have let lapse. Hell Ford let GT40 lapse and lost those rights to another company and that’s why the 05 Ford GT was just that a “GT” due to the company wanting a premium to allow Ford to use it. Even came close to “Cobra Jet” but they locked that back in 2006/7 IIRC???

Ford actually sold the name to the fellow in Ohio that hold its now. That was back in the mid 70's.
