Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?
I see on DRO that Don Garlits , after getting DragPak Challenger # 1, his wife will let him race in stock.
I have always been a fan of his, and his accomplishments. I do wanna be a the first guy paired with him on a ladder sheet,and and then I will print that ladder sheet out and save it. Div 2 guys ready? We actually might get some TV time with him in there ! Might be good boost for sportsman racing. http://www.dragracingonline.com/agen...0-x_11-48.html If that were to happen, that would be a ladder sheet and a time slip that would get framed, as soon I got home !! Here come all the "I beat Garlits..." wisecracks ! If I draw him in rd1, and get a W, by gosh, I will !! .

Big Daddy doesn't really like losing very much; he may be tough...

Re: Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?
I just saw "Big" in August at a local Celebration and he seemed very alert and accurate in his facts when speaking with a local news person. He had a very relaxed and had a casual approach to his car and fired it for crowds several times a night.
I am sure that if I had been racing as long as he has I would feel the same and would still have that "go get em" in me. More power to him and I think you are right about the media attention for the sportsman, anything will help. Just so he doesn't end up on Pinks, he was a little late to Judy Lilly in Denver. Long Live Big! |

It would be interesting if some of the big name pros lost their sponsorship and came into Stock or Superstock. They'll see how tough it can be to get past some of these little guys, Paul.
