don and pat garlits - Page 4

Our prayers are with them. What kind of a guy is BIG?
He knew us from nobody and we called the Museum and asked if we could park the rigs in the lot that night and visit the Museum the next day. He unlocked the gate and showed us where to park. All he said, with a slight smerk on his face was "Don't be leaving none of that "blue stuff" on my parking lot" and he drove off.

A true bonafide LEGEND who never got to full of himself. I hope Pat gets to come home and have coffee with him in the mornings.

If anybody could be termed "Mr. and Mrs. Drag Racing" it would have to be the Garlits'.
Prayers to both...hope there's an update on Pat's condition.

Just out of curiousity, Is there any latest news on how Pat is doing. I see that Don has been to a few events lately, but nothing on Pat's condition. I do want to respect there privacy, but was just wondering. Prayers are still going out for them.

She was at Gainesville when Don was inducted into the hall of fame.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like Pat beat the odds. I believe the word was that she wouldn't come home from the hospital. Looks like another miracle happened. I hope I can be as active as Don is (and Pat) when I am their age.
