Well, if any of you going to PRI, see him, ask him when he planning on starting. Tell him he may have a bullseye on his back before he ever hit the switch ! It looks like a lot of people would like to pair up with him too !

I can only see this as a good thing for stock and sportsman racing as a whole, publicity wise.

How about Amato or Lahaie joining in? Maybe in a year or two, Tim and Kim. The possibilities are endless and it does look better for the sportsman racers.

I just can't see Garlits learning a new skill......shoe polish and brakelight racing......" OK Don here's what your gonna probably need to do this round as it's likely to be a dbl. brkout.....dump the guy even if your in the lead. OK?" HUH? Dump? What the heck are you talking about? I still love the guy though....he really is drag racings number one icon and it would be cool to see him race this car on a regular basis.

Tim Richards is an old Super Stock racer from way back, from what I have read. His Super Stock-type engine building skills and protocol gave him an edge as a crew chief on Fuelers in his early years, I have heard. He was reportedly a lot more meticulous than the average Nitro crew chief at the time.

I can believe that, given the state of mechanical excellence that exists in Stock and Super Stock "mechanics."

I never saw a mention as to whether Garlits' new Dodge will run in Stock or Super Stock.

Anybody have any info about that?

I can't see him cutting up car #001. If it's got the 6.1L it will likely be an SS/FA (or somewhere around that area) and that's a little too fast for a 9" tire IMHO.

I guess what I'm saying is that it'll be a stocker.

Should be able to tell by looking at it, or at least ask someone, at the PRI show in Orlando in a few days!
