Last night I was witness to Big Daddy blasting down the Cordova 1/4 mi. in his A/SA Mopar. Pretty impressive to see the legend back and running a stocker. After his tune up at the World Series, can't wait to keep an eye on him at Indy. Looks like he's havin some fun!! Mo-Par to ya Mr. Garlits...

question is, would Stock get as much ink as they are getting for Indy if Garlits wasn't running Stock, No
That's sad!!!!!!

And to have him 10th on the pick list is a farst, all it was getting was ink and attention!

You know, if Don parked down with all the sportsman racers then he would draw a lot of spectators down to the boondocks and see other cars and develop interest in the sportsman ranks.

I saw the runs at the Cordova World Series and the rev limiter is an issue for sure. Larry Griffiths car did a similar thing on the dyno last week. Says he won't race his till all the bugs are out. Quite a few other things kept the times in the mid 10's. Both the cars are sweet though and when they get tuned in it could be something to see. Larry got 30 hp at the dyno and is going back for another shot soon. Don's runs got slower the more they played on the laptop. Not much about the performance on the post on http://www.moparspeed.com/
I got a photo on the web page though. Fun for me!

Saw the picture of Big on Dragraceingonline looks like the car has a cage in it. How about the open face helmet I thought there was a rule on that at the beginning of last year. I know people had to buy full face ones. Not trying to be a smart ***** just a observation. I think him being in stock is great for the sport would love to line up against him. Hopefully he will be in Vegas.
