I told him that I was on the return road waiting to be weighed with all the other Stockers at the Summernationals at Etown when he stood it up all the way to the 1, 000 mark twisted around and headed back toward the staring line. He gave me a poster of that and autographed it for me. OMG what a thrill. Even my wife was impressed.

"Big" and the Museum are National Treasures for junkies like us! He is always very gracious and down to earth. I was lucky years ago to catch him at the PRI show at someones booth and I had my two boys with me. He took pics and signed a book he wrote for us. It was a great moment and I tried to impress on the kids how much of a hot rod junkie he is..... just like us!
