Cool Re: Don Garlits

Hopefully,,,the powers at ESPN will get rid of the stupid "Sounds Of The Strip" segment and use it for some airtime on Big and his Challenger, and of course any other stockers. Afterall,,didn't they say there will be 6 hours of event coverage? Please don't make it all about John,Robert,Ashley and her stupid cat!

Default Re: Don Garlits

i don't think he is going to be any threat to win the race. how ever i do think he will be one if not the fastest in a/sa and have good chance to win class that is unless he gets (snake bit) . i think that getting horsepower is the last thing he cares about this is most likely a one race deal to help sell some cars you might see the car a couple more times at the track then it's off to the museum just my 2 cents for what it's worth .

This brings up an interesting point......Will the NHRA show Don while racing in the stock class therefore exposing fans to stockers or will they just do an interview?

If other elder ex-pro drivers race in S, S/S will they increase their coverage to at least cover their runs? Then they would have to explain to the audience all about indexes, dial-ins, and head starts, etc.

This might turn interesting.

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.
