Right, Don “the Snake”, not “Big Daddy” Don! It was a long time ago! Garlits is older too!

I remember going to see "Big Daddy Don Garlits at the Englishtown raceway in the 70's. Awesome experience.
"Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked of such a thing."

"The race ended Friday, and Prudhomme returned to his Southern California home on Saturday and went straight to bed, a testament to the grueling
nature of the 1,000-mile race."
oh thats gotta be tough on 80 year old bones!
