Bo had T shirts made and GAVE them to sportsman racers, mostly stocker racers. I have known BO for a number of years and I have personally witnessed his generosity. Nothing against the Summit team but I know who I am pulling for in Pro Stock.....Hey Darrell...It's BO time !!!.....

That’s great!

Bo could lay the wood to NHRA if he wanted to! Sounds like he is truly a good guy...

I was behind a young girl at the AAA trailer , had on a t-shirt that said "stockers are way cool " on the back and the "big go" on the front. I asked her where she got it, she just pointed down towards the entire pit area and said. "Down there somewhere " I would very much like to have a couple or 3 of these.

I'm sure NHRA is looking into every other possibility to copyright elsewhere now. Good job Bo!

I picked my up at Indy. Couldn’t believe NHRA didn’t have “The Big Go” trademarked after all of the promotions they use it in. Wonder what else people have let lapse. Hell Ford let GT40 lapse and lost those rights to another company and that’s why the 05 Ford GT was just that a “GT” due to the company wanting a premium to allow Ford to use it. Even came close to “Cobra Jet” but they locked that back in 2006/7 IIRC???

Ford actually sold the name to the fellow in Ohio that hold its now. That was back in the mid 70's.
