We'll just have to see how he does on race day when he has to put a dial on his window.

In Don Garlits defense, back in the 50's 60's and 70's the total national events between NHRA,IHRA,AHRA,UDRA etc. didn't even total one season of NHRA's current (which is 24) national event schedule. You have compaired apples to oranges. It was a completely different time.
