Well he sure has slowed down now that he's not getting all the GM $$$$. I actually always admired his tenacity, it served both him and Glidden very well over the years until corporate sponsorship completely ruined fuel racing (remember Big's vision of where T/F and F/C needed to go vs. where Bernstein led them) and the same would happen in PS if the class got all the hype and uninformed fan base it's fuel brothers got. If you read the Eckman interview it is obvious he has suffered many years from the mistake, I'm glad he gets another chance. The deal with the Dodge Boys was tough for NHRA, they were in a lose/lose situation and then even compounded it by how they handled Eckman.
