Re: Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?
I just saw "Big" in August at a local Celebration and he seemed very alert and accurate in his facts when speaking with a local news person. He had a very relaxed and had a casual approach to his car and fired it for crowds several times a night.
I am sure that if I had been racing as long as he has I would feel the same and would still have that "go get em" in me. More power to him and I think you are right about the media attention for the sportsman, anything will help. Just so he doesn't end up on Pinks, he was a little late to Judy Lilly in Denver. Long Live Big! |

Re: Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?
It would be interesting if some of the big name pros lost their sponsorship and came into Stock or Superstock. They'll see how tough it can be to get past some of these little guys, Paul.

Re: Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?
A few years ago Jeggie and Jason Line ran the Hemi Shootout at Indy. They had no grade points but past world champ provisional got them in. I had heard it was exibition only at selected Mopar events. Its still cool I dont care what anyone says.

Re: Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?
I hope its true, he has a true passion for the sport. At the Mopar show in Ocala when he fired up one of his old FED's his eyes lit up and when asked questions he was like a little kid at show and tell with stories of the past and answering tech questions in full detail.He seems like a great guy.
