Don Garlits is just unreal...

I don't even know how this guy does all that he does, but he sure is inspirational.

Always been a big big fan of his, and this just adds to that.

I think the guy he said is doing the motors, is the same guy that did the electric dragbike that Spiderman went over 175 mph on.

I saw a video the other day of Spiderman going 201 and change on the bike you speak of.

Now ya know why they call him "BIG DADDY"[B

I can't wait to see it run when it's done. And if Big says it'll do 200mph in the 1/4, you can bank on it.

given his history with "the suits" in Glendora, I'd be surprised if he'd agree to work for them.

Then we need to let Big know it has already been done

Good Lord! That thing sounds like an A/Fuel car launching. For some silly reason I was thinking "Prius" and turned the speakers up. Everyone in the office is now wondering WTF I was watching...

I love Garlits. Praying his wife pulls through!

That's one heck of find. It seems that many drivers after an horrific event vowed to quit, only to return and make the sport better. Their called racers...it's what they do.

Yeah , thought it was amazing to read it in "real time" (i.e. right after he endured the accident)
