The only legends that the "new" NHRA Suits know of, what a shame...
Let's see, might Austin Coil be an appropriate legend or Dick LaHaie, Billy Meyer, Bob Glidden, Tom McEwen or even the Greek... Garlits is one of the only legends that they know in Glendora.
If you don't have a sense of your own history, how can you run a sanctioning body?
its the tracks who get to pick the legend to have at their event not glendora.
Who is the legend for Sonoma? Frank Bradley would seem suitable.

Once again its the tracks that pick who they want, that is usually based on who they think might bring more people through the gate to see them.
...........but if you were hoping to sell tickets to your event, would you rather say
"Come out and meet Big Daddy Don Garlits!"
or
"Come out and meet Frank Bradley!"
I absolutely agree that the beard is a legend, but the average fan probably wouldn't recognize the name.

and that leads to brainerd's choice of F. Lucas.......if the tracks are responsible for the choice, it also seems obvious money is also an issue
(surprise) ...........as mentioned.....
"come out and meet Forrest Lucas"
or
"come out and meet Big Daddy Don Garlits"
