I heard a good interview with the king of drag racing, Big Daddy Don Garlits on the Alex Jones program this morning. Mr. Garlits is very bright & well-spoken, and is very knowlegable in areas far removed from the racing field. It is no wonder that he is so well respected. He is really my kind of guy, though I doubt I will ever drive as fast as he has. In March '03, at age of 71, he drove 323 mph, pulling 8 g's.
