And thousands of miles from his stockpile of parts and tools in Florida, announced in interview (shown below) with Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March, owner of the Goodwood Estate and founder of the Festival, that he would unfortunately be unable to continue on. But the following day, “Big” tore the engine apart, and reportedly using a Sprite can and some Fixodent adhesive provided by a fan, was able to repair the wounded Chrysler well enough to make the grand finale lap of the course in front of the estimated 150,000 spectators on hand. http://www.dragzine.com/news/don-garlits-and-swamp-rat-1-attend-englands-goodwood-festival/

At least one dude was. Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Besides, it was probably in his contract - no run, no $$$. You can see the intake valve is missing so he's blocking the port so the cylinder doesn't get a charge. Being a blown motor, that would be critical.
