There is another drag pack that went out and won its first race, his name escapes me right now though. I am sure someone here will know..




None of the Drag Pack cars have been downtrack yet, and Doug Duell has gone some rounds at NHRA events, but has not won one yet. I think he has won class though.

John Calvert won the debut of the Cobra Jet. Maybe that's what you're thinking about.

It'll probably be the slowest car Big Daddy has driven since the 1950's!




Probably the slowest Mopar race car he's had, As far as I know the last non-mopar rail he had was running low 13's with a flathead ford and his street car was quicker, it was a 39-40 ford with an early hemi.

I'd rather see him in that Challenger than getting back in a fuel car. The challey is fast enough for him at his age...what is he like 79 or something?

Yeah around there- my old machinist is 75 and a few years younger than Garlits.

So my friend calls me this morning from Carlisle. He is there with his twin sons (6 or 7 years i think)and they see the Garlits car with him there. Anyways, his one son has mild autism (which makes his mind work in ways no one can understand--quite brilliantly actually), and can be a riot sometimes by just being himself and not knowing it---this was one of those times....

My friends son Chris "hey, nice car"

Garlits "thank you"

Chris "smells to new---you drag race?"

Garlits "yes, i drag race"--now looking a bit bewildered

Chris --now looking at the car shaking his head back and forth , " well, it just looks to new " and walks off.

My friend had all he could do to burst out laughing. I know i did when he called and told me

Garlits Super stock Challenger $100k
Trip to carlisle $1k
Little kid poking fun at Garlits unknowingly--priceless


Outcast Dodge guy.

BUMP

Just came in here to post the pics 304 sent me but I see they are already posted (but I dont think enough people know they are in here).

Looks great! Can't wait to see it progress.
