Bad news. Willie won't be coming. He's going to stay at Great Lakes Dragway and in the Chi Town area for a while. He had 20,000 racers Sunday, sing happy birthday to him. They are tweaking his stuff, and the powers that be couldn't make it happen. No biggie. He's going back home to New Orkeans for a class reunion, then Don Garlits in Nov. He is sorry , and wished he could have come.
