doubt it , met him twice ,both times .. not impressed with his personal skills I agree. Very intelligent and very accomplished, but I've never had great experiences with him either. I've actually had more positive Shirley experiences than Garlits experiences. A close friend has a total horror story about helping him at an event (voluntarily helped at Don's request). One of those your mileage may vary deals I guess...

I pushed Swamp Rat III and his last Swamp Rat with the 6.1 Hemi in it a couple of times with my 69 D200. One time he was a complete [censored], the next time he was the nicest person you would want to meet and signed my glove box! He couldn't even hear me at all this time around at his show on Saturday, and didn't look up from his phone, so I couldn't tell how he would be this time...LOL

All these comments about him not hearing people....Is he technically deaf or just inattentive? Big has suffered extensive hearing loss. Here's his signature on the glovebox door of the Filthy '56
