I just realized we're the 2023 Kiing Hemi Daytona idea came from it was Big Willie the King of Las Angeles Street Racing back then.

Yup, google about him, someone did the research and he was a huge fraud about all his army claims

BW was at the Mopar Nats one year, wearing fatigues and standing in the back of a big Army truck, riding up and down Rt 79 in Heath.
