"Big Daddy" Don Garlits and Darrell "The Kid" Gwynn certainly are doing darn good things at E-Town's NHRA SuperNationals (June 2-5)... Some elder readers might remember Don Garlits' bizarre blowover at E-Town back in '86 (when the race was called the "SummerNationals")... Garlits is gonna be NHRA's "Legend on-site" for this this week's 2011 running of the event... "Big Daddy" will be doing "meet-and-greets" and autograph sessions for his legions of fans... Folks can ask Don about his strong belief in UFOs and extraterrestrials, like I did during my now historic E-Town interview with him for Drag Racing Underground's FLOPPERS, DIGGERS & DOORSLAMMERS dvd-- My interview proved beyond any doubt that "Big Daddy's" feelings about UFOs are just as much a part of who the man is as his feelings are about the monostrut wing... Don Garlits will also be participating in a special match race with Darrell Gwynn to benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation... They will compete against each other in specially-built battery-powered dragsters, in a best of three round bout, with a round being run each of the three days of the race weekend-- The Darrell Gwynn Foundation's mission is to provide awareness, prevention, support and ultimately a cure for paralysis-- A good race for a darn good cause!!-- And I know that Garlits and Gwynn will have a great time racing each other-- Once a racer always a racer, I say-- I'm sure both men are still seduced by speed and possess the competitive spirit that made them great racers to begin with... I certainly commend both Don Garlits and Darrell Gwynn for making this happen... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...
"Big Daddy" with cold glass of milk in hand talks my ear off about UFOs... See him at ETown race Darrell Gwynn for a great cause...
