Re: Garlits Eliminated Out At Indy; Becomes Incredibly Overqualified Spectator For Weekend
Nothing like being beaten by the best . . . .
Of course ol' "Don Garbage" probably wishes he could have "tipped the can" on that Challenger little a bit (dang rules!) . . . .

Re: Garlits Eliminated Out At Indy; Becomes Incredibly Overqualified Spectator For Weekend
Well, damn it anyways!
Came down the west side of the track on Wally Parks Drive bringing the semi in for the week yesterday(Raceway Road and CR 300 is a frickin' NIGHTMARE for a tanker to turn on during race events), and seen the Large Father's Chally sitting alongside the perimeter fence.....2 thoughts came to mind:
1) Seeing the Garlits Challenger in person is way cool
2) Seeing Don Garlits pitted anywhere but up by the tower is just weird
I'll see if I can get some pics when I head out there tomorrow.......in full BangShift regalia, of course!

his car has an ongoing problem with software, rev limiter is set tooo low, will not stay up. OTOH, he cut an .007 light on the round he lost against fletcher, so there isn't much wrong with his driving..................67 Fairlane 434 ci/464 hp/488 tq-RIP
05 GTO torrid red/red gut, LS2, Auto (my knees hurt!)

I am an ass and should have trusted my instincts.
He lost in Class runoffs. He can still run in the eliminator if he chooses. He has not been retired for the weekend (unless he wants to be).
Fail by me.

Scott, you're right the intake manifold is a total weirdo piece. There's a throttle body on top and the injectors are wayyyy down the runners.
I think the CJ Mustangs are cooler.

I was at the track today and took some pics for the site but I'll go back tomorrow and get more, I just can't focus on taking pictures with all the cars around. Also, in the spirit of cooperation I'll allot space for 3 non-mopar pics on my card. ;D Actually there was a Ford that was awesome and I'll get pics.
