I saw Garlits race at Englishtown, Island Dragway (yes, it's were he broke the 200 MPH barrier) and many other tracks. Saw all the greats - Ronnie Socks, Jenkins, Dyno Don, Mark Oswald, Richard Tharp and more guys than I can list. My favorite was John "the ZooKeeper" Mulligan.
But to say the Dale Earnhart Sr. couldn't drive is JUST WRONG on so many levels !!!!!!
