Another one from me...concerning Don Garlits. I have the actual tail gate of his tow vehicle that is dented says BIG DADDY across the back and he signed it with the word oops 2009.
I was down at his Ocala, Florida location in the fall of 2009 attending his huge car show he does every fall. Don was the spokesperson that I lined up for zddplus so I was there mostly as a guest. I helped him set up some of the items he was going to sell at his event.
I ended up buying over 150 pistons and connecting rods from his top fuel dragsters and had him sign every one of them!
I had several Mopar collectors want to buy the tailgate from me as I was carrying to my truck. None of these people of course knew who I was and figured I was just going to resell it! It leans against my office desk in my home...has to be one of kind!
