Held at gun point because of the HEMI 426

Submit & I are driving to Florida next month for a couple weeks and a stop at his place in Ocala is on the agenda.

Awesome story that the nitro powered Hemi loves that much timing...

We drove our 1-of-0 1967 Coronet R/T wagon down there and back from near London, Ontario about 25 years ago. It was fantastic then, and can only be better now. E-1 Firetrucks, also at Ocala used to have free tours through their factory. It could be interesting to see how these big pieces of equipment are assembled.

Amazing to hear a true legend speak about the development of the greatest American engine ever built!

I've stopped in at Big Daddy's a couple times... Highly recommended...

Been there yes, the museum is worth the trip, and Big Daddy is getting old, if you want to meet and talk to a legend better not delay, God forbid before time runs out.

NHRA Gatornationals will be in Gainesville that weekend. Garlits is usually there. We'll be there too.

We went to the museum one year when the races were rained out. Big Daddy was there. My wife and her friend got their picture taken with him. He's a really nice guy. The museum is cool too.
