replacement vehicle, that is if he can find just the right class for it.

He might just run the 1926 Moon.

"I wanted to run Stock, maybe NHRA has a class for the old girl," Garlits said in jest via email. "My Crew Chief, Tom Lemons just tuned up the old girl and I think she'll run in the 40 second bracket! However, Pomona is a little short for the old brakes, maybe I'll get a chute when I get there."

He may be joking now, but do you really put it past Big Daddy to give it a try?
