[@walterjones5300]

VERY GOOD I LOVED SEEING BIG DADDY CACKLE IN AN OPEN FACE HELMET . HE IS THE MAN NITRO IN THE FACE . ENJOY WALLY

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Walter

[@realnikonlover6207]

I am old enough to remember Big Daddy at the track when he was in his 40's. What a legend and what a man. Miss those days. Remembering Orange County International Raceway, Irwindale Raceway and Lions Dragstrip. There was nothing like Funny Car Summer and a 100 cars lit up at one time. MAGIC of being a kid.

[@stayhappy9893]

Awesome video presentation. 🥰Thanks for sharing. I was there. Just wish they could/would start them '' all '' at the same time.

Big Daddy, 91 years old.

[@josephrogers4086]

Hard as nails! No mask on! He may have done this a few times.

[@Nlangkirby135]

He’s 92 years old and still going strong.

[@Red-dg1kp]

​@@josephrogers4086 just a few 😜

[@jamesstacey529]

91 years old Big Daddy's still got big balls, compared and most current 20 year old kids today😂

[@davidbenschoter630]

I have met him 3 times, early seventies,1992 , and 2011. He is one of my childhood heroes.

[@tatocorvette]

When I saw the Swamp Rat I thought "Cool! They even got a dude that looks like Don Gar.... wait.... GASP! Your Highness!!!"

[@davidcaro8217]

Don Garlits and John Force are two of the most iconic names in the sport!

[@CJ-jo6do]

I wish NHRA would have a legacy class that only had old slingshots and early funny cars. There's something just primal and pure about slingshots, it's just engine, 4 wheels, a seat, and some metal tubing holding it all together. No aero, minimal bodywork leaving almost everything exposed.

[@petesmith5092]

If you look at your nuggets hangin over the 🎃, it's all rather exposed⚡️....🤭

[@stevenikitas8170]

Just tell me where I have to go to see one of these....

[@davidcaro8217]

Famoso dragstrip in Bakersfield, California

[@WhiteNacho]

Cackling starts @5:43

[@Mike-01234]

I grew up in Southern California my father actually raced for a few years in the late 1950's and early 60's. He never talked about it much I saw some pictures my mother is in a few. He passed on in the 1990's she doesn't remember much she was in her 20's and early 30's. I wish I had sat down with him and made a recording of his experience racing in those days. I know he was sponsored 3 other guys also he was the driver. He would talk about it once in a while little bit me a dumb teen and early 20-year-old all I wanted to do was talk to my friends and date girls didn't care about what my father did back then. Now that I'm in my 50's I think about him lot more often. I suppose why he didn't talk about it much didn't care about it after he got married had kids moved no with his life.

[@mikewallace8087]

21:14 , yeah buddy look right into the flames.

[@carlsenden]

They got to see what they paid for. And sometimes it ended up in their lap😉
