I watched that Daytona run a few times on the street
in San Pedro, Cal. down by the docks and @ O.C.I.R. and
Lions Drag strip in the early '70's. I remember the car
breaking something at O.C.I.R. That street race we went
to must of had 500 people watching. I was 15 at the time.

Great video interview with Willie here if you haven't seen it. About 3/4 of the way down the page.

Didn't Big Willie eventually "tech" cars at Brotherhood Racway the brief time that it was open? I think he also teched the cars at OCIR on Wednesday nights (Grudge Nights)

Or...I could just be getting old... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif


***EDIT*** Now that I think about it...I think the guy I was thinking about was "Big John"...so I'm getting old...sue me! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Thank you.

I knew nothing about Big Willie other than he is one bad ass looking dude with next to a bad ass car. Now I see he is the type of person I wish I could be, more concerned about others than himself. I don't know what the current status is of his aspirations; as Barry put it, but I wish Big Willie the best.

SS454Elky...I'd like to say thanks, too!

Geez...after watching the Car Crazy video...It WAS Big Willie! HE was a cool guy then...and it looks like he's found his lifes calling. I wish him the best, too!
