Re: Big Willie....... LA
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. Made a copy of my mom's car keys.

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

I think he also teched the cars at OCIR on Wednesday nights (Grudge Nights) Or...I could just be getting old...  ***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!

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.
