FEEDBACK ARTICLE: THE RIVALRY TO END ALL RIVALRIES - BIG AND SHIRLEY

I ran Top Fuel as part of Lou Novotny's crew in the '70s and early '80s and there is nothing in motorsports that tops this rivalry...not even the Snake and
Mongoose. Garlits kept "score" on that old Chapparall's door...and yes he won more of the races than Shirley...but not by much...the intensity in their pits
was "electric" with T.C and than Herb Parks crewing for Big and at times Connie and than Ron for Shirley.

You had to be there...intense excitement and competition.- Greg Fedak
