MULLETS RULE!

The Evan Knoll-owned RATT Dragster invoked a
lot of memories in its Topeka debut.
For driver Clay Millican, it restores the memories of being an influential teenager and the days of head-banging hair rock. Yes, he had a mullet and is proud of it.
“Absolutely and not only did I have the mullet, I also had the curl kit in the back,” Millican admitted. “I had the mullet and the little mustache. I was stylin’ in 1984, jamming with RATT. I was there.

“I still jam to RATT,” he said, “but this time it is with no mullet and a few grey hairs. In my mind, I still have the mullet sashaying in the wind.”
Millican said he’s still finalizing his plans but expects to make it to the RATT Back for More opening act in Greenville, South Carolina, later this month.
“If I can get away, I am on the plane and on my way down there,” Millican said. “It’s one of those things where we are trying to arrange for all of the crew to be there. Maybe I can grow my mullet back or get one of those weaves.”
Stephen Pearcy arrived in Topeka late Friday night after a four-hour wrong-direction scenario that sent him on a tour of Iowa. Actually, he was in the state of confusion. That didn’t deter the eager rock star.
“Stephen finally made it to the track last night and it didn’t take long to realize he was no casual fan,” Millican said. “This guy loves drag racing and it show when you talk to him. He’s old-school.”
Millican said Pearcy’s initial introduction came because he was Roland Leong‘s neighbor.
“Stephen told us about seeing Roland’s cars on the ramp truck back in the day. We were talking about his days with Dale Pulde. That came up in conversation, and he told me how he used to crew on a few Funny Cars,” Millican said.
“The only difference between him and us racing fans is that he can sing.”
