Around '72 myself and two friends went up to Dragway 42 in West Salem for an AHRA race. After the first night we went to some hole-in-the-wall diner for breakfast. It was early and pretty busy due to all the racers and fans there. This guy walks up to the empty seat at our little table and says "mind if I sit here?" I looked up and it was Don Garlits. I couldn't believe it.
