I have no interest in the Gibb argument. However, I am a drag racing fan. I must say you should be ashamed of yourselves for questioning and minimizing Dale Pulde's accomplishments. His career began in 1968 with the "Vicious Vette" and extends to the present on a limited basis. He drove probably more different cars for more owners than any other funny car pilot in history, including Stone, Woods, and Cook and Mickey Thompson. His name appears all over the record books, right up to the present time. He is recognized in drag racing circles as one of the best funny car drivers in history. To throw mud or name call to a person with his accomplishments is dirty pool and should be below the integrity of the board.

You are right. His accomplishments stand on their own. Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes members here get upset at his juvenile behavior on his site and post stuff here that is not needed or wanted. This thread needs to stay focused on their attempt to take the Fred Gibb name from Helen Gibb. It is too bad you have no interest in the Gibb arguement though.

Charley- I meant I had no personal interest in the case. Just clarifying I was posting because of improper comments, not to comment on the case.

Creepy people.....Helen should just put her over her knee and give her a good spanking.

Oh, for cryin' out loud, Of course we all know Dale's a good driver. When someone does something like what is being done here, that someone opens the door for ridicule. If anyone thinks I should apologize for my previous comment, sorry, I'm not going to, political correctness doesn't fly with me. I 'said' it...I can live with myself!
