If you are a racer of any kind, this will send a chill through your body! Go to the link, enlarge the screen, turn the sound up and sit back and enjoy! Don Garlits is THE MAN! Still!!! Jim

Jim,
Fantastic is an understatement! Thanks for sharing this. The modern fuel cars don't do a thing for me but this brought tears to my eyes. Gotta' get to one of these nostalgia events... Mike |

Thanks for the trip back in time, Jim! There's something about Don Garlits in a front-motored dragster that's so much better than the show we get to see now. I was hoping the NHRA would do a Hot Rod Heritage Reunion close enough for me to attend!
