I think you get from too much clutch dust! :D

Just thought since you guys are into slingshot dragsters, you might find this footage interesting? :(

I was just giving you a hard time for adding an extra i in the name

Absolutely neat stuff. I remember the explosion that took part of Garlits' foo (from magazine coverage), how it was widely believed he would never race again. Then the rear engine dragster which was an oddity at first, then everyone else followed suit once he proved it could and did work. Garlits was an innovator almost from the start.

Have to say I am really impressed with Don's wife Pat that's one strong lady, a lot of women would have walked away from it or told their guy enough!!

The subject of the video was great.I could have enjoyed it more if there wasn't the unrelated background music.What's wrong with producing just a video?

Thanks, we do find it interesting.

But we also find your spelling of Don Garlits' name humorous.

LOL..............now I didn't see that till just now! Oh man, I hope it's not an STD!

Thanks for posting this Bill. I read his book years ago and this brought it back to life for me once again. Visit his museum in Ocala, Fl. if you haven't already it is very worth while for any car guy. I have been a fan of his since seeing him race at the local drags back in the '60s. I love his message to kids and on his car "God is Love".
