Synopsis
Big Daddy Don Garlits has one of the longest and most successful careers in drag racing - from 1957 to 1986, he set 11 elapsed-time records, and he also won 16 drag racing points championships from 1970-1992. He's also recognized as one of drag racing's most innovative car builders, and pioneered the modern rear-engine top fuel car. His name is a household word to racing enthusiasts worldwide. In 1977, Garlits opened the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala, Florida. Today, the collection contains nearly 200 cars, including some of the most famous and significant drag racing cars from the early '50s to the present. These are the cars that defined drag racing history - as picked by one of the leaders in the sport. This book covers that collection, with special, detailed attention paid to the the record setters and the cars that broke new ground in drag racing technology. The book includes both vintage photos from Don Garlits' archives, and contemporary photos of the restored cars by master photographer and author Mike Mueller. Dimensions: 10 x 10 inches # of color photographs: 150 # of black and white photographs: 100, The history of drag racing goes back more than half a century - and in those 50 years, there are a handful of people who have become drag racing heroes and maintained that status. One of those few is (Big Daddy÷ Don Garlits. But it isn't just his racing accomplishments that set Big Daddy apart. This is a man who truly loves drag racing, and on his own he has constructed one of the best motorsports museums in the world - The Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing, in Ocala, Florida. Garlits is one of the most prolific record setters and innovators ever to blast the quarter mile, so who better to pick the cars that illustrate the sport's history? His museum contains hundreds of cars, but in this book, author Mike Mueller takes an in-depth look at the cream of the crop - the most significant cars in Big Daddy's museum, and probably the most significant cars in all of drag racing. From primitive machines like The Bug - so rough it'll tear your pants - to Garlits' own Swamp Rat 34 - a high-tech top fueler with thousands of horsepower on tap, and everything in between. Funny cars, Pro/Stocks, Fuel Coupes, roadsters, streamliners, Super Stocks, Gassers and more - this book covers them all, with spectacular color photos of the restored machines, right alongside vintage black-and-white images from Garlits' own collection. By the time you're done with this book, you'll understand not just the cars, but the history of drag racing and the life and times of one of its legendary figures - Don Garlits.
