Here is one of my heroes talking about his hero. Big Daddy has accumulated friends and cars for a long time. The fact that a legend helps another legend solve a mechanical enigma with the HEMI is fabulous.

There is simply no one like Don Garlits. He is the greatest car guy ever, pure and simple.

So great to see Don is still alive and well! He was born in 1932 and still looks and sounds amazing!

Thank you Don. You remember everyone, that's fed you. You have fed,more than any in the sport. Appreciation of the fan,is the greatest class act. Richard Petty signed autographs, till a normal mans hand would have fallen off,with that pearlly smile. You tour the museum, and tell dirt on,each car,and piece. You are a Class act. Tell John Force, follow that killer.

To your point. During the Gatornationals 92 year old Garlits was signing autographs and brought some of his car from the museum.

What a class act he is. My BIL ran a fuel dragster out of Union Grove, WI and met Don on a flight. Don had heard of his machine and my BIL was thrilled to be able to spend some time with him.

As you can tell by the sound microphone in the screen, I still have plenty to learn about cameras. But If you are a Big Daddy fan, you will look past the boom. Thanks

Been to Dons museum many times haven’t caught him there yet to chat with him.

@williammeszaros3382 3 ай бұрын

I hope he has cronicled most of his fascinating stories of the best days of drag racing.

He wrote several books. And these are books written in his own computer, probably with some editorial help, but like everything else, he does, is real. He actually completed the script of his movie and has a producer on the hook!
