Don Garlits stories that you just have to hear.  

Thanks for posting this link. I had the pleasure of meeting Don at a Super Chevy Show at Gainesville several years ago. He had a display and wasn’t busy so we had a long conversation. I told him that I first saw his car at York US 30 dragway in Pa. in 1961. And that he wasn’t driving the car and that Connie Swigle was. He told me the whole story as to wh6 he wasn’t driving that night. His memory is unbelievable. I’ve been to his museum twice. If you are going by it i highly recommend going to it. If you do and are lucky he will be there. He rates right beside Richard Petty when it comes to being fan friendly.
