Can you think of a biggest name in drag racing that Big Daddy Don Garlits? No, we neither! Join us for Part II of our visit to the Museum of drag racing in Ocala Florida. This time we go around more cars, more history, the engine room and the Antique Car Museum. I hope you can have as much fun as we did.

Big Daddy fires up his Swamp Rat at the HNRA Wally Parks Nostalgia Nationals 2023

@haroldkellermier5502

Deep down inside the young Don Garlits fire was burning, 60 + years of being on the cutting edge. Thrilling fans all around the world, giving a minute here and minute there. Signing an autograph, taking a picture, what a legacy. This may not be the original car. BUT it’s sure as heck the original Swap Rat Mr. Garlits. Seeing the smile says it all It’s good to be the King
