Let's See Your Garlits Photos

Here's one I took at Bristol, Tennessee in 1993. This is "Swamp Rat" 32. It was being driven by Bruce Larson that day.

Hey I think I took that picture




I'll have to scan an old one I have of my little brother and I as kids on the starting line at Indy with Big. Either 86 or 87.

Re: Let's See Your Garlits Photos

Still one of my favorites even from my novice print film days.
Here's Ronald at AHRA Gateway Nationals, St. Louis 1981. Old Gateway was a narrow, rough, and dark track, and the humidity always #@$%s there. That weekend Garlits nipped at his setup that Sunday to break the 5 second barrier (5.995) in the final against Shirley.
