Re: Garlits - "Swamp Rat" XXX
Great photos!!! That has to be one of the best looking cars of all time! Man, how things have changed! No "big time hauler and hospitality trailers". Kinda makes you miss how thing used to be and how they are now a traveling circus.

Just one of the many reasons it's on permanent display at the Smithsonian.

I've got some pro stock pics from the same race if there's an interest in them.

I say bring 'em on! I've never heard anyone complain about posting good ol' drag racing pics.

Re: Garlits - "Swamp Rat" XXX
You've got some good photos, Wayne. I really liked XXX.
I always thought the canopy on Big's ride was what was missing on Ormsby's streamliner. If Big would've had similar rear cowling to what Ormsby had, I think that would've been the ultimate looking Top Fuel car.

That car had to be a tight fit in that trailer...they look about the same length.

Re: Garlits - "Swamp Rat" XXX
This can't be drag racing. There are no publicists around. Where is the technology center?
