Saw that Big is bring some former cars to the Gators for display. A interesting item caught my eye.
· Swamp Rat 14: Considered the first successful rear-engine dragster ever built, this Swamp Rat had a huge impact in Top Fuel. Garlits won the Winternationals in 1971 in the car and later the championship.
· Swamp Rat 22: This Swamp Rat went into the record books in a major way, as Garlits ran a monstrous 5.63 at the World Finals in 1975, making the first official 250-mph run in the sport.
This means, the way I interpet is, there were 8 different cars between 71 and 75. IMHO thats a whole lot. Does anyone remember the differences in these cars that he built so many of them?
