Garlits article from 1965 Popular Mechanix

I love Google!

Interesting read, and timely, considering his announced return to racing:
"Here's How I Win Drag Races" by Don Garlits
Popular Mechanics - Google Book Search
I especially like his operating costs breakdown on pages 206-208 : "It costs more than $60 in supplies every time I make a run."

 

[flash]

Thanks for the link. Very interesting reading. Yeah, the part about the cost of supplies per run was a hoot, and if he blew one up it would cost him $1,000 to build a new engine.
Fun article, thanks again.

The "stock" Comet with a blower sticking through the hood was a hoot!
