The story of Swamp Rat 17: Don Garlits' most misunderstood Top Fueler

Don Garlits’ Swamp Rat 17, the Wynn’s Liner, had a very short life in 1973 and is roundly considered to be among the few disappointments of the more than 40 Swamp Rats he campaigned. Here's the story behind this most misunderstood car.

I saw this car run at Orange County. Butch Maas driving. Great Phil Burgess article.

If you havent ever checked out Dons museum website, its worth a look. There is a section for all the Swamp Rats with a short bio written by Don for all of them. Very informative and a great history lesson on how all the cars came about
