Here is Don Garlits smoking the tires in “Swamp Rat 1” on an exhibition pass at the twenty-fifth NHRA U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis Raceway Park. This car was the first in the long line of “Swamp Rat” Dragsters, and you can see it today at Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala, Florida just off Interstate 75.
