No, this is not "trick photography", this is a short wheelbase car!! Always the innovator, "Big Daddy" Don Garlits has proven many times over the years that he is not afraid to try a new idea. This seldom seen "shorty" Top Fuel Dragster is a perfect example. The car was built in the early '70's after Garlits had enjoyed much success with the standard style, long wheelbase rear engined car that he changed the face of drag racing with. Did this one work? How many others have you seen?
