About this episode
This episode features Don Garlits, a pioneer of drag racing who transformed the sport into a national phenomenon.
Strap in and fire it up. This podcast has the man, the machine, and a quarter mile of pure nerve. They call him Big Daddy Don Garlits, the pioneer who changed drag racing forever. He was a multiple world champion, founder of the legendary swamp rat dragsters and a hall of fame icon, whose name still echoes down the strip every time the lights drop. Garlits helped turn drag racing into a national spectacle – speed, science and fearless determination. (Photo shows WOKY's Barney Pip and I with our trophies won at the Great Lakes Dragway.)
