A man and his wife stoped by my shop last year. He had drag raced against Don Garlits when Don was starting out. The first race Don had one of the Plymouth’s with the headlights set on an angle. He looked at them and noticed the bottom set didn’t have headlights in them. Don had run a hose from them to the carburetor. He protested and won. Next race Don had sone small wheels on the front of his car. He protested again, won again and of course won both races. The way he said it Don was madder than hell.
