Post by zipidachimp on 01/04/15 at 12:56:45

Just saw a youtube video of Don Garlits going for 200mph in an electric Swamp Rat 37. At age 82!!!
Got 11 years to get ready, haha :D :D :D :D :D!

I've always liked Don :D His museum in Ocala Florida is really nice, not too far from where my parents retired down there.

Just seeing him still active is enough to make me happy. And I like Force,too. The man,not because of his success.
I think the rear tires could be redesigned with a rib going to a circle around the wheel, so they don't change gears so quick due to increased diameter,which decreases surface area of tires on the road.

Wow .. warms my hear to see him still out there doing what he loves. Back in the day... ( early 70's) I lived up north and out west ( Idaho).. so I got all wround up over the Snake versus the Mongoose story. Mattels "hot Wheels" fueled my craving even more. I did get to seem the race.
