Don Garlits, 1970


While the promotion has Don Garlits racing at Eugene, OR, in 1970 it seems it was too soon after his big wreck earlier in the year. That was the accident that got the rear engine fueler up and running and changed the look of drag racing forever.

But Don was there, it's just that Marvin Schwartz was driving. A four car show that had Tommy Ivo, Don Prudhomme and Jerry Ruth with Big Daddy in the neighbourhood? I'd pay to see that every time.
