Don Garlits recounts how his revolutionary rear-engine dragster faced intense skepticism—even from his friends at Chrysler. After months of struggles and doubts, and on the verge of abandoning the project, a small steering adjustment changed everything. The car went straight as an arrow, setting records and quickly heading to California, where Don won the Winternationals and the U.S. Fuel and Gas Championships. | Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum

Here they are—two of the greatest legends in drag racing history. Big Daddy Don Garlits, the pioneer whose innovations changed the sport forever. And Don “Snake” Prudhomme, the fearless king of the quarter-mile. Two icons, two styles, one legacy—pushing limits and shaping the golden era of drag racing. This is the moment where history meets horsepower. #legend #dragracing #legends | Insect Racing
