A real shame, a few seconds after you shot the second pic (left hand lane)... my engine let go !!!!Garlits Drag Racing Museum ............ great place, I visited in December 2010. Could have spent my whole holiday in there. Seeing the actual cars I used to see pictures of in Hot Rod magazine back in the early 70's. The stuff in there is mind-blowing.
Plus, there's a second building packed with rare cars .... where do I start to tell you what's in there ?
Best of all, I met the Main Man himself. What an absolute diamond geezer. I was lost for words, and that doesn't often happen !!!!
He took us round his private workshops where you'd not normally have access. Showed us his Rat-Rod which was under construction & the 2010 Hemi Challenger that Dodge had given him to bracket race, amongst lots of other rarities.
Spent over 2 hours with him, drinking coffee, nagging, putting the world-to-rights and talking racing. He was very interested in the fine detail of my race car and now actually has a pic of it on the wall of his office no-less !!!

Apologies for late reply !!!!!!!!!!!
No won't be at the finals - it's mid November now, so I've well & truly missed them.
Damaged the engine at 2012 Finals - haven't rebuilt it yet !!
You're welcome to a Stella when I see you next ! Howway the toon !

Wondering if you you'll spare us a Stella or two!
