The Swamp Rat XXX was an incredible machine. Powered by a Keith Black derivative of the legendary Dodge "Hemi" motor, this machine harnessed more than 3000 horsepower into speeds unheard of a decade before. This wild and innovative racing machine had reshaped the design of the top fuel dragster forever and enabled Garlits to win the 1986 NHRA Top Fuel Championshup. During the 1986 season at the Gatornationals, he blasted through the quarter mile at a speed of 272.56 miles per hour. A record-setting run that made Big Daddy the fastest man in the sport at that time.
Donald Glenn Garlits (born January 14, 1932, Tampa, Florida) is an American race car driver and automotive engineer. Considered the father of drag racing, he is known as "Big Daddy" to drag racing fans around the world. A pioneer in the field of drag racing, he perfected the rear-engine Top Fuel dragster, an innovation motivated by the loss of part of his foot in a dragster accident. This design was notably safer since it put most of the fuel processing and rotating parts of the dragster behind the driver. The driver was placed in front of nearly all the mechanical components, thus protecting him and allowing him to activate a variety of safety equipment in the event of catastrophic mechanical failure or a fire. Garlits was an early promoter of the full-body, fire-resistant Nomex driving suit, complete with socks, gloves, and balaclava.
Garlits was the first drag racer to officially surpass the 170, 180, 200,[citation needed] 240, 250, and 270 mile-per-hour marks in the quarter mile; he was also the first to top 200 mph (320 km/h) in the 1⁄8 mi (0.20 km). He has been inducted into several Halls of Fame and has won many awards during his career.
Top Fuel is a type of drag racing whose dragsters are the quickest accelerating racing cars in the world and the fastest sanctioned category of drag racing, with the fastest competitors reaching speeds of 338 miles per hour (544.0 km/h) and finishing the 1,000 foot (304.8 m) runs in 3.62 seconds.
At maximum throttle and RPM, the exhaust gases escaping from a dragster's open headers produce about 900-1,100 pounds-force (4.0-4.9 kN) of downforce. The massive airfoil over and behind the rear wheels produces much more, peaking at around 12,000 pounds-force (53.4 kN) when the car reaches about 330 mph (531.1 km/h).
The engine of a Top Fuel dragster generates around 150 dB of sound at full throttle, enough to cause physical pain or even permanent damage. Before a run, race announcers usually advise spectators to cover or plug their ears. Ear plugs and even earmuffs are often handed out to fans at the entrance of a Top Fuel event.
The most prolific active driver in Top Fuel is Tony Schumacher and the most successful crew chief is Alan Johnson, who was the crew chief for six of Schumacher's championships, the back-to-back titles won by driver Gary Scelzi and was the crew chief for his brother Blaine for his entire professional career.[citation needed] The first female driver in the Top Fuel category is also the most associated female in the drag racing world, Shirley Muldowney, who won three championships during her career

A beautiful build! Thankful Atlantis does what they do. Modeling has made a great comeback in recent years I think. I really enjoy building the kits again I had when I was younger. At 71 years old it brings some much needed diversion,fond memories and happiness to my world. Thank you.

An absolutely beautiful build! Watch Big run this car at Memphis back in the day. Don is a dear friend I've seen and talked to him many times at his Drag Racing Museum. Great job Atlantis!!! Remastering the older molds, and offering fantastic examples of the early kits is fantastic. The '57 Chevy Bel-Air by Atlantis brings back so many memories of childhood. 🙂

I remember my mom bought me that model kit at wyinns back in the 80s growing up as a kid garlits was my superman. That's my favorite model kit....

Very nice, just to hopefully help out. The item you refer to as coolant lines and tank are actually a crankcase catch tank. All crank case pressure is vented thru it and the tank is Bomb proof just to keep things from making it to the track.

Don and my uncle Don "Skip" Tuttle were longtime friends.... my uncle would go down to Dons house in Florida each winter and theyd go to speed week together in Daytona. I love to see the RFC decals on the decal sheet! I have the same on my BMX bikes :)

I built the OG kit way back when and have another sitting in my stash. Now, thanks to you, I've ordered both the SR XXX and Mongoose's dragster. Love seeing these old drag kits coming back and your vids building them. Thanks!

Both of these kits are quite impressive. The chassis on the Don Garlits one looks very intricate but at least it came together fairly easily, and I like the additional details in the Tom McEwen car, particularly the "Christmas tree" and the seated driver figure. I knew this build was going to be interesting the moment I saw the thumbnail for this video, and if you put the two cars together both with seated drivers plus the track official, it would make a nice drag strip diorama.

I learned blue prints from building Revell Model cars, I've been in aerospace for almost 40 years, To this day I still use those skills I learned.

The greatest, most important Top Fueler of all time. The greatest Drag Racing vehicle of all time. SR 30 is in a class by itself

No, it is in storage in the basement, government will not authorize return to Big

@hakanpersson8601 Ай бұрын

Yes the 30 is at Smitsonian but Garlits had 2 different streamline dragsters that looked similar, Swamp Rat 30 and Swamp Rat 31, both flipped over and the 31 is at Garlits own museum in the chrashed state.

What a great build. I built, the U.S Army top fuel "The Sarge" a few years back. Driven by Tony Schumacher. That was a fun kit to build. And if my memory is right. It was Don Garlits was the first driver to sign Sherry Muldowney licenses to drive top fuel

Don Garlits' Swamp Rat with a Keith Black engine. Keith's "cam ground piston" technology is used in EVERY gasoline engine in the World today. Aluminum pistons deform in a steel cylinder at running temps. In the early days round pistons deformed to egg shaped. Old cars would burn oil and smoke when warm. This cost power in dragsters. Keith made his pistons egg shaped (Cam Ground) when cold. After warm up they distorted to round making them "leak proof" WINNERS. Keith Black engines powered the winners.
