Exploring the Thrilling History of the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing

This isn't quite the same as being there, there's SO much to see and take in. But, get comfortable and come along for a full tour of both buildings FULL of cars, parts, and memorabilia.
This is a must see if you love drag racing and anything automotive in general. Put it on your bucket list.

I was at his museum years ago and met his Dad. I saw the A7 there and loved seeing it on the stand. I'm partial to them since i worked on A7Es in the late 70s for the Navy. What a memory of that place. I even saw Don race at the old CT dragway. What a great man!

Totally agree, I am already planning a return trip. Prior to this time, I hadn't been since the mid 80s.

This is a bucket list item for any drag racing enthusiast.

I went years ago when I was a kid while my family was on vacation on our way to Disney World. Got lucky because he was there working on a car. Got his autograph with a grease smudge on the page which I lost a long time ago but still have the picture he took with my dad.

Great memory. I went as a young kid in the mid 80s. Now, into my 40s... had to go back. I dragged my girlfriend who had never been. Don is in his 90s now, hopefully he'll be around for many years to come.

I thought I saw signs along the road to a trip to Florida , my wife wouldn't let me stop, it was around 50 years ago! Don't know we're this one is?

This one is in Ocala Florida, right off of I-75. My better half actually was on board with going, we planned it as part of our vacation.
