My wife and I were in Florida two weeks ago for our grand daughter's high school graduation. The Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing ( https://garlits.com/ ) is awesome and will really bring back nostalgic memories for baby boomers that lived the golden age of drag racing. Besides several hundred cars, the museum is choke full of personal memorabilia of Mr. Garlits. You see a service garage receipt dated 1955 for a new crank shaft well under $50 and can imagine the young adult at the beginning of his passion.
He is 92, still active, and lives in a very modest home on the museum grounds. My wife and even my teen grand daughters enjoyed the museum.
Here's a good collection of photos to whet your appetite: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...Daddy-Don-Garlits-Drag-Racing-Museum-Ocala-FL
