We are so fortunate to have Don Garlits and his museum here in Florida. I have not been to a car show that can come close to this! 50's,60,70's drag history just envelopes and swirls around you here! Top AA/Fuel Chrysler Firepower Blown Hemis litter the place, If you were a motorhead nut of these eras,it just does not get...

My husband is the real fan, but I found enough to keep me interested too. Well organized and full of interesting tidbits throughout. We spent about 2 hours there. Don Garlits was actually there - working in the office - not greeting guests - and my husband was thrilled to see him in person again. If you are a car...

Outstanding history of drag racing displaying the actual cars that shows the development and innovations that occurred in the early years of the sport. You won't find anything like this museum elsewhere in the world. Impossible to really see everything in one day. I was a freelance drag photographer in the sixties and have photographs of many of the cars...

Had a great time here with the kids. My Uncle liked seeing cars he used to drive! The younger kids just could not see driving such big cars.

Just a few minutes of his time and some wonderful photographs to cherish; we all walked away knowing this sport; aka...

If you are into drag racing, you will have hit the jack pot visiting here! There is lots to see! I enjoyed the little human interest stories that accompanied the displays - would like to have seen even more of this. Also, a short film on the history of drag racing would also have been good for those that don't...
