This is one of Don's regular "Cacklefest Cars"....this car is a recreation of Swamp Rat 12-A.

Very cool to see him out there doing this.

I first saw Don Garlits in 1964 at Fontana, California. From '64 until I was drafted in 1969 (Vietnam) I spent a good part of my life at SoCal drag strips ~ Lions, OCIR, Irwindale, Fontana and Pomona and I can tell you that drag racing in the 60's was the most fun I ever had. Back then even the strongest top fuel cars had only 2 or 3 guys in the crew, no spare anything, worked 40 hr. a week jobs and kept their cars in the garage next to the washer & dryer. My favorite; Tom "Mongoose" McEwen

Gartlits is and always will be the KING of fuel dragsters.

He is also one very nice guy.

I also loved the push trucks as much as the dragsters.

MAN I THINK I JUST DIED & WENT TO SLINGSHOT HEAVEN LOL!!!!!!!!

[Hankhill90210]

nice this is cool, got any racing action from this event

[mrgears]

@Hankhill90210---- I don't think you'll see any of these cars ever race again. They are all museum pieces that just happen to run. They are displayed as they were in the 1960s, no way could they come close to passing tech today.

I was there at beechbend loved all the gassers and all the racing. My son Trevor couldnt get enough of it. Cacklefest was awesome should of been called mediafest all the people in orange vests blocked all the spectators who payed there hard earned money 2 see it. Saw more on this video. Special thanks 2 Barb Hamilton who let me my brother Jeff and kids see what view she has been seeing all these years. Great show Long live the gasser era!!!!
