On Wednesday Garlits took an all electric dragster down the 1320 in 7.26 seconds at 184.01 mph. Electric, mind you. 0 - 60 mph in less than one second. The kicker? That was the first full pass down the strip for the dragster. The real kicker? Big Daddy is 82 fucking years old!

All of Mr. Garlits' dragsters have been named 'Swamp Rat'. This iteration is Swamp Rat 37.

Garlits has won 17 national championships, w/144 wins over a nearly 70 year career. I've been following him since I was a boy.

Go, Big Daddy, go!
