2020 Big Daddy Don Garlits, talks about helping Shirley Muldowney get her NHRA license
In Feb of 2020, The Biggest Legend In Drag Racing, Big Daddy Don Garlits tells us a little bit about the support his first wife gave him during his racing years and how he first felt about women in a dangerous sport. This is just one clip from the 1 hr video. Hot Rod Hanna got to sit and talk with Don about many subjects. As Don turned 88 yrs old this year, there is nothing slowing this man down. We got to learn and hear some great stories of his life growing up with the need for speed and about his junk yard days and building his race cars. Stay tuned for the rest of our great interview with the king of NHRA drag racing. or see more at www.MotorHeadM...

Big Daddy and his museum are national treasures. He epitomizes how great drag racing used to be.
Don Garlits is the coolest guy ever
If you’re ever in Ocala , stop by his museum you will not be disappointed .
I loved watching Big Daddy Don Garlits and the Swamp Rat growing up. Fond memories of me and my Dad
Happy 90th birthday Big Daddy Don Garlits ;-)
Two legends of the sport. I meet Don Garlits and Shirley Muldowney at a Car show in Toronto. I still have the 1 litre bottle of Kendall oil that he signed.
I always enjoyed walking through the pits at big events to see all the huge crews working feverishly between rounds on their fuellers and then walk by Garlits working solo on his while talking non-stop to the fans that gathered around him to watch the master at work.

In the mid to late 70s, my cousin, Ron Barrow, was his crew chief
Don Garlits signed my NHRA top fuel application also. Today, my former NHRA AA/FC car is at his museum in Ocala FL.
Big and Cha Cha. My Heroes!
Big Daddy has always been the BEST, always . Some of the first times was over 50 years ago when I first saw Big Daddy .

This girl is completely out of her league.
I saw Mr. Don and Shirley race , Don in his sidewinder I think at Orange County intl. raceway. still have finish line pic,, can see the exhaust in front and behind engine (SIDEWINDER)
If your going to interview the Grandfather of drag racing about the first NHRA licenced female driver and the greatest female driver. You might want to at least watch the movie first. Oh and put the mic on the person your interviewing, not the interviewer.
In 1999 I was there with knut Söderqvist (R.I.P), Knutte brought with him carbon fiber intake that was to be mounted on TF dragsters in the Museum. Then we moved on to Ganesville for the Gatornationals who had their 30th anniversary that year . .... “Alcohol is for drinking, gas is for cleaning parts, and nitro is for racing!” - Don Garlits

Milan is my favorite (local) place to race!
Gees Louise , put a microphone on Big Daddy and tell this woman to stop with the “ uh-huh , yeah “ that ruined the interview.
That was a really cool story it's a shame drag racing broke up her marriage.
They were all friends and family from the beginning- don was like the father of saftey hated seeing injured or death of his racers
Cute but nervous blonde. Legend Garlits. 👍🏻🇺🇸

Loved watching Garlits when I was a kid
This little girl mulldowny scared the crap out of the big boys
Easiest guy to interview ever and the blabbering interviewer made this beyond awkward, My 16 year old students could do a better job.

I agree, shut your mouth and you will learn something. If you want to be heard speak up if you want to seen stand up if you want to be respected shut up
Everybody's forgetting about Bunny Burkett! I miss the hell out of Raceway Park, Old Bridge!!
Imagine having Garlits, Ivo, and Kalita sign off on your license.
He kept it a buck!! 💯
Don Garlits / TV Tommy Ivo Connie Kallita. It doesn't get any bigger than that.
Here we go.... UHG!!!!!!!
Terrible interviewer...Don, as always, is cool!
Can’t believe this ole timer is still alive

Not remotely in a million years is Muldowney better than Big! Also just an FYI, I used to race, have been side by side with Garlits and Muldowney many times...Shirley overall is a bitch. To anyone at anytime. The stories of her being a bitch are endless. I have seen it in person.
