Garlits is one of the most prolific record setters and innovators ever to blast the quarter mile, and the cars he has chosen to display in his museum illustrate the sport's history like no other collection does. In this book, author Mike Mueller takes an in-depth look at the cream of the crop, the most significant cars in Big Daddy's museum, and probably the most significant cars in all of drag racing.

From primitive machines like The Bug - so rough it'll tear your pants - to Garlits own Swamp Rat 34 - a high-tech top fueler with thousands of horsepower on tap, and everything in between. Funny cars, Pro/Stocks, Fuel Coupes, roadsters, streamliners, Super Stocks, Gassers and more - this book covers them all, with spectacular color photos of the restored machines, right alongside vintage black-and-white images from Garlits' own collection.

Mueller holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Illinois and has worked as an automotive journalist for many years, covering much racing and racing history. He worked on the staff of Super Ford and Mopar Muscle magazines from 1987 to 1991, and his articles have also appeared in numerous other respected automotive publications. He currently lives in Kennesaw, Georgia.
