Yes, very nice interview Jenny. I once met Garlits at our local drag strip in Omaha, NE. It was in the early '70s, he raced Steve Carbone more or less as exhibition, he didn't win, but did set the mph record at 243+ ended up in the corn field at the end of the track, luckily that was the third and last race of the day, he did win one round, but I'll be darned if I can remember which one. We talked to him in the pits, just a very nice guy. :)
