Lots of visitors in Gainesville as the 50th Gatornationals cranked up today. My brothers loved that event when they were younger. Don Garlits will be there against Shirley Muldowney I hear. The Snake Prudhome and other old timers.......
To celebrate the 50th year of this iconic event, NHRA’s most beloved figures from the early days of drag racing are coming together for the completion of the NHRA Legends Tour and one colossal blowout. Never before have so many NHRA legends been gathered in one place. Among the drivers expected to attend are “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, Kenny Bernstein, Joe Amato, Ed “The Ace” McCulloch, “The Bounty Hunter” Connie Kalitta, and “Big” Jim Dunn.
