I like you article about not rod reunion, however you have misquoted the facts about rear engined dragsters. Garlitts did not invent the rear engined dragster. Please review the facts. Yes Garlits was the first driver to win with a RED but it was developed by the Kaiser Brothers, Widmer and Mark Williams from Denver. Please check the NHRA hall of fame info about Jr. Kaiser and correct this info.
Thank you Frank for your correction.
