Don Garlits\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 first drag race car was built under an oak tree at his home in North Tampa in 1954. He used an electric welder and a gas torch to modify an old 1927 Ford Model \u00e2\u20ac\u0153T\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Roadster to accept a 1948 Mercury block, a 1939 Ford floor shift transmission, and a 1948 Ford differential and axle. That early T-Bucket&#8217;s quarter mile performance was a 13.5 second elapsed time, at a top speed of 93 mph. It was this successful, formative roadster that would give Don the beginnings of his first rail-type dragster. He took off the body, moved the engine back and located the seat behind the drive axle, a design invented that same year by Mickey Thompson. This would be the 12.1 second, 108 mph slingshot dragster with which Big Daddy would win the first NHRA race he entered, when the NHRA Safety Safari came to Lake City, Florida.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Don Garlits&#8217; Wynnscharger Dragster 1:25 Scale MPC Model Kit #810.
