The Swamp Rat XXX was an incredible machine. Powered by a Keith Black derivative of the legendary Dodge “Hemi” motor, this machine harnessed more than 3000 horsepower into speeds unheard of a decade before. This wild and innovative racing machine had reshaped the design of the top fuel dragster forever and enabled Garlits to win the 1986 NHRA Top Fuel Championship. During the 1986 season at the Gatornationals, he blasted through the quarter mile at a speed of 272.56 miles per hour. A record setting run that made Big Daddy the fastest man in the sport at the time.
