Gee... I don't see Don in that picture. When I first met him in 1961 he appeared older than the guy in that photo.

Hmmm...well I don't know what to say. The photo came from National Dragster, and identified him as Don Garlits behind the counter, and it's his Speed Shop, in 1971. Sure looks like him to me.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
