Legendary drag racer and Ocala resident "Big Daddy" Don Garlits had his Swamp Rat I-B on display, which was built in 1959 by Don. In 1961 Garlits turned 204.54 mph at Grainbridge, GA to become the 2nd car in drag racing over 200 mph. Garlits used this vintage Top Fuel car to participate in the "Cacklefest", where a bunch of the vintage nitro burning cars are push started, and allowed to "cackle" simultaneously on the starting line....much to the delight of the crowd.
