Most every drag racing fan will proclaim "Big Daddy" Don Garlits as the greatest drag racer who ever strapped himself into a dragster. But mention it to Garlits, and he will say he never liked being branded this. Instead, he offers, "I'm just me."
Garlits, the man who advanced safety in the Top Fuel division further than anyone, learned how to drag race by growing up in a family affected by the great depression. He carried the banner in a male-dominated sport and when a talented female driver made her way into the ranks, did his best to win one for the boys all the time.
In this Legends: The Series, Garlits discusses his upbringing, as well as the occupation he nearly had before being led into cars. He'll also discuss his proudest moments as well as a couple of racing fatalities that touched his heart deeply. Garlits also revealed his complicated relationship with Wally Parks and how the love of his family fueled his success.
Tony Christian is many things but shy isn't one of them. The former Modified eliminator icon who stepped up to NHRA Pro Stock before making the move into the Pro Street world, has enjoyed a colorful drag racing career.
Christian didn't win as many races as Bob Glidden or Lee Shepherd, but during his time he stood toe to toe with them. From Pro Stock, Christian came over into the Pro Street movement where he was one of the pioneering icons in the world's fastest street movement.
Christian leads a much easier life these days as a crew chief on Dan Stevenson's Pro Modified entry. In this latest instalment of Legends: The Series, Christian discusses the good old days of gear-jamming Modifieds and the days when he held his own against the giants of NHRA Pro Stock.

Two drivers featured as part of the Legends: The Series program will officially be inducted into the Don Garlits Drag Racing Hall of Fame tonight in Gainesville, Fla. Here's a chance to se their stories in their own words.
Young men are apt to do whatever it takes to secure the admiration and love of a young lady. For 16-time NHRA champion John Force, trying to tame an ornery AA/Fuel Altered on an LA County backroad probably wasn't the brightest idea to try and impress the young lady who would eventually become his wife. Well it is John Force we are talking about, and of course, there's a blooper reel at the end.
We can only imagine the celebration if this Top Fuel driver wins; which we believe will happen this season.
Scott Palmer and members of the CAPCO crew celebrate his first ever final round appearance the best way they know how with throttle wacks on a nitro car.
These teams epitomize everything fuel racing used to be about.
