Wait a minute...

Garlits set a sub-7-second pass at Island Dragway, not 200 mph.

Sorry for the error.

You’d like Island Dragway just the same. It’s a mom & pop operation, but very professionally run. Very friendly people on and off the track!

the sub 7second came years later! Found this on the net:

My only recollection that differs is I thought he was on the inside lane but the video shows the outside one and did not pick up the ending past the race surface.

Those were the days!!
