Detroit Dragway Legends in their own time, setting landmark records, thrilling the masses with their drive for speed. Detroit Dragway had some of the greatest names in drag racing that became known for their major contributions in drag racing history: Connie Kalitta set the 1st official record for going 200 mph & has developed his name, Kalitta Motorsports, into one of the most innovative, technical engineering, names in the Nitro, Full Throttle, Mopar & Funny Car drag racing community. Although the Greek & a few other race car drivers that started racing before Detroit Dragway ever existed, will dispute who was the actual first to break the 200 mph barrier, I'm sure a few of the top ten did it before it was ever officially recorded. Kalitta chose the name the "Bounty Hunter" because of his passion to win & check off each of the racers whose names he once had listed on the side of one of his dragsters, Don Nicholson became synonymous with the dynamometer fondly known "Dyno" Don Nicholson, Don Garlits Speed Shop became the "Swamp Rat" by the suggestion of a friend that knew Don as a skinny kid from the Florida swamps, Chris Karamesines, being of Greek descent, became known as the "Golden Greek" Al Bergler, who also built his machines from scratch, is pictured here in a dragster coupe named "More Aggravation", won the very 1st Riddler Award with later fame of the "Motown Shaker" & some others, well remembered that Joe Stevens captured on professional film are included among this collection such as the Logghe Brothers, Poncho Rendez, Dick Harrell, the Ramchargers, Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick and Della Woods, are just some of the drag racing legends who left their mark on Detroit Dragway history.
