Quarter Mile Foundation at PRI Trade Show - Where we are
The
Quarter Mile Foundation will have a sizeable footprint at the 2011
Performance Racing Industry Trade Show, December 1-3 at the Orange
County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
Working
in conjunction with the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show staff,
the Foundation will have a strong floor presence with the display of Don
Garlits’ iconic Swamp Rat XIII in booth 801. The legendary
front-engined Top Fuel dragster has been loaned to the Foundation and
the Show, marking the first time it has appeared outside of Garlits’
Drag Racing Museum in Ocala, Fla. following its reconstruction after the
transmission explosion at Lions Drag Strip on March 8, 1970.
Joining
the Swamp Rat XIII will be the Foundation’s “Vintage Rat” 555 inch
Chevy raffle engine, the last engine built by the legendary Joe Mondello
at the Mondello Technical Center in Crossville, Tenn. The engine will
be displayed in the Foundation booth on Thursday and Friday, before it
is moved to the World Products booth (2523) for the drawing at 3:00 PM
on Saturday, December 3.
The
Foundation will also be conducting interviews for the PROJECT 1320
documentary in an interview room provided by the PRI Trade Show

first person interviews, comprising over 100 hours of recollections from
the pioneers of drag racing and the performance aftermarket.
