The “Garlits vs. Gwynn: Match Races for a Cause” racing series will kick off in Gainesville at the Gainesville Raceway with a best of three series of races between Gwynn and Garlits each day of the Gatornationals. The two stoic rivals will race down the track in custom built DieHard Battery Powered Replica Dragsters that were built by Brad Hadman, designed by Mike Gerry and graphics by Eric Reyes. Don Garlits and Darrell Gwynn will race each other at several soon to be announced NHRA events this year as part of “Garlits vs. Gwynn: Match Races for a Cause” as they raise awareness and money for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation and Don Garlits Museum of Drag racing, Inc. and celebrate the NHRA’s 60th Anniversary.
