Garlits was a bit of a hustler he said one time they were laying down at one race to make the car last for the next race and Shirley was running balls to the wall making them push their engines harder and it pissed him off
People gonna say what they wanna say to get their negative jabs in (comments). However does not matter if you "like or dislike" Shirley .The Fact of the matter is , she WON 3 NHRA World Titles and 1 AHRA World Title and anytime you try and "hate" its just gonna make you look like a jealous idiot! Just Saying :)
Shirley Muldowney is sitting next to her students. Every woman on that stage was taught by Shirley Muldowney on how to race. Each got 100 wins. #100WinsforWomen
We have Leah, we have Alexis, we have Courtney, and of course Enders and between all of them the one who started it all Shirley Muldowney the first lady of the NHRA she taught all of them how to drive.
I/we raced her twice in NHRA AA/FC. I/we beat her once. Our Former AA/FC is at Don Garlits Museum in Ocala FL today. We sold it to Jim Lieberman in 1974.
So I was right about that I met him and 94 in englishtown. I just said a few words to him and I walked away and I said that's a jerk. And then Bill golden Maverick saw that he said come on over here don't even talk to him. So I was right. He tried to get Mavericks Little Red wagon put in his museum and you already had one in there already. Maverick told me that story. We also went out to lunch together he was a lot of fun he was a lot of fun he was a good guy 👍👍👍. Rest in peace buddy ❤️❤️❤️
Trivia-'With Top Gas losing popularity, Muldowney switched to Funny Car, buying her first car from Connie Kalitta. Around this time, her husband and she drifted apart; they finally divorced in 1972. "He didn't want to go nitro racing and we parted, but we stayed friends all those years until he passed away [in 2007]," she later said.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Muldowney
This is true. I like Shirley and I think she was a great driver, but Connie made her. That’s just a fact. Also a fact that Garlits is a fucking legend who whipped her ass plenty of times
@@sergeantmasson3669..... THAT!!....is absolutely True! Personally, I never really liked her... she was always "too full of Herself"! She could (and usually Did) swear worse "than a sailor", as the old saying, goes.
Don is a business man then a racer. These where match races and there was no need to push the motor to damage anything but Shirley was there to win and she did all to do just that. He had to work to win and she was good at what she did so all he had to do was race someone else in match races to put on a show and not race Shirley.

She still needed all the innovations and techniques that he came up with to even get close...
Everybody needed all the innovations to get close. Not only her.
God's Balls!!! All the current top fuel/funny car women are badass and freaking beautiful!!! 😍😍😍

She would have never made the big time without Connie.

You gotta remember, nobody would've made it without somebody.
Why would someone say such a thing.
William Wilhite, Don Garlits did more for her than Connie ever did.
