Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing

Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing, Automobile museum in Ocala, Florida.

The Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing is an automobile museum in Ocala, Florida, focused entirely on the history of drag racing. It displays dragsters, funny cars, and related equipment from different decades, alongside photographs, trophies, and documents that trace how the sport developed.

Don Garlits opened the museum in 1984, after a career as a professional drag racer, with his own collection as the starting point. The collection has since grown through donations and acquisitions, and now covers the sport from its early days to its modern form.

The museum takes its name from Don Garlits, one of the most recognized figures in drag racing history. Walking through the halls, visitors can see trophies, photographs, and personal objects that show how the sport was shaped by the dedication of specific drivers and crews.

The museum is located on a main road in Ocala, with on-site parking that makes it easy to reach by car. A visit typically takes a few hours, as the cars and displays are spread across more than one building.

The museum holds the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame, whose inductees are chosen each year by a committee of veteran drag racing and performance industry figures. The ceremony takes place in Gainesville, Florida, alongside the NHRA Gatornationals. Inductees include Art Arfons, Sydney Allard, Zora Arkus-Duntov, Shirley Muldowney, Kenny Bernstein and Don Schumacher.
