Bob Osiecki\u2019s winged wonder Mad Dog IV, which shattered the international closed-course speed record at Daytona International Speedway in 1961, now calls the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America home.<\/p>\n

The unusual looking machine was designed (with a little help from Georgia Tech) and built by Bob Osiecki, who hired drag racer Art Malone to wheel it to a record lap of 181.561 mph.<\/p>\n

The current car owner, legendary drag racer Don Garlits (MSHFA Class of 1989), has put the airplane-like speed machine on display at the award-winning museum, which is only a few hundred feet from where it made its history-making run. Garlits pulled the car from his collection at the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly think that\u2019s where the car should be, over there at the round-track museum and the car made that speed at Daytona,\u201d the 90-year-old Garlits said. \u201cTo me, that\u2019s the perfect place for Mad Dog IV.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mad Dog IV was placed with other notable vehicles on the racetrack exhibit, which replicates Daytona\u2019s high-banked turns. It is truly a place of honor for Daytona-specific motorsports machines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to \u2018Big Daddy,\u2019 our very first inductee in the Drag Racing category back in 1989, for lending us this important vehicle and one that we know is close to his heart,\u201d said MSHFA President George Levy. \u201cHe and Malone were great friends and on-track rivals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story of Mad Dog IV\u2019s creation is one for the ages. It was purpose-built for only one job \u2013 bring the closed-course international speed record to Daytona.<\/p>\n

Bill France Sr. (MSHFA Class of 1990), who orchestrated NASCAR\u2019s founding then built Daytona International Speedway, was a sports visionary with a flair for promotion.<\/p>\n

When the fastest, closed-track speed record was established at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza (Italy) in 1957 at 177.38 mph, France wanted to get those bragging rights and put up a $10,000 prize for anyone who could top the 180 mph mark at his 2.5-mile, high-banked track, which opened in 1959.<\/p>\n

Many tried and failed, including Osiecki, who made three attempts with various cars before seeking engineering advice from John J. Harper, who was an aerospace professor at Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n

The Kurtis Kraft roadster with a Chrysler V8 engine was one of three used by Firestone as a test car for its tires in 1957. Osiecki bought the car from the tiremaker, figuring it had the power needed to chase France\u2019s money.<\/p>\n

Tom Osiecki, who is Bob Osiecki\u2019s youngest son, said his father sought technical advice from the Georgia Tech aerospace department.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad attended Georgia Tech for a while and knew people there,\u201d Tom Osiecki said. \u201cHe did a mockup of the car and took it to the school\u2019s wind tunnel. He thought they could invert some wings to put downforce on it and they came up with the right angles, and how big the wings needed to be, and built a stabilizer so the back of the car wouldn\u2019t go crazy. It was a real challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a story on Georgia Tech\u2019s website (gatech.edu), Osiecki sought Harper\u2019s expertise with airplanes to stabilize the car at speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Osiecki decided to take on France\u2019s challenge, he knew he needed to make adjustments to his car to counter the centrifugal force from the track\u2019s high-banked curves, which tore away tire rubber at high speeds and made steering almost impossible,\u201d the article says.<\/p>\n

\u201cOsiecki shipped the Mad Dog IV from Charlotte, North Carolina to the (Georgia Tech) Guggenheim Building, where Harper also oversaw the daily operations of the 9-foot diameter wind tunnel located on the ground floor. The professor and his students designed and tested a pair of inverted airfoils \u2014 wings, in effect \u2014 each one measuring 3 square feet. Harper also created a vertical stationary tail fin, similar to an airplane rudder, for increased stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Osiecki had the right package \u2013 a car with wings and a tailfin \u2013 he needed a fearless driver at the wheel and hired 25-year-old Malone, known as a drag racer. They made the record run over the 31-degree banked turns on August 28, 1961. He spun once in a practice run and flat-spotted the left rear tire, which remains on the car to this day.<\/p>\n

According to the Georgia Tech article, \u201cOn that balmy August afternoon in Daytona . . . the Mad Dog IV\u2019s \u201cwings and tail held the car steady though the tortuous turns and down the breathless straightaways,\u201d setting a new standard for speed. It was \u201cobvious that the soft-spoken Harper is pleased at having helped wed science and racing to give the fans more thrills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Osiecki said his father spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $35,000 to put Mad Dog IV together. \u201cAnd dad only got half the ($10,000) prize money,\u201d he added. \u201cHe gave half the winnings to Art for driving the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Osiecki said his father promoted car shows around the country and figured he could recoup his investment by showcasing \u201cThe Fastest Race Car in the World.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cArt and I were buddies,\u201d Garlits said. \u201cWe went to school together from the fifth grade. Him and I were inseparable. When he set that record over there, well, I was into wings. I was the one that brought wings into drag racing. It was a really great car. Art told me before he died that Bob\u2019s son had it and might sell it, so I bought it and I\u2019m sure glad I did because it\u2019s a piece of history. We got it and it ain\u2019t gonna go anyplace. I think sending it over to Daytona is the right thing to do. Let the fans of racing see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMad Dog IV is the epitome of American innovation,\u201d Levy said. \u201cBill France wanted to claim Daytona International Speedway was the world\u2019s fastest racetrack. When it was clear an existing race car wasn\u2019t going to cut it, Osiecki and Harper came up with the idea of inverted wings for downforce. They broke the record and helped launch the Downforce Era.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
