Henry Snelgrove, Sr. can be credited (Blamed?) for beginning the family’s racing career. Back in the late ‘60s, he began bracket racing his ’57 Chevy at dragstrips like Tampa Dragway, Sunshine Dragway, Lakeland Dragway and Twin City Dragway near his hometown of Seffner, Florida; also known as the home of the legendary “Big Daddy” Don Garlits. In fact, his family was within “hollerin’ distance” from Garlits, who lived across the lake from them.
