Vintage Detroit Dragway Ad - Don Garlits vs Pete Robinson Drag Racing, July 11

This is a scanned vintage newspaper advertisement promoting a drag racing event at Detroit Dragway. The ad headlines a match race between Don Garlits, billed as the '180-MPH World Champion,' and Pete Robinson, described as driving a '187-MPH Ford-Powered Dragster.' The event also promises 'Big Super Stocks' in addition to the featured dragster match. The race is scheduled for Saturday, July 11, with time trials beginning at 6 P.M. and racing starting at 8 P.M. The venue is identified as Detroit Dragway, located at Sibley at Dix, one mile east of Telegraph. The ad notes that children under 12 are admitted free and that parking is free. Two telephone numbers are provided for information: LI 4-7911 and AV 4-4920 (old exchange-name style phone numbers, indicating a 1960s-era publication). No specific year is printed in the ad itself. This document is historical racing memorabilia rather than a technical reference; it contains no fuse data, wiring information, part numbers, or vehicle-specific service content. It was uploaded to a 1972 Ford Ranchero gallery, but the ad predates that vehicle and does not reference any specific production vehicle.
