A recently restored interview in 1997 connected the legendary drag racer Don Garlits with controversial figure Bob Lazar, who gained fame for his claims about working on extraterrestrial spacecraft near Area 51.

The connection between the two men was a jet-powered dragster that Bob Lazar owned. "Big Daddy" Don Garlits conducted an interview with Lazar at the time to discuss the vehicle. The conversation went beyond drag racing, delving into Lazar's claims of working on reverse-engineering alien technology at a site called S-4, south of Area 51. Topics included claims about alien propulsion systems and the supposed use of Element 115 to power them.
