Platt was long ago cemented in drag folklore for a series of Fords, that he called the Georgia Shaker. A South Carolina native, Platt cut his teeth in the Stock and Super Stock ranks, elevating himself to the F/X classes when the Super Stocks began morphing into the wild blown, nitro-burning Funny Cars. He became an instant crowd favorite for his sky-grabbing wheelstands as he came off the line. He was a contemporary of such other Dixie legends as 'Dyno Don' Nicholson, Phil Bonner, his brother Huston Platt, and the ageless Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick, among many others.
