RIP Tom "the Mongoose" Mcewen
Legendary NHRA drag racer Tom 'The Mongoose' McEwen dies at 81
He was an icon back in the day and the rivalry with Don "the Snake" Prudhomme was special. RIP |

Oh man, my brother and I had those cars. I had the mongoose and he had the snake.
RIP Tom.

Yeah! I had that silver mustang. You had to mail order it, and they were hard to get.

ABC Wide World of Sports. Loved this rivalry... I was a Mongoose fan and hated the Cobra...

Unless it was the other way around. One of those guys was definitely my guy and the other absolutely wasn’t. I don’t know. Either way. At any rate, I’m pretty sure it was one of them, if these are the right two guys.

I remember watching WWS and Mongoose and Snake going at it with Dad and my Brother. Dad loved that stuff.
RIP Mr McEwen What about Big Daddy Don Garlits is he still with us?

Yes he is and he is one of BRC's neighbors as he lives in Tampa and is 86. Ever been to his museum over near Gainesville? It is certainly worth the trip. |
