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

There was a car you had to get by mail they didn't sell it in stores called the boss hoss. It was a silver mustang trimmed in flat black. It was heavier than other cars so it kicked ass on downhill tracks.

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

Yeah, me too. Huge fan back in the days.

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.

Yep - that's the one I had. I haven't seen it in a while - it might have gone to the great backyard burial - after my Mom's been letting my little cousins play with my cars for years.

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.
