Snake vs Mongoose Book

Snake vs Mongoose Book
This hardbound book is 160 pages of mostly B&W photos (some color) and stories by Tom Madigan.

Don 'the Snake' Prudhomme vs. Tom 'the Mongoose' McEwen.  Their racing feud made headlines for years.  But it wasn't until toymaker Mattel entered the picture and made the Snake and Mongoose Funny Car rivalry a Hot Wheels promotion that drag racing became a multimillion-dollar business. 

Snake vs Mongoose tells the story of the very real rivalry - the drivers, the kids Mattel introduced to the sport, and some of the best drag racing of the era.  And along the way. the book captures the transformation of drag racing from the gritty, gut-driven sport of the 1960s into the full-fledged money-making machine it is today.
