Snake vs. Mongoose
« on: July 22, 2013, 07:44:02 AM »
Drag racers, not animals!
I can relate a little more to this movie then Rush and F1.

I saw the Snake and Mongoose race many times at Island Dragway here in NJ back in the 1960's.

Prostock was great in those days. Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins was my favorite. His engines just screamed and he was great on the tree. Saw him many times at Island Dragway.
