Snake vs. Mongoose : how a rivalry changed drag racing forever
Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme and Tom 'Mongoose' Madigan - the racing feud between these two had been making headlines for years, but it was not until Mattel became interested in this bitter battle that drag racing became a multi-million dollar industry, and made their Funny Car rivalry a Hot Wheels promotion. Here is the real story of this blood-and-guts rivalry - the bad press, the toe-to-toe standoffs, and some of the best racing ever seen in this field, as drag racing went from the gritty, gut-driven sport of the 1960's into the full-fledged money-making machine it is today
