Snake verses Mongoose
How a Rivalry Changed Drag Racing Forever
by Tom Madigan
|
|
|
|
|
Don The Snake Prudhomme in his Barracuda. Tom The
Mongoose McEwen in his Duster. The Snake vs. Mongoose racing
feud had been making headlines long before they got their Funny
Cars, but it wasn't until they made a deal with Mattel that drag racing
became the multimillion-dollar business that it is today. Happily
co-opted by Mattel, the rivalry described in Snake vs. Mongoose
was nonetheless real. Author Tom Madigan tells the story from the
beginning, when engine builder Ed Donovan, with a nod to The
Jungle Book, dubbed his driver The Mongoose, the one creature
who could strike faster than a Snake. The book chronicles the bad
press, the toe-to-toe standoffs, and some of the best races in drag
racing history. And within that story, Madigan captures the
transformation of drag racing from the gritty, gut-driven sport of the
60s into the full-fledged money-making machine of our day.

Proving Ground
From the early decades of the Indy 500 to the modern Super
speedways of NASCAR, from the 24 Hours of Le Mans to
drag racing's 4.5-second quarter-mile runs, this is the story of
one company's pursuit of performance and the glory that
came with it. Full of hundreds of color and black and white
photos, we hear tales of the Hemi, the Superbird, Don Garlits,
Richard Petty, door-banging Trans Am racing, land speed
records on the salt flats of Bonneville, from the legendary
C-300 to the road-shredding Dodge Viper. Full of fascinating
history and excitement, this book is a must-have for all fans of
Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth.

Merchants of Speed
Hot rodding has always been about taking something that
Detroit built and making it leaner and faster. At the center of the
movement was a group of men who designed and
manufactured the parts that made it all possible. This book
takes an appreciative look back at the early hot rodders who
worked out of their garages, basements, and backyards, and
the speed equipment they developed. In this mammoth
volume, Paul Smith examines the stories behind two dozen
speed equipment manufacturers and the go-fast goodies they
designed, developed, and sold.

Motion Performance Tales of a Muscle Car Builder
It was a driver's dream: Along with the full factory warranty,
your car came with a guarantee of 11.5-second quarter-mile
times. It was also Joel Rosen's dream, and in 1964, he set
out to make it a reality. This book tells the inside story of how it
all happened. Brilliantly illustrated with period pictures and
modern color photos, the book takes readers along as
Cobras, Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles, even Volkswagen Beetles
roll into the shop to get torn down and rebuilt into cars
unbeatable on the streets and drag strips. A once-in-a-lifetime
tale of power and speed, told by one of the principals who put
that performance within reach.
