Snake vs Mongoose

[SoCalCpl2]

I was around in that era, watched them race, had the Hot Wheels, loved Drag Racing.. I do not go to "professional" Drag racing and haven't for years.. Too much same old same old.. Cars all look the same, not much action, just a quick shoot down the strip, the personalities not there anymore....

I love Bracket Racing, and Summit style Drags....

My all time favorite has to be Sammy Miller and his rocket car Vanishing Point, if I hadn't seen it live but only on film I would've sworn they'd speeded up the film, I still wonder if they somehow figured out how to speed up reality.

mmmmmm jungle pam
