RancheroSteve Posted June 12, 2018 Don't forget the '65 Barracuda, which is pretty accurately represented (for the most part) by the Hemi Under Glass kit: http://www.hotrod.com/articles/1965-plymouth-barracuda-funny-car/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smhardesty Posted June 12, 2018 Sad to hear. His name will forever be remembered along with Garlits, Prudhomme, Sox &Martin, Jenkins, and the other kings of drag racing. The battles of "The Snake" & "The Mongoose" were quite memorable. RIP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bainford Posted June 12, 2018 Very sad to hear. His rivalry with Prudhomme in the 70s was fuel for the imagination. I loved that stuff as a kid. Thanks for the memories, Tom. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for all the good memories, Mongoose. You said exactly what I wanted to say Snake. Even if there is nothing I can do about it. It still makes me sad.
