Prudhomme has always had horrible PR. Years ago I contacted his office about some measurements needed for a replica of the Prudhomme hauler I was building. The response I got was one that read like it was written by an attorney. Many years ago I got a chance to crew ( I should say grunt, tire wipe, parts clean) with McEwen he treated me with respect and appreciated my help. My hauler replica's of both of their trucks will someday get done. Then I take a trip california hot rod reunion and present them to Tom and Don for their personal collection as gifts. But just before I make the presentation to Prudhomme I take a bat out backpack and take great deight by smashing Prudhommes to pieces to show him that I'm sorry that was an unauthorized replica and needed to be destroyed.
