One of the all-time greatest stories in drag racing history took place at the 1978 U.S. Nationals in the Funny Car final between two of the sport's giants.
I was there, I was standing in the photo area. The crowd went nuts, everyone wanted the Goose to win. I still have the photo of the Snake and the Mongoose on the starting line, have it hanging on my wall.
RIP Goose
If you haven't seen the "Snake and Mongoose" movie, do yourself a favor and watch it!

That's cool
Pretty cool, that mongoose corvette use to be my favorite funny car.
Wow what could McEwen say after THAT? He had to be speechless. Probably couldn't even speak. Anybody who wouldn't choke up ain't alive.
