Thank's for posting this one Hoss! I was practically born a Snake fan, even saw him Win his very first Major NHRA event at Pomona in 1965 when I was 4! 🤗 When Evans told Snake "Amato has won this race two time's in a row" when Snake answered with "Yeah, his last two" LOL! No one could talk track-smack better than Don "The SNAKE" Prudhomme" 😏
Also, my stepdad is Jerry Eckman, he's got some great stories about those times. He said his first time golfing was with Arnold Palmer, must've been some pro-am or something.
@@MannyDer Really?? 😃 Very cool, Ol' Eck was a Pro-Stock baddass! In the 🤔....80's-90's that little bright yellow Pensoil Trans-Am was a threat to Win every race which was great, cause it got old watching Glidden & WJ win all the time. 👍
@@MannyDer Hey Hoss, just came back to offer my sincerest condolences on your loss 😣 Your Stepfather was a great drag racer & an icon of Pro-Stock. I've been around big-time drag racing 55 of my 60yrs & I've NEVER heard a negative word uttered about Eck, he will be sorely missed 🙏✝️
