Not sure if it's been mentioned yet. But if you haven't seen it, or aren't even really a movie guy, I think a lot of guys on here would like "Snake and Mongoose". I know it's on Amazon prime. Not sure about anywhere else.
Cool movie with a LOT of old footage.

Thanks for the heads up Shady!
Snake/Mongoose is pretty good if your into drag racing. It was cool seeing those funnycars run in the 70’s, and the footage they used in the movie was pretty good too. I always thought Snakes Army Monza was a badass car. And Mongoose Corvettes were pretty cool. A few cameos in the movie too, including Don and Tom in the golf cart, and Roland Leong, Capps and DeJoria in the pits.

You guys suck. Could not sleep this morning so I sat in my shop watching the movie. Now I miss my dad. Ths dust in the shop is bad. I grew up in that and at those tracks.
I seen the icon deal for it while browsing movies a couple times, but didn't catch the snake/Mongoose thing pertaining to drag racing.
For some reason at quick glance I kept thinking it was circle track cars so I went on by.
Couple nights ago I watched a dirt track movie because i was sick of looking and it had a hot chick .lol.
So last night I seen that and clicked on it figuring what the hey, maybe this one will too, and seen the drag racing thing... Couldn't click the play button fast enough.
After I read the description I remembered the 2 names individually, but knew nothing of their story.
Pretty awesome tale.

You are probably young enough to not have Snake and Mongoose Hot Wheels sets.
Though I was in the minority liking the mongoose. Might be fitting he came out with the ‘57 Chevy based funny car later in the 80’s.
Is the movie you were talking about the one with the girl who races dirt track when she goes and stays with her uncle working in the shop?

I had those!
Nope.
Alabama dirt.
I didn't have the dragway sets, but I did have the individual funny cars
Remind me to search out some of the previous rules revisions. Definitely some interesting things, including the modified production years
Five Hemi’s and good ole Don running the CAMMER !
Another one coming back.

New York’s Shuttered Skyview Drags Begins Its Comeback Story | Drag Illustrated
As soon as I got my license, I was at Skyview Drags in Upstate New York, attending their test-and-tune every Friday night. It was the place that showed me what cars could really do, how fast they could really go. I thought I was on top of the world going “fast” in my beat-up high
