On the surface, Don Prudhomme easily appears to be the coolest drag racer on the planet. Truth be known, at least one thing makes him uncool to the hilt. Prudhomme cannot stand disappointment. It rattles him to the core.

Yes, that's a good behind the scenes read. Don's book "My Life Beyond the 1320" goes into more detail about these issues, especially about dealing with all the crew chiefs he worked with as a team owner. That's a really interesting part of the book. The way his 2 car funny car team evolved, having a 2 car team was not nearly the big advantage everyone thought it was at the time. In fact, to a large degree, it was just twice the headaches.

doing a rather good job of 'helping' don too.
