Snake & Mongoose in NY Times

The New York Times (circ.: 1,039,000) is running a ½ page article (with images) in today’s national CARS section. The article focuses on the Snake vs. Mongoose rivalry with mention of the book. Click here to see the article:

Thanks for the link--it was a great article (wonder if Shirley has called them yet about the Cha Cha deal?). Got to visit with Tom once when he was running the 57 funny car at the Super Chevy Series. What a cool guy!! Ran into him at Wal Mart on Friday night and then he stopped by our display on Sunday. Still have a big autographed picture that he gave me of the 57 hanging in my shop. Definitely one of the all time greats.

Drag racing rarely gets into the NY Times so that's good stuff and a nice story.

I have talked to the Mongoose a few times. He's a patient at the dentist office my wife works at, so I've had my check up appointment before his. I have one of the Milestone Development 1/16 scale diecasts of the 57 Chevy, and asked him sign the box during one of my visits.
