Tom McEwen was the other half of the “Snake vs the Mongoose” team. In the animal world, the only predator that the cobra has is a mongoose. According to McEwen, Prudhomme was always faster on the line, that’s why he was call “the Snake.” The “Mongoose” thing was more of a marketing bit to attract match race booking. “SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SEE TOM “THE MONGOOSE” MCEWEN TAKE ON DON ”THE SNAKE” PRUDHOMME IN A BEST OF 3 ALL-OUT MATCH RACE! WILL IT BE “THE SNAKE” OR “THE MONGOOSE” IN VICTORY LANE??? BE THERE!!! Then they would go into a town, they’d sometimes go to the top AM radio stations for quickie interviews with McEwen doing all the boosting. “SNAKE I’M TAKING YOU DOWN 3 OUT OF 3 SATURDAY NIGHT MAN, WHAD’YA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?” Prudhomme, the quiet guy, would just quietly say, “Sure Tom, sure.” The Hot Wheels deal with Mattel Toys made McEwen and Prudhomme legends in the minds and hearts of boys and toy collectors all over the country.

Here's what the print looks like in one of our 16" x 20" poster frames.
