Who didn't have the Snake vs. Mongoose Hot Wheels set (if you were of that age back then)?
I sure did. I got my hands on anything to do with drag racing publications (and the rare TV show) that I could
as a result of those guys.
God rest his soul. :-(

True, I had them all.

R.I.P Tom, I met Tom at Famoso race way couple years ago, he didn't look good then, he was selling Tee shits and model toys, I bought a shirt and got him to sign it.
