I watched Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen race many times through the years. Got to see The Mongoose an Don "The Snake" Prudhomme several times at match races. I at the US Nationals in Indy in 78 McEwen went up against Prudhomme in the funny car final. Tom's son had died a few weeks before. When Tom's win light came on the whole place was applauding. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God.
