  • 200), and Don Schumacher's 7.38 Stardust 'Cuda
    In truth it began on Wednesday, but ignorance is bliss, and Courtesy nhra.com cruising at 625mph almost 7-miles high in a smooth-as-silk Air New Zealand 777, sipping champagne and rewinding my mind back through earlier visits to California I was more than just blissfully unaware! First came a mini-mind-movie on the 2nd Manufacturers Funny Car Championships held at Orange County International Raceway in 1968, a track where Gene words & photos mike collins Snow’s 205.46mph "Rambunctious" Charger (first AA/FC over 200), and Don Schumacher’s 7.38 Stardust ‘Cuda held the records at the first US race I’d covered, happily in the UK, as images of 24 fuel coupes were followed rapidly by a flashing title “Fog Foils Funnies at OCIR!” Actually, it was said that the fog “rolled in,” and there’s a fog monster “rolling” down into the valley like a run-a-way juggernaut to obliterate the forest in seconds! Not joking folks, shortly later another fog monster rolled out of nowhere on US395 to engulf my wagon! Cruising blind for almost a few hundred feet was not much fun - imagine being hit by one at 200mph and it’s easy to understand the race being called! Then it rained before a 3rd attempt saw the race dominated by Mopar; Snowman was fastest at 204.08 and Rich Siroonian’s 7.48 quickest in Big John Mazmanian’s ‘Cuda and Team Mopar won the Manufacturers title. Their low ET cars raced for the big buck$ in the final with a 7.50 putting Don Schumacher next to Siroonian who made Image found on E-Bay, two smokey burnouts to Schumacher’s three.

October 22, 2009 A Storied Rivalry Put Drag Racing on the Map By DAVE CALDWELL ONE day in 1964, Ed Donovan, a drag-racing pioneer who was known as the Mole, came up with a nickname for Tom McEwen, his lead-footed driver. There was not much money in drag racing then — winners were often given a $100 savings bond, plus free parts and oil — but every hotshot had a nickname. One of McEwen’s top funny-car rivals was Don Prudhomme, a lanky driver from Southern California who was so cobra-quick off the starting line that he was known as the Snake. So Donovan tagged McEwen the Mongoose, a mammal that seizes and kills venomous snakes. Their match races became genuine showdowns. “This wasn’t rasslin’ or anything fake like that, and that’s what made it so popular,” Prudhomme said in a recent telephone interview from his office in Vista, Calif. “We just wanted to beat each other.” Because the rivalry grew between the two drivers — McEwen in his Plymouth Duster, Prudhomme in his Plymouth Barracuda — the sport changed. In 1970, McEwen talked Mattel into producing 1:64 scale Snake and Mongoose cars as part of its Hot Wheels die-cast toy line — and into becoming drag racing’s first sponsor outside the automobile industry.

  • Schumacher, Capps Look to Defend Phoenix Titles at Wild Horse Pass BROWNSBURG, Ind
    Photo illustration by Leah Vaughn/Tom Patsis 20th year starts with a bang Schumacher, Capps look to defend Phoenix titles at Wild Horse Pass BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Feb. 14, 2014) – Don Schumacher Racing’s Tony Schumacher and Ron Capps plan to rebound when racing resumes Feb. 21-23 near Phoenix at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park after disappointing results from the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series opener a week ago. Schumacher won the title a year ago at the track formerly known as Firebird to post his fourth win there, which is the most by any Top Fuel driver. Capps added the Funny Car crown to provide DSR with a double-up, which occurred six times in 2013 and 38 times since DSR was founded in 1998. While Schumacher, the seven-time Top Fuel world champion, lost in the opening round after qualifying 10th on Feb. 7 in the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona, Calif., Capps had an explosive start to his 20th season competing as a professional. Capps, 48, who lives in Carlsbad, Calif., was featured throughout the country with replays of his fiery engine explosion on his second qualifying run (Friday night) at Pomona that destroyed the $50,000 carbon fiber NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T body. He has been interviewed several times about the run including at the track on KABC in Los Angeles a few hours after the incident. Three days later he was a guest on Fox News Network’s nationwide “Fox & Friends” morning show, FROM ESPN/NHRA VIDEO the video has been aired countless times around the country.
