Description The Author Reviews Reader Reviews TOC

Tom Madigan has been part of the California car culture since the end of World War II. As a journalist, he has covered all kinds of motorsports, but his first love has always been the sport in which he participated: Top Fuel drag racing. Madigan is the author of several books, including Motorbooks’ critically acclaimed Fuel and Guts: The Birth of Top Fuel Drag Racing; Edelbrock: Made in the USA; and Hurricane: The Bob Hannah Story. He resides in Sonora, California, with his extremely patient wife, Darlene.

“Even before you open “Snake vs. Mongoose,” you know you’re in for something special and fun. A protective plastic dustjacket with full color decals of the snake and mongoose figures grabs your attention and keeps your 160 page book in pristine condition. Nine Chapters and eight informative sidebars from Marv Rifchin, Gene Adams, Bob Brandt, Pete Ward, Billy “Bones” Miller, Randy Fish, Bob Shaffer and “Waterbed” Fred Miller document the story. “Snake vs. Mongoose” is a joyful quarter mile trip down a fast memory lane. It rates four out of five lug nuts.” – Gregg Leary, SPEEDTV.com
