DON “THE SNAKE” PRUDHOMME
Don Prudhomme (born April 6, 1941, San Fernando, California), nicknamed "The Snake," is an American drag racer. He was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1991
Prudhomme crewed for "TV Tommy" Ivo on Ivo's twin-engined slingshot in 1960.
In 1962, Prudhomme was a partner in the Greer-Black-Prudhomme fuel digger, which earned the best win record in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) history, before switching to Funny Car. He would win the NHRA FC championship four times in his 35-year career. He earned the nickname "The Snake" in high school. He was the first Funny Car driver to exceed 250 mph (400 km/h).
After trouble getting the "vaunted" Gilmore Engineering-chassied Donovan Engineering Special dragster sorted out, Tom McEwen quit, and was replaced by Prudhomme, then owner-driver in the B&M Tork Master-sponsored car.
