Reviews
This is a true-life tale of an almost rags-to-riches journey of one man's dedication to his family and his sport, and I think, it is better for it. Recommended!, It's a truly good book telling this one man's story and telling it well making it an attention holding, entertaining, and informative read., Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme: My Life Beyond the 1320 is a 'must' for the legions of Prudhomme fans and certain to be a welcome addition to community library automotive racing history and memoir collections., "Overall, this book did it all for me. I don't know that anyone could have done a better job at distilling the story of a 50-year career and enveloping it all into a comprehensive piece that will be inspiring, educational, informative, and just plain fun to read. Granted, I'm a huge "Snake" fan and I sat down and read it cover to cover until 2:30 in the morning because I just couldn't stop turning pages and wondering what came next, but if it can keep an "expert" like me doing that, I know it will do the same for you guys. It's a great book for "Snake" fans, especially those wanting to know as much about the man as his machines. It's packed with great photos and eye-opening anecdotes, and might even open some eyes of the non-"Snake" or even non-drag racing fans out there (they still exist, right?).", If you have any interest in the '70s and '80s funny cars or want to relive the golden age of drag racing, this book belongs on your shelf. I read it through during the course of a couple of days and I intend to read it over again. It brings to life a sport and a way of life that no longer exists. If you only read one racing book this year, make sure it is this one.

Synopsis
Don "The Snake" Prudhomme reveals for the first time ever his incredible life and career on and off of the drag strip. Imagine spending a year with Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, having coffee together and talking about his life, his racing, his friends, and his family. He'd tell you about how he rose from being a high school drop-out who was painting cars to a respected Top Fuel dragster driver and successful businessman. You'd hear how he toured the country with Tommy Ivo and "The Hawaiian" Roland Leong, racing all the legends from "Big Daddy" Don Garlits to "The Golden Greek" [Chris] Karamesines. He'd say how he met Tom McEwen and recall how they became the Snake and the Mongoose, leading to a career in Funny Cars that netted him four championships in a row. He'd talk about the thrill of first wins and owning his own teams but also the struggles of bad seasons, crashes and fires, broken parts, and broken contracts. Along the way, he'd speak about the people in his life, such as engine-builder Keith Black and NHRA president Wally Parks, and those who were killed in the wild and unpredictable sport of nitro racing. It wouldn't be only racing, though. Prudhomme would share lessons he learned about business and life from such varied sources as a neighbor in Granada Hills to Ford GT40 driver Dan Gurney. He also would talk about the importance of family: how his wife, Lynn, and daughter, Donna, changed his world and how finding out about his African-American roots opened his eyes to a culture and inheritance he'd always wanted. This is the experience you'll get in Don "The Snake" Prudhomme: My Life Beyond the 1320.
