Description
State-of-the-art for its day, the Greer-Black-Prudhomme dragster was one of the most beautiful ever built and also the most successful. Tuned by Keith Black and driven by Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, it immediately dominated the drag racing circuit and consistently ran the quarter mile in under eight seconds, at speeds in excess of 190 miles per hour. With an unparalleled record of 237 wins and only 4 losses, it was the dominent Top Fuel racer for its time (1962) and the ultimate example of a pioneering-era dragster. Don Prudhomme’s quick reaction times earned him the nickname, “The Snake.”
