Default Tom The Mongoose McEwen

Just found out the The Mongoose passed away yesterday .. he was 81

I have to say that since I moved to California Tom was literally everywhere.
He was always at the races signing as well as other car shows and events.. Truly a man of the people. He seemed much more friendly than Snake was.

As a funny car lover and also an old school bmx guy, it's a sad day.
RIP 'Goose.
