It is based on the Plymouth Barracuda Funny Car driven by Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme in 1970, a car sponsored by Hot Wheels in conjunction with his rival Tom 'The Mongoose' McEwen. A massive cobra oozes green Slime from its fangs in the Hot Wheels® Toxic Snake Strike™ play set while kids launch Hot Wheels® cars through it and try to land on one of two buttons that will destroy it 1 Hot Wheels® car is included. That paint scheme, along with ‘The Snake and The Mongoose’ Hot Wheels set which was originally released in 1970, really made my career. Capps’ NAPA Auto Parts Toyota GR Supra will sport a throwback livery paying tribute to his former team owner, Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme, and the legendary Hot Wheels x NHRA Funny Car. It had its side stickers applied from the factory and a sticker sheet with flames was included in the package.
It’s exciting to bring together the old-school Hot Wheels fans like myself with the next generation and offer up a tribute car with Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme. He went on to win four straight NHRA Funny Car world championships (1975-78) and 49 combined wins in Top Fuel and Funny Car. S. Nationals weekend festivities, Prudhomme will hop in the seat of the Ron Capps Motorsports entry for the warmup procedures prior to the first qualifying session on Friday, Sept. S. Nationals, will have a new look when he defends his title at Indianapolis Raceway Park over Labor Day weekend. The toy sets introduced Prudhomme and McEwen to a mainstream audience, propelling both drivers and drag racing in general to unprecedented heights.Like with the rest of the Hot Wheels City range, you can connect your Viper Bridge Attack Playset to other sets in the range. He became the first driver in drag racing history to win a national event in two Pro categories, adding the U. Ron has a real, legitimate shot at winning the race, and I couldn’t think of a better guy to be teamed up with to run this paint scheme. It’s going to be incredibly emotional to be on the starting line at Indianapolis Raceway Park with ‘The Snake’ standing behind the car. Features performance push-around-play with a recognizable nemesis for a gift that kids 5 years old and older love!
The story of Prudhomme and McEwen’s early racing careers, including their pursuit of Hot Wheels as a major sponsor, was chronicled in the 2013 film “Snake and Mongoose.
The Plymouth Barracuda Funny Car casting would go on to be used in 1973 as both the Snake and Mongoose, and in 1974 under the name Top Eliminator. The Hot Wheels Snake II was produced at both the USA and Hong Kong factories and was only made in Enamel White. Ron has been a great friend of the Hot Wheels brand and continues to push boundaries, inspiring the next generation of automotive legends through his perseverance, passion and countless hours of ‘challenge accepted’. Cars not moving fast enough can get stuck, but those with the right boost will stunt through the goo and land on one of two buttons that defeat the nemesis. Play set includes a reusable container of Slime to make the experience even more exciting as well as one 1:64 scale Hot Wheels® car.
It uses the same casting as the Snake from 1970 except this time it has Enamel White paint and 'Snake II' stickers. I got a little tear in my eye when Ron approached me about doing this paint scheme,” said Prudhomme, a seven-time U. uk/browse/toys/toy-vehicles-and-sets/toy-cars-and-trucks/c:30428/brands:hot-wheels/" on this server. I’m grateful to our partners, especially NAPA, for graciously supporting this idea and allowing us to run a throwback car like this at such a big, historic race,” added Capps, who moved into the Funny Car points lead following his victory from the pole in Brainerd, Minn.The Snake was released in both enamel white and yellow, with pre applied blue 'Snake II' stickers (even on the yellow release which should have had white 'Snake' stickers).
The Hot Wheels® Toxic Snake Strike™ play set presents an epic obstacle when kids launch their Hot Wheels® vehicle through a toxic cobra whose fangs drip with green Slime. Play set includes a container of reusable green Slime, which can be poured into the snake's head for it to drip through its fangs and onto cars waiting at the set's 'electric plant'. Prudhomme was already an established name in the sport with five wins in Top Fuel, but his Funny Car win at Indy helped take his career to new levels. Escape danger and race your way to safety with this awesome Viper Bridge Attack Playset from the Hot Wheels City range. Along with the special livery, Capps’ firesuit and the team crew shirts will look similar to what Prudhomme and his team wore in the early 1970s.
Cars shoot out of the cobra's mouth and ideally land either the cobra's eggs or the meltdown button, both of which topple the foe. S. Nationals is the premier event, and with the history of ‘The Snake’ at Indy, it’s only fitting that we’re able to run this car next weekend at ‘The Big Go. Capps, who formed his own team, Ron Capps Motorsports, over the 2021-2022 offseason, raced for Prudhomme’s Snake Racing team from 1997 through 2004. Early versions have capped redline wheels, along with a base that has less detail and is unreinforced. More than 90 years ago, the National Automotive Parts Association ("NAPA") was created to meet America’s growing need for an effective auto parts distribution system.
