We would race our bikes down the sreet. he would be the snake. sometimes i would be the snake.depened on the bike. you may have to give me a head start. Was in Ennis Tx. one time in line to get his autograph. two people in front of me. he walked off. I was so mad. that close. thanks 😊anyway.

I had the same kind of story. In Tucson, AZ back before they moved to Phoenix. I walked up to him and asked for his autograph and he just said sorry kid. It's was a long time ago but I think some drivers were charging 5 bucks for there autographs. As a 9 year old it was heartbreaking. I built so many models of that awesome car. But as you said I still think he was awesome.

Can you tell us why they call you 'The Snake'? Don: "Quick off the starting line is how I got that name. I was driving a top fuel dragster for Blair, Black and Prudhomme when one of the guys started calling me The Snake. I picked up on that nickname. Nothing was planned. It just happened." "Although i also like telling people that it's a famed locker room story." Don is the greatest
