Elapsed Times Snake and Mongoose Drag Racing Metal Sign - 12" x 18"

This artwork presents a bold retro drag racing layout centered on the Elapsed Times masthead, with Elapsed in white and Times in bright red against a dark blue-black background. A yellow Snake I Plymouth Barracuda and a red Mongoose II Plymouth Duster dominate the composition, both shown in Hot Wheels race livery with sponsor-style markings and an oversized racing stance. The typography calls out Retro Drag Racing At Its Best, From The Car Craft Archives, and 100+ Vintage Archive Photos, giving the piece the feel of a vintage racing sign tied to archive-era drag strip culture. Don Prudhomme's Snake and Tom McEwen's Mongoose pairing is one of drag racing's most recognizable rivalries, and the artwork leans into that history with saturated color, hard-edged lettering, and a clean poster-style presentation.

The overall mood is fast, graphic, and unmistakably tied to 1970s funny car culture. As drag racing wall art, it works especially well for collectors who like period race-car graphics, Plymouth race cars, and speed-shop typography. The dark background and bright race car colors give the artwork strong contrast, while the large car names at the bottom make the subject immediately clear.
