    I love multi-disciplinary racers, particularly in completely different types of motorsport. Add Don Prudhomme - legendary NHRA drag racer - to that list, he won his class at the Baja 1000, and he's 80 years young.

    Fantastic win for him (sorry if old news).

    I know Prudhomme has always been a fan of road racing, and is friendly with guys like Mario and AJ. I found this old pic that I thought was really cool - not sure of the year, but I'll bet late 60's because Prudhomme wore his hair far longer by the early / mid 70's, and they are standing by a front-engined dragster.
