NHRA Funny car, Tom McEwen,The Mongoose Autographed, Top Fuel Funny Car. OBO For Sale

Vinyl Banner, Autographed by Tom McEwen. I got this at one of the last races at Houston Raceway Park and one of the last times Tom McEwen made a public appearance. This was not for sale but was in the tent where he was signing autographs. They were about to close up and leave and i asked about the banner and he took it down and signed it for me. He was in the pits signing autographs. He passed away shortly after this event. Nice Banner 36” x 12” showing his old funny car.
