Harrell driver
Just had an interesting visit with a former racer not far from here. His name is Frank Nichel, and, besides racing on his own, he drove for Dick. including the famed 1969 Gibb ZL-1 Camaro. A couple of things of interest. One, while working for Dick in St. Louis, he helped convert some Yenkos. Two, when Dick, Fred and Herb went to build an engine for Lil hoss, Dick contacted Frank to see what Frank did to his small block car to make it run so well. Frank remembered that once complete, the car was a "awesome" performer.
