TIM 1st I would like to correct A typo on my last post. Saying I would make you look stupid. It should read IT would make you look stupid.Sorry! Trying to Dyno and map FI programs and play at the same time.From my typing you can imagine how my Dyno day went.
That last Picture was at New York Dragway Long Island,1967
From a wheelstand losing a wheel as it came down and catching fire. Pretty tired to nite but have 3 sequence shots I will try to share of it. Nite All

The Yahoo Fuel Coupes site was pretty helpful back when i was trying to find out info on the Gray Ghost 66 GTO funny car....hell I got some nice pictures of the car from some of the guys there...talked to pellegrini and even the chassis builder as well as finally finding Larry Swiatek the original owner ! Great site.

Do any of you Chi town guys know if Dukes is still in business. Best Italian beff sandwiches I ever had.Austin Coil lived right down the street. I thought it was 79th and Archer.
Lets see if I can send this with out a screw up.

Here is the last of the wheelstand shot.
R&amp;b. B was John Buttera who built some of the most famous funny cars of the 70s.

I will try to post this. It may show why you find more people that loved Dick Harrell for more than just the cars.
He would have been way ahead of the teams out there today just because of his personality and charm.
