Default Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

Parts131, thanks for posting the "inside info" on DH. From what I read, things got tight for the Chevy guys in early 1963 when Chevy announced they will support the ban on factory racing. The Z-11 and 427 Mystery engine were squeezed out before the ban but then Chevy went underground with racing support. Do you remember any contact with Vinnce Piggins who was Chevy engineer that was helping the racers?
Even Grumpy Jenkins ran the new Hemi in 64 but DH stayed with Chevy and ran the Z-11 Chevelle against the Hemi and T bolts. Do you know what year the picture below was taken?
When did DH began using the Nova bodies?
