On that sunny Sunday in September, Dick Harrell had his co-driver Tripp Shumake there with him. I remember thinking how sad it must have been for Tripp; that he had to leave the track for the last time without his friend Dick Harrell. Years later Tripp Shumake would also lose his life in an accident, not at the track but on a Arizona highway. Fate can be very fickle.
