Greg, both posts very well said IMO.

Tom, I also like Belair don't know where the insult was. I have even re read the posts.

I also have spent hours talking with Valerie and Dale via their website thru the chat room. I did take the time out and learn about her family, her memories of Dick, and all that she personally went through in Dicks years of racing. IMO they are very good people that just want to keep the legacy of Dick Harrell alive.

Here is where I am confused. The above mentioned cars (Kirby Funny Car, and ZL1#1) had Dicks name on them back in the day. They are very significant pieces of history. I personally think that that ZL1#1 has to be the most historically significant supercar in existence. With that said, where is the crime so to speak with the Harrell name being on these cars? I am not talking about the opportunists that illegally used the Harrell name to benefit by selling merchandise, I mean the actual cars that carried his name that he either built or raced? I just don't understand. Like Motown wrote, what if the Yenko family said that no Yenko vehicle was to have stripes put back on it unless a royalty was paid? Sounds almost ludacrist if you ask me because the cars were originally built that way. Did you have to pay a royalty to have Dicks name put on the side of your funny car?
