Default Re: Dick Fletcher AKA Fletch AKA Fletcher Chassis

Came across this. Hope it helps. Anyone know the car or it's owner. Maybe Penny could contact them. Found it here :

Dee Keaton raced Jack Chrisman’s "Chrisman’s Comet" after Chrisman had replaced it with one of the Logghe Comets. The car had become a little outdated in spite of many updates by Keaton. It was a Dick Fletcher chassis car with an injected SOHC 427 Ford. Keaton was well skilled in tuning a SOHC. The car raced through ‘69, albeit later with a blower and Cougar shell. The Comet ran 8.30s at 170 on injectors. The "Keaton’s Komet" was a regular in Southern California races in 1967. The 427 SOHC powered Fairlane was backed by automatic transmission like most cars of the era. (Photo courtesy of Mike Ditty)
