Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Had a GREAT time at the Mid America Regional Chevelle show!
Old high school friends were there - both Karen's and mine . . . New friends and even my late 60's boss (and friend), Ken Praiswater from Whitaker Cable . . . Last edited by RogerD; 03-24-2017 at 12:17 PM.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
WOW [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] What an amazing story to be told.
The more I search on this registry the more incredible and exciting the information is. I will be attending MCACN for my first time ever, and hope to see your car RogerD, and so many more with history from my era. Thanks for the memories.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Sad news this morning - we learned that Karen's classmate, Ben Houghton, passed away Saturday, Oct 22, 2011
 Summer of 1970, the other Race . . . The other race was just outside Karen's hometown of Gallatin, MO in the summer of 1970 shortly after we were engaged. She and a lifelong friend Janel Reynolds, were riding around with me that summer evening when we were “invited” to race Karen & Janel’s underclassman, Ben Houghton in his strong running Challenger 440 six pack. Junior Burke set it up on Highway 13 between Gallatin and Hamilton. Ben smoked his tires - I eased off the line and then hammered it to the turnaround. Flashing red lights in the distance heading our way halted a rematch . . . December 2010, I tracked Ben Houghton down to his mom’s place in Gallatin through long time friends, Frank and Kay Woodruff who still live in the area. Turns out Ben was visiting his mom (he lives in Georgia now) and was there for a few days – what luck! Ben remembered the “good old days” and our brief 1970 encounter. When we talked, he remembered that he “never lost a race” in his Challenger. I didn’t push the point with Ben – after all, it was over 40 years ago and lots of water under the bridge since then. Later that same day, Frank called to tell me about his conversation with Ben and mentioned Ben recounting that “his Challenger didn’t win one race with an Orange Chevelle after all” - we had a good laugh about that call. I spoke to Ben the next day and we had a good laugh as well. Didn’t really matter to Ben or me on who won the race – it was just good to finally hook up with Ben again and talk about old times . . . The other race . . . Last edited by RogerD; 01-12-2018 at 01:58 PM.
