Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

[Stefano]

Tim,
Who was that Nice Lady telling you that she towed your Funny Car back and forth from the race track at least 150 times? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Stef that lady happened to be Nancy Gibb ,Freds daughter.It was great to see how excited she was about the car.Glad you guys were there to treasure the moment!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Something I'll never forget.Did she really say she hauled it 150 times?

[Stefano]

No Tim, she said at least 150 times. Yes,it was a neat Reunion and don't know, even as optomistic as I have been known to be that I could have appreciated the drama unless I had been there to witness it first hand.

Tell us more about the story, I didn't want to intrude on the moment.

Stef you share the story it might sound egotistical coming from me.It needs your input.She's a super nice lady.Tell the story.There was only a few who were there and I came in late.You were there the whole time.When she came over you should have told her it was yours [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Tim,
I guess I can start with the story as I was sorting through the remainder of your Mr. Norm's Memorabilia with Ricky Smith. Kevin Hand was only a few Radio Flyer Wagon lengths away from us, but focused on closing a Multi Yenko T-Shirt deal. There were quite a few other list members present as well.

She had her finger raised and pointed towards the car as she inquired who it belonged to. I had never met any of the Gibb's, so I didn't know who she was for sure untill you told me. for all I knew it could have been Dick Harrell's daughter or someone else.

I pointed you and your Father out to her and she commented, as she walked over to meet you, that "I have trailered that car at least 150 times back and forth from the race track". She did appear too young to have trailered the car on her own but ,I became aware of what seemed to be taking place. She appeared to be ,almost mezmorized and drawn to the car as she walked towards it.

Once the two of you started talking about the history of the car and looking over the old clues and tell tail signs of its heritage,i just tried to give you some space.

I did hear her say that as far as she and her mother were concerned that they had just found the back-up Dickie Harrell/Fred Gibb funny car.

Please fill us in on what I missed?
