That 67 year is really a hard one to follow. From 67 till some time in 68 they lived in St.Louis, Grandview Mo.and
Kansas City Mo. Valerie went to 3 different schools that year. Now its become a mission to find this out.

Can anyone tell this St.Louis arch airplane story?

one of the drag racing picture sites has these two photos avaiable in 8x10

this is the discription for them......
THE FRIST PHOTO IS OF DICK HARRELL RIGHT IN THE TRAPS. DICK SPUN THE CAR OUT IN THE SECOND PHOTO WHILE AVOIDING ANOTHER CAR THAT CROSSED THE CENTERLINE.
BOTH WERE TAKEN AT GREEN VALLEY TEXAS IN 1971 AT AN AHRA MEET.

Boy did this site come to a screaching halt. I am trying to find out what should be the real story on the Arch.Several know about it but not all the details.

I'd like to hear more about the Arch flight too. Maybe the main characters are still under FAA scrutiny! I would think the statute of limitations would have expired by now.

I think there has been a lot of territory covered in this thread, that it is hard to digest several pages and the number of posts, unless being an active participant. Someone suggested starting seperate threads on each car. Maybe we can start with one of the early ones first. JoeC, menmyfcs, davenkc, Kim, care to help out? Maybe start with early pics, and race articles through the season(s) raced.

I agree with this,good idea.

Ken.
That is doable. That being said I am trying to contact a fellow who dates back to 1961or62 with Dick who can answer a lot of questions about the early years will let you know if this happens.

I am not sure who you are trying to get in touch with, but I went to some races with Dick in the early 60's and lived and worked with him in late 63.
If you think I might be of some help let me know.

I am VERY glad to hear James was on the phone.
I hope to see him in person in the next 2or3 months.
maybe just maybe with the 67 car to show him.
