Harrell FC

[COPO PETE]

Thanks for the update Tom. Really enjoyed listening to the FC fire up at the reunion. It does'nt really matter how fast you get the ol' girl going, as it is just great to see and hear it going down the track! Stick with it!

Saturday was even more fun. Got to make a pass under the lights again during the semis, with a nice crowd on hand. Made my best pass yet, lowing my 60' to 1.3 and ET @ 6.67. The MPH was down as I dropped a cylinder 3/4s the way through. The best part is the return to the pits, as the FCs return in front of the grand stand, with the bodys up. Lots of thumbs up and applause from the crowd.

Watching Pulde and the other nitro boys trash to get their cars ready, then seeing them thunder down the track at under 7 seconds is amazing. Racing nostalgia funnycars is alot like what we do, where everyone lends everyone else a hand.

Got any pics to share ? What car does Dale run ???

[sYc]

Sorry, no pics, forgot the camera. Dale was there to tune Don Horan's '66 Mustang nitro car, but Dan was unable to leave CA, so Dale had to both tune and drive. A couple of other crew members were no shows as well, so Libby and Kalwie gave Dale a hand.

Sounds like your having a great time Tom, your car looks great as well and fits in with the rest of the pack... I wish I didn't forget my camera at home, what a site to see all those funny cars lined up in the pits... Hell as you walked down the row of funny cars you wouldn't even have know you were at a MOPAR SHOW????? Keep it straight Tom, and good luck on the motor... Mark

I may be mistaken, but is that thing pullin' the left front?

[moparts]

I do beleive you are right. Now what would it do if the butterflies were open? Matter of fact I am not so sure the right one isn't.

Hey, Mr. Crew Chief -- you need to work on keeping Tom more relaxed. It looks like he was breathing so hard, it fogged up his visor!!
