Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

I am very glad you see it that way.I would not only make you look stupid,It is not good for your future credibilty.
I have no idea why it never dawned on me in the 1st place as it just never hit me that it was being called a funny car,I guess I was fixated on the body.Kinda like seeing a great looking woman,until she talks all you see is that look.
On another note. I have been trying to send a few pictures.only like 560 bytes and they come back as file to large anybody have any clues? Only on black and white.
Best to You MenMyfcs

TIM 1st I would like to correct A typo on my last post. Saying I would make you look stupid. It should read IT would make you look stupid.Sorry! Trying to Dyno and map FI programs and play at the same time.From my typing you can imagine how my Dyno day went.
That last Picture was at New York Dragway Long Island,1967
From a wheelstand losing a wheel as it came down and catching fire. Pretty tired to nite but have 3 sequence shots I will try to share of it. Nite All

The Yahoo Fuel Coupes site was pretty helpful back when i was trying to find out info on the Gray Ghost 66 GTO funny car....hell I got some nice pictures of the car from some of the guys there...talked to pellegrini and even the chassis builder as well as finally finding Larry Swiatek the original owner ! Great site.

All,
Earlier in this thread I posted a b&w pic of Dicks 71 car and said It may be the first shakedown runs. I found a pic last night I have never seen before. Pic is of the same car unlettered on the cover of a mag. (attached) Amazed that this existed and I never ran on to it. Just wanted to correct an assumtion. Scan credit to Dennis Doubleday
