Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

[JoeC]

That is a great article for trying to establish a time line for the Dick Harrell shops.
The article states he set up a shop in New Mexico in 1965 but gave up operation of that shop to do more racing in 1966. Then says he set up the hi po program for Nickey "last year" meaning sometime in 1966?
This article is dated July 67 and states that Dick's shop was presently in service station on St. Claire Ave. in St. Louis and ground will be broken for a new 16 car garage at St. Louis International raceway in East St. Louis with opening planed for Oct 67.
The receipt from Harrell and Sanders Automotive on 411 East Church Street
Carlsbad, New Mexico is dated 8-1-67 but has the Sanders name and the address crossed out. We know the deal with Don Yenko was in progress at this time.
Dave recalls moving to the shop on Hickman Mills drive in KC. (winter/spring 67-68)
So it appears that he may have never opened this new Super Camaro shop that is mentioned in this article at the St. Louis drag stip in Oct 67? What do the Harrell Historians think?
