It was before that I think...it was the artwork with the guy truckin along....just like on the car....may have had something to do with the Grateful Dead....definitely something in that hippie time period..."Truckin', like the doo-dah man"

I think that you are right. Since Kool Fuel was his sponsor and produced traction bars he changed the slogan to "Keep on Trackin".

Sorry, I dont have many pictures of the car. Maybe someone has pictures they could share of this car. There was a posting of a black and white photo with 4 of Dick Harrell's cars with his semi-trailor in the background and two Camaro's. The picture is at a distance but think the second from the left is the one that Harold drove at the time. It had a dark bronze plexiglas scoup on the hood that faced backward. I think it was on the Dick Harrell drag car thread and about the 19 or 20th page.

I will post a couple more pics. This is one that I scanned of a Kool-Fuel handout. It didn't come out very good. This is the way that Harry left the line, about 2' of air under the front tires!!
