Seems to me that if DP had been a better driver/businessman, he wouldn't have to leach others' fame. Yes, I know it's not all one persons doing, that's just the opinion I've come to from the feel of all this. Hell, I could be wrong!

Your opinion seems to be in the majority.

I have always been under the impression that Dale Pulde is considered one of the top funny car drivers of all-time. Schumacher Racing continues to use him to test their Funny Cars.
I am not familiar with his business dealings and or business sense.

I think he was. Who knows what the motive is for stealing the Gibb name... Can't be big money in t-shirts and key chains...they must just have it in for Helen .

That was a bit of a rip on DP. Sure, I know who he is (was), I grew up back then. He tests , he doesn't get a full ride. His name isn't above the 'door'! Who is he now? He's Dick Harrells' daughters' "boyfriend"!!! (Hope they don't sue me for using Dickies'name!)

Like many others I had the pleasure of meeting Helen and Nancy at SC8 and I couldn't belive how generous they were in displaying their own personal family albums, with all of the original racing photos. Wasn't it Helen that provided the Vin numbers to Super Chevy at no charge? I feel that she has given alot to the hobbie and think it's a damn shame that she is being put through this.
