I think the guy with the Fred Gibb shirt on was Dick Harrell. That guy is pretty darn thin.

Hey Hoss, compared to you, everybody's thin!

Could be Dick,........... or Fred, or.... If you zoom in it looks like he's wearing a red jacket over the red shirt. Depends on when the picture is dated. Is that the '71 S&M car? If so, and if I see what I think I do (some gray hair), then I would have to say it's Fred.

Someone should have an answer soon!

Mark, to see that car running so hard that it twists axles off like they were made of chewing gum is just flat out awesome. Anyone who says these cars are just "investments" and that the interest in them is going to go away should change their mind in about 30 seconds at any SCR Friday afternoon. I think I can speak for everyone helping out that it was cool to be able to get it all back together and ready to kick some more a$$ with the limited resources available, although I must admit that Howie's tailgate made a pretty good workbench. Besides that, how many guys can honestly say they worked on a Phase III Baldwin Motion car? (even if it was with 3 flatblade screwdrivers, a 3/8" drive extension and a claw hammer. )

no way was that Howie's truck we were working on!!..I did'nt see one crushed beer can in the bed...he must have borrowed it from the neighbor... the clutch pack springs put up a fight but we prevailed. like the guys said no guy left behind and it was fun to get dirty out playing.

Budnate, 7:00 that night I parked next to Capt. Carls truck which we sat on the tail gate. The back of the box became a can box. The next day 50+ cans and pizza box was in the back of it.

Not surprised......These guys would give you the shirt off their backs! They did the same for me and I am sure they will do it again for someone else!

TRUE CLASS ACTS!!

Typical Supercar workshop! Instead of enjoying the race,they help a fellow member in need. Always willing to help.

Hello, Mark it was me and Randy that took your son to the store to pick up the gear lube and other supplies. It was no problem. I was glad to give a hand where I could to get your car back together. I know that I was amazed at the crowd of people that where working on the car once we got back with the supplies. What a great bunch of guys.

It was very nice to hang out with you and your son at the show and banquet. I enjoyed hearing your car stories. I was also going to let you know that I'm still working on getting the information on the guy that made the Motion T-shirt I was wearing. I'm pretty sure I have his information some where. I will PM you once I find it. Talk to you later and take care. Jesse

Two years ago it was Frankie's water pump...this year it was Hassett's axle exchange...Do you think next year the SCW crew can perform a 427 conversion in the pits in honor of it being the 10th anniversary Yenko Reunion and all?
