Harrells 61 409
photo of the '61 with Dick Harrell with his green/white '09 That photo was taken at the San Gabriel Drag Strip the weekend prior to the 62 Winternationals. That is Mr. Chevrolet himself behind the wheel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 61 photo was taken at a tune-up event the week before the Winternationals in San Gabriel Ca. You can recognize the mountainrange in the background. The car at the right edge of the picture was the front of "the late" Les Ritchey406" Ford. All the hot dogs were there... Ronda, Nicholson, M.T., Profitt, Landy, Ritchey. Strickler - Jenkins. Dick had them scratching their heads, because they had only heard of, but never seen him prior to that. If I remember correctly, only Nicholson was quicker on that day, by hundreths...JE... ..
