A friend dropped off page 52 from his copy of National Dragster with a picture of Harry and the Big Blue Merc.

Harry was winner at Tri-State Dragway July 29, ran 15.01 on 14.98 dial.

Nice job Harry

Thanks   John , actually our own Y-block reporter Bob Martin does publicity for the local track "Tristate Dragway" & sends National Dragster the pictures every week so I guess they picked that one to publish.An Old Man in a different old car.

Way to go Harry!  It's great to see the old guys beat the youngsters.  It won't make National Dragster, since our track doesn't supply articles, but on Aug 25 this old timer found his way to the winner's circle.  Then again on Sept 8 I again found myself in the final, only this time I lost by a breakout.

John.  Congrats for your final round showings.  That will keep the youngsters guessing.

 

For those that do not get the National Dragster publication, here’s the scan of the page showing Harry with his car after that particular win.
