Handsome Harry was my favorite driver back in the day, love this car!  Saw him in person at Dover in '83, rim riding the Monster Mile.

Yes, indeed! Actually got to meet him at Lime Rock. Really nice man. Been wanting to build a couple more of his rides.

Very nice build of Harry's Monte.  In my late teens (many years ago) I used to frequent Hickory Motor Speedway every Saturday night and watch Jack Ingram, Ned Setzer, Roy Trantham, and others ripping up the asphalt with their Tri-5's.  One night some fellow showed up with a '64 Chevelle and set a brand new track record, he got taken out in the final.  The next week Jack Ingram reset the record with his '55 Chevy, but the Chevelle moved it down another notch, and won the feature.  That fellow was a young Harry Gant.  He had been running Asheville-Weaverville, but decided to give Hickory a try. Within a couple of years he was running Winston Cup.
