Wayne, that one is not ringing any bells with me. Did you post it on the Stock Super Stock group? Let me think about it and I can come up with anything I'll let you know. There were several "mountain" tracks in Georgia, but I never went to any of them. Do you have any idea what year Harold raced? The Petty reference narrows that down quite a bit though.

Subject: [GeorgiaDragRacing] Fw: old car info [1 Attachment]

    Richard Mcfalls is trying to help this guy get some info on his dad's old race car from the sixties. See the following email.



 Here's Jason's email:
***
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.  I was not able to find any of his trophies, and none of my family seems to know what happened to them either.  Nor do I know what class he raced.  I can tell you  that he lived in Marietta, GA.  He said he knew the Hardy's (ones that own/ed the Chevy dealership).  He claimed to have raced Richard Petty (I researched this and I guess he dragged for a year or so).  He also said he quit racing because he was in a bad crash.  I don't know the track, but he  said "the preacher's son" wanted to ride, so he was hunkered down in the car holding on to the roll bars.  Evidently, he went off the side of a mountain (this may help you narrow a track??), and the boy was killed.
 
Other than that, I don't know much more.  I was able to find a pic of his car and attached it.  Any info you may have is greatly appreciated.
****
