The value of this car dropped like a brick after it was pushed into the weeds at SAAC31 by some old dude w/ a beard.
Dick was a great driver and quite the gentleman. He is sorely missed.
I had a ringside seat for that "event" at SAAC 31,watched the whole thing happen as I was not too far behind Dick at the time....he joked about it afterwards!!!!!!!!!!
Agree,you be hard pressed to find a nicer guy,heck of a driver even at his age then, and for sure, a gentleman in every way....

Rick: I would be very skeptical the the original engine was in the car at SAAC 31, I'm betting the original engine has been long gone......with the car/drivers extensive race history, those engines didn't last that long and were discarded once they were used up or blown......
