Hello, you would not remember me, I was only 10 yrs old, my dad & butch fryer were building Hal's engines and helping to work or the car for a few seasons.

were you at daytona in '69? apparently Hal qualified with the alum heads, magnesium water pump & intake manifold, then they were forced to remove those parts and put the stock parts back on the engine for the race. I think Hal lost 2nd gear and Pete Consiglio passed Hal for the win on the last lap or next to the last lap.
regards, karl
