I go back a little further than many of you....I remember Harmie when he worked at the "Big 4 Tire" store in S'port. It was on Greenwood Road across from the Fairgrounds grandstand....he had a 64-65 Mercury Murader that he ran a few times at I-20....it was a tank....if I remember correctly it would barely get in the 16s....but he was living his dream. He later drove the 69-70 Boss 302 Mustang that Jack Gladden owned. I grew up across the street from the Gladden family and Jack is responsible for my brother and I getting into drag racing....our first race to attend was Twin Lanes in Hallsville around 1962....it's ironic that my brother asked about Harmie a few months ago.
