[StockSSDragRacing] Jim Harrington 2007 Norwalk

 

I knew Jim only as an acquaintance, having meet him only the day that these pictures were taken. I was introduced through mutual friends Steve Haller and Mike Fuqua at the 2007 NHRA Summit Nationals in Norwalk. These pictures were taken late Friday night after qualifying was complete at an impromptu gathering in Mike Fuqua's pit area. Tony Schumacher stopped by and when Jim saw Tony he wanted me to take some pictures of a mock fight, supposedly over the use of the nickname "Shoe", that he wanted to stage with Tony. These good natured pictures are the result. When I showed Jim what I had shot he thought they were funniest pictures he'd ever seen, he was laughing so hard that he lived up to one of his other nicknames "Happy". I had only meet him hours earlier but he made me feel like we were life long friends. God Speed Jim, you will be missed. Tom
