Somewhere in Riverside County is thought to be some guy named Greg. Why I am being obtuse here is beyond me; his last name is sprinkled over the hardcore drag sites as I write this. No matter. The person in discussion has apparently made off (can't think of a better term for it..) with the final, beautiful Bel-Air of the late, heavily-mourned Dyno Don Nicholson. Cindy Nicholson has beseeched the "NHRA" community for anyone knowing the whereabouts of "Greg" and the car...which Mr. G. had supposedly kept in storage- incurring costs for Dyno's car in lieu of payments on a 7,000.00 promissory note Dyno had agreed upon prior to Mr. Nicholson's slide into his protracted disease.
Exactly what the details precisely are will come out in court..prelim. investigators already declined to press embezzeling charges. Wally Bell (no relation to Wally Booth...or Art Bell..) tells me: "..there are two sides to this. Trust me."
What brought it to our attention was an attempt to unload the car on EBay for a tidy 99,999.00.
Brazen! I reinterate my opinion posted on the Drag Racing List yesterday. I am outraged. The Nicholson family deserved better than this petty shell game. The car belongs, ultimately, to the ages- the Nicholson Brothers were akin to starting lineup in the orig. Cinci Red Stockings..they were present at the beginning of ALL TIME AND SPACE. Genesis had nothin' on Don and Harold Nicholson.
