I am in the process of gathering information on Henry (Hank) Becker and his 1976 speedster that won the Shell Hill Climb. Pictures, Biography anything. The speedster only (no motor) is presently in storage and a little history on him and his speedster would be great when we display it later. Send to: daveziegler@sbcglobal.net

I have read in the FAST magazine the engine was put in a sprint car the Foxy Lady. There was a picture of Becker sitting in it. His 1976 climber still has people uptight. It is mentioned often in connection with safety inspections as FAST meets. LaRue Thomas beat it the next year with a D.O. Gemsa powered roadster, setting the all time record on the hill, I have been told.
