I heard from the Harrell camp today... They have no problem with this car because it was sold as a Harrell car. The problem they have is with licensed drag cars and their position is if the name is on the car and there is a accident at the drag strip where someone gets hurt, every name on the car gets sued. The Howie car used the Harrell name as a licensee for drag racing back then and when the car sold to a new owner it was no longer licensed. I personally think that all this comes with the territory when you trademark a name for commerce. I don't know all the facts on the Howie car history to know what is factual and what isn't and I don't care enough to read up on it but I do believe that every name on the car will get sued. Maybe the license fee goes for Insurance or maybe it doesn't.
