Henry Harrison was one of the true fan
favorites, competing at many Nightfire events in the nitro Funny Car ranks.
Harrison was always very colorful and outspoken. He was the first driver at
Firebird to surpass the 240 mile per hour barrier, a run that saw him dance
from centerline to guardrail from the 500' mark to the finish stripe. When
interviewed following the spectacular run, all Henry would say is, "NO
GUTS, NO GLORY". Image by Dick Porter from the `81 Nightfire Nationals
