harold "hal" keck passed away on monday jan 7th.   he was a northeast cobra 
privateer.  but his best remembered ride was daytona's 24 hours event of 1965 
when he co-drove the cobra daytona coupe to a second over all and first in 
class finish.    harold was an A-production national champion with numerous PHA 
records.  harold was a very good friend of my fathers  i spent many hours 
playing with his 3 children who are all about my age.    any of you who had the 
thrill of meeting or speaking with harold can attest to his fluency in 4 letter 
words.  kinda speaks of why you seem to never have any quotes in publications 
about that era or those cars!    harold is survived by his wife and two sons 
and daughter.    
on line expressions of sympathy can be left at:  www.heintzelmanfh.com  or the 
guest book:  mcall.com/obits
harold has taken his lasat checkered flag.   and i'm willing to bet he was 
first overall & first in class driving a cobra.
