Re: [Chrysler300] Lyle Fisher, Tuscon Dragway - anyone know of him???

Sure.? Chris Karamesines?is known as The Golden Greek.? He was a major drag racer.? His dragsters were called The Chizler.? There is a controversy as to whether he or Don Garlits was the first to crack 200 mph in the quarter.? I saw him in an exhibition race at Oswego, Ill. in the early 60's after he went 200.? There was a little moisture on the track, so he only hit 180 when I saw him.? I think he's still around, altho in his late 70's.? He was still doing exhibition runs within the last several years.? You can probably get in touch with him.

Good day to everyone out there in 300  Land:
 
In doing some research on the history of my 300E, I came across a couple of 
 names.  Has anyone ever heard of or know of Lyle Fisher owner or  former 
owner of Tuscon Dragway dating from the mid 1960s?  Or maybe someone  knows 
of a Chris KARAMESINES (not sure of the spelling) from  Chicago???  Any help 
would be appreciated.
 
Apparently these gents originally owned my car (big red) when she was  
built.
