Harry Sheehan at the drag race in heaven
 
We had another loss today at 5:10 when Harry went home to be with the Lord as a result of liver failure. Lots of great times and stories. Keep Mrs Sheehan, Tommy and the rest of the family in your thoughts and prayers. Will post additional details as they develop. Meanwhile, any funny Harry stories should be posted as he totally enjoyed life and racing.

So very sorry to hear this.

Harry was a Great Guy and a Very Good Racer. He was one of the first racers I met back in the mid 70's when I started racing Super Stock.

My Sincere Condolences to all of his family.....

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tommy, Elaine and all the Sheehan family and friends. Harry was a great guy. Funny as well. I remember one year at Hagerstown for dinner, some good jokes and stories were told to us by/about Harry. R.I.P. Harry. You, Carl, Beaver, Walt, my father, and many more are probably telling good stories in Heaven.

Re: Harry Sheehan at the drag race in heaven
 
As far as Harry stories, the first year I was announcer for our Tri-State S/SS Association (1997), Harry and a few others were on the starting line near the tower at the track near Steubenville OH. While they did something on the track, I talked about Harry and said "Some of you older fans may remember Harry racing in/around Pittsburgh". They were laughing, and Harry looks up at me and shakes his fist at me lol. I certainly did not mean he was old. Just referencing back to when Harry raced about twenty or so years earlier.

Re: Harry Sheehan at the drag race in heaven
 
I will never know a person who LOVED OR WILL LOVE NHRA Super Stock racing more than Harry Sheehan. He was in his element at an NHRA race. The competition, the mechanics, the people and atmosphere, he just thrived. Every moment I spent with Harry, I will cherish forever. My condolences to the Whole Sheehan Family.

Harry, the constant prankster got me good at Columbus one year. I had one of those pair of baggy jeans when I was a kid and of course they were around my ankles after Harry saw me hanging on the fence watching. It was only in front of the large grandstand right as Top Fuel was running. I always wore a belt after that!

Famously, some years later in 2004 at Columbus, Harry was so frustrated with a series of gremlins and transmission problems that he was ready to throw in the towel. The words... I QUIT were uttered a couple of times that weekend. However, that weekend, Tommy was on fire and won the race. We all know there with many successes after that.

I will cherish all of the talks we had, the CB radio conversations on the road, the knowledge you gave me, and all of the racing and life lessons I have gained by watching you.

Rest in Peace Harry.

Carl Schodde Jr.
