Yes, that was a Carlton-Hodges chassis he borrowed to run at Columbus. Landy wrecked his original Dart twice. He rebuilt it the first time.

So the car that I saw at the Muscle Car Museum is Huff's old car ?

Here's one for ya. I bought this a while back being told it was a pro stocker. 70 maverick Dana 60 ladder bars. No engine or trans. I sanded to the original 70s war paint. Let me know if you recognize the car as I don't have any real history on it.http://rs156.pbsrc.com/albums/t3/Chr...qy.jpg~320x480

I don't know where the Mahogany Rush record photo went but I'm talking about the 1980 Mahogany Rush Dodge Omni.


Yes it did. I know that Joe Roy drove it when the car was still a Pro Stock but that didn't last too long. Rene Lessard bought it, I don't know what year that was, made a couple of passes and put it away for some years. I bought it in 1993, had it rebuilted with a new rear frame and a new cage. I raced it from 1995 to 1999, won a few races, Ran 8.77-153 best, with a cast iron heads 446c.i., then I sold it to a guy from Regina sask. It hasn't changed much since. I haven't talked to the current owner for the past two years but I think he is still racing it. I don't know how to post pics. Sorry.

I saw this car in the pits (near staging lanes entrance) with Frank and crew doing work on the engine before first qualifying session on Friday afternoon at the 1981(?) Summernationals in Englishtown, NJ.
