The Speedwin Automotive was the Dart that I remembered, it was owned I believe by my brother's friend Joe Armor, he got tied up with Speedwin. If you look closely at the front fender there is "RamRod" the name of the car. The way the story went is that Speedwin was the machine shop for the engine, the original engine was sold to a fire company's race truck. Speedwin built Joe another engine and it siezed going through the traps, at that point Joe gave up the racing. If I have it wrong, I was a kid at the time and didn't understand the politics of what was going on. The car was fast, when we took it to Islip Speedway, it was the fastest car there. It had trouble stopping at that track.
