[Liteweight]

Hey Mark
Would you mind posting the LO cars that have not been accounted for. Might make my quest a little easier??? I hope.



Hustlin hemi SS/BA .This car has a 270 style trunk finish panel & front fender side markers. A real one?

Cool race cars on the back of cool trucks...those were the days...

Paul Richardson,,,,,,,,,,,Miami Valley Dodge out of Ohio,,,,

Rear deck lid (trunk),,,,,,,,,,not a big deal,,

Some guys pulled of the fiberglass deck lid, and replaced it with a
steel trunk lid off of a regular Dart,,,,for a little added weight,,,,

See Dick Landy's 4-speed Dart,,,,,,he has a trim panel fastened to the trunk deck lid,,,,,,,,in several photo's.

The photo of the Miami Valley Dodge SS/BA car is from
the 1968 Springnationals (June 1968) @ Englishtown.

Don't think those guys would have had time to do a complete clone
job back then,,,,,\

Paul,,doesn't look like anyone wants to take a stab at this one,,including myself. Once again though, a great photo from a bygone era. However, I'm thinking that the car on the right, up front, could be a Charlie Allen car and the Dart in back, also on the right, looks to be a Landy car, with the Charger 2 cars in front of it. Thanks for posting these.

If you look on the other side of the fence, directly above the near Dart on the right, you can see the Sox & Martin rig with what looks to be the rear end of a "B" body facing away from the fence. Can't tell if its the Road Runner or their GTX.

Don Grotheer,,,SS/B
(photo from 1968 NHRA World Finals, October 20, 1968)
Tulsa International Raceway,,,,, Tulsa, Oklahoma

Clearly one of the best looking BO29 Hemi Barracuda's

1968 NHRA Super Stock Eliminator Runner-Up @ Springnationals
June 1968, SS/B National Record Holder @ 10.91

After the 1968 racing season, Don Grotheer purchased the Barracuda from
Cable Chrylser-Plymouth (who owned the car).
It was re-painted with the blue and orange stripe, and Don campaigned it in
SS/BA. He won the 1969 NHRA Winternationals Super Stock Eliminator, and re-set the
SS/BA National Record to 10.72 (from 10.83).

HM,

The last race for Shirley 'Drag-On-Lady' Shahan in her SS/BA Dart,
was at the 1969 NHRA Winternationals.

She was beaten in the Super Stock Eliminations by
Arlen Vanke in his SS/B Barracuda.

There is a photo of both the Dart and Arlen Vanke at
the line in Pomona,,,,,,see the photo on the Arlen Vanke site.
