Low or poor results is almost always aquired when the price of the purchase is in the same aera. When your health is of the most importants, buy the best equiptment for the job that, you can afford.
It will perform well and you most likley not hurt you because of it's
construction.

Well, because there is a points meet in the swamp this weekend (No Problem Raceway) I thought the Hemi Dart Fix of the Day should be this one:



Just seems right!

Hey all,
Long time lurker, although I do not post much. I was directed here by a member on a different racing website. I have made a few runs of these brackets, and have 4 sets available as of now. I had supposed buyers, but some of them had flaked.
They are identical to the original SS seat brackets from Hurst. They are meant to be used with the A-100 seats, but can be used with different seats by simply drilling a couple holes.
Please email me directly if you are interested. These are $200 for a set of 4 brackets. Thanks!

Longtime lurker, new poster here.

Today I had a conversation with a man who's father was an early owner of the 'Car of the Rising Sun' Dart. I recall the car racing at Cecil Co around 1971. I believe I have seen pictures of this car possibly racing around the Pittsburgh area later in the '70's? I am not sure of this. But it is my understanding the owner and driver of this car, Robert Good is currently in hospice care and would very much like to see a picture of his old car.

Please post any pictures you may have or information about the car and I will make sure his family is aware of this thread. Thank you very much. Mike

Gotta be some jack stands under there somewhere. Either that or the Landy team could make those cars of their's float.

Working in white pants! Wow, I would be all greasy in a hurry....

Looks like possibly a grey or silver jackstand under the elbow, I'm thinkin'.
It seems most of the articles and features back in the day would often show Mike and Dick Landy wearing those white pants,,, and they were never dirty! They must've had a truck full of them, clean and ready to wear.

Not making this picture bigger. It's a Hemi Dart thread.lol

I read somewhere that it was in their contract with Chrysler because
they wanted to get away from the Rebel Without a Cause bad-boy biker
type of image that early drag racing took on.

Must have been a bitch to try to get anything done in those! I couldn't
walk from the truck to the trailer without having an "incident".
