M68,

Great find.

Preston Honea and the original SS/BA
Ray Rixman Dodge out of St. Louis, Missouri.

The Bill Flynn SS/B Dart.
Looks like the Super Stock Magazine Nationals at
New York National Speedway July 1968.

Great scores.........

HM,

I found that photo here:

Sorry, can't help you with the details; perhaps this fellow can:

"These are photographs I took in 1969 and 1970 at Minnesota Dragways in Coon Rapids, MN while I was their photographer and ambulance attendant."

Was it a green dart? If so I remember him from running at Milan. The guy was from Ohio. I'll have to dig up his name. Jake

the Bob Reed Dart was not a orginal Dart as he bought it from Larry Buckingham and it had a 440 in at that time. The Car later went to Tueton as the Cajun Flyer and now is owned by Joe Faherty.
Here is a picture of it right after Bob got the car running and its still painted blue
