Yeah I was thinking the same thing...it's just hard to make out the lettering on the side of the '68 Hemi Dart called 'City Dodge' in that photo.

That did not include the "NHRA Sanctioned National Record Meet" runs.

Also;
NHRA Winternationals @ Pomona, California (February 2,3,4 )
NHRA Springnationals @ Englishtown, New Jersey (June 14,15,16)
NHRA Indy Nationals @ Indianapolis, Indiana (August 30 & September 1,2,)
The July 20-21 1968 event at Bluegrass Dragway had two darts in the Super Stock final. Paul Richardson in the "Hustlin Hemi" vs Ron Mancini in his 383 Dart. Richardson won.
Mancini returned for the 1969 Divison 3 event and won SS in his Hemi Dart.

Here's another one of the Mancini's old cars, this '68 Hemi Dart was street driven and never raced competitively by them, but it was raced by some one else earlier...it was also featured in an old Hot Rod magazine.

There are very few photos of this '68 Hemi Barracuda called 'Kandi Kuda'...I'm curious if this car is still around today.

That is the Cuda that I remember from I R P from years ago. I just couldn't figure out how Paul was racing at Indy back then. This one was candy apple red and NOT Pauls car. So I'm not losing my mind after all......yet!

If you Google Nelson Stoltz you find a neat video of his Willy's gasser from the early sixties. Looks like he's still alive and kickin'
