Sorry I haven't been on this site for a while, I bought an old Chrysler-Plymouth-DeSoto dealership in Rockford, IL and it has been taking all my time! If you go to the Carlisle site you will see the Hurst Reunion under the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals that is where you sign-up for the L0/B0 reunion. Yes there will be clone parking in the lot outside the Expo Center, so get your registration in soon! I will be letting you all (northern speak) know what cars are coming soon!

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I'm assuming you found that on Facebook. Curious at to what page?

Definitely taken in 1971 at a divisional race in D1, I'm guessing at Maple Grove, looking down at the staging lanes. That might even be at the Dutch Classic?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

This must be my little buddy that goes by the name of Mike
Thankyou for that.......lol

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Good eyes once again Terry. I believe this blue Dart was owned by a guy with the last name of Knight. Cant remember his first name.
If it is then it is Dick Oldfields "Good Guys" Dart

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Paul, I've been reading this blog for years and finally joined because I want to ask about the 35 Hemi Darts and Cudas that showed up at E-town for the 68 NHRA Springnationals. I can name 15 of them. I'm curious if you or anybody else reading this can name the other 20. I sat down and listed as follows: Sox & Martin, Don Grotheer, Arlen Vanke, Bill Stiles, Ed Miller, Chuck Ostrich, Nelson Stoltz, John Hagen, Harold Dutton, Dick Landy, Bill Flynn, Larry Cooper, Mary Ann Foss, Bob Ramstrom and Paul Richardson's cars.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

A while back Terry Drinkwater posted about a car that his brother once owned. Terry if you are still on here can you contact me? Does anyone have contact info or know where he is from? Thanks,

First off. Welcome here.
Unfotunately Paul left us suddenly a couple years ago. He is really missed here.

I like where your going with this. I'm thinking Paul prolly could of pulled every name outta his massive memory he had for this kind of information
Mopar68 do you still have all your old paperback ETown stuff?

liteweight

Good to see there is more paperwork getting back with the appropiate cars

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thank you for your reply, Liteweight. Very sorry to hear about Paul. Clearly, he had a wealth of knowledge and he will be missed by me as well, even though I never met him. As a builder of 1/25th scale drag car models, I've benefited from many of the things that have been shared here. I place a high value on historical accuracy of my models, but since I was only 14 in 1968, I need the help of those who lived it. I've accumulated stacks of car magazines from the glory days of drag racing, and I've narrowed my focus to the Super Stock Mopars that invaded E-Town in June of 68. Paul had said that 35 B029's and L029's showed up for the Springnationals, making 20 more than I knew about. I have the magazine articles on the subject and I think the Sept 68 article in SS&DI was the best. For anybody who's interested, Bee On Video sells a DVD of the Springnationals from 65 thru 68. Considering that it's a gleaning of very old film from amateur photographers, it's excellent. The 68 Springnationals articles I have, are from Car Craft [9/68], Hot Rod [9/68], Popular Hot Rodding [9/68], SS&DI [9/68], Drag Strip [11/68], Rodder & Super Stock [11/68] and American Rodding [12/68]. I wonder if I missed any. I'm hoping someone can help me find some other puzzle pieces. Thank you for welcoming me, and hopefully I can offer something worthwhile to this group.

Lifted it from another site, I have no clue where or when.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Hi Mark. I'm not sure if you were talking to me, but it looked like you quoted me before making the above statement. Do you have info on the B029 and L029 cars that attended the 68 Springnationals at E-Town?

Re: Original hemi dart information

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Hemi hardtops had four headlights..
