...the Charlie Castaldo Hemi Dart's are sure documented well judging by all of the old photos available.

Lightweight, that thing sure sits high in the back...got anymore pics of it.

Any luck finding one of those '77 bracket race programs...you would think there would be a name in the entries list?

Ya it sat real high with no weight in it. I changed rear springs a few years back, it still sits high, but not as high as that. I can slide under it without a creeper tho,----- at least I used to be able to-----.
No luck finding one of those programs yet, still looking. If you or anyone has or locates one ,PLEASE let me know.
Your right, the name of the driver/owner should be in that program for sure. I believe that would be the missing key I'm looking for to start opening doors.
I have been in contact with Bob Frey & he is going to see if he can help me out also. Bob probably has done more commentating in NED than anyone out there.

here a pic taken in 2008??? Not as high but still tall. This is the stance most often seen with one of these cars still retaining leaf springs

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I wonder if your '68 Hemi Dart ever made it to any of these events at Englishtown Raceway Park back in 1977...

I don't know about the darts but there were cudas there at the div 1 points races. I remember cudas of Clayton Wright he still owns it also George Baptistes he also still owns his too. And the Centalone bros spelling may be wrong. Claytons was auto the other two were sticks.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I'm pretty sure by the sounds of it according to previous posts that this '68 Hemi Dart was bracket racing, and wasn't as fast as the other '68 Hemi Darts & Barracudas that you mentioned above...the car was almost 10 years old by then.

Vickie Strell racing a real Hemi Dart

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

that looks like Cam Noseworthy's old Demented Dart racing @ Mission when Jerry had it.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Anyone here remember Frank Spittles '68 Hemi Dart...does anyone know whose car it was originally.
