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.

If it is the one I am thinking of - it was originally called "Rumble Bee" - probably still was - originally out of NC - it is still around owned by a collector/racer in PA - hing he drives a CJ now.
The white Barracuda is Ray Christian's old car - here owned by Bob Stape - former manager of Keystone Dragway

Nelson Stoltz restored his old Willys - talked to him and saw the car at the HRR in Bowling Green a number of years ago.

Paul,
Nice list - but there are a few mistakes - same car listed twice, 2nd owners, not real cars and some cars were not Darts or Barracudas. I made many of the same mistakes when I started the registry. One hint since the Joe Smith photo came up - The Joe Smith car and the McBroom Motors car are the same - I have pics of both and it is Joe Smith's car not sure what happened to the Dealer Sponsorship.

Th A.J. Foyt photo is interesting because he DID run a Chrysler very briefly for Norm Nelson in USAC - Norm was from here in town and his son showed me some pics of both cars on the trailer - 65 Plymouth I beleive - this might have been the Dealer that sponsored the car???

OK southern racers. In the late '80's R&R Speed Shop in Huntsville AL raced an original '68 Dart. I don't know where it came from but I arranged the sale of it to a guy named Bill (not Blair) from Concord NC. Does anyone have information on where it came from or where it went after the sale?
