Re: Original hemi dart information
 

ss wannabe,,
Hard to find any good stuff on Milton, Vermont track,, Located in
northern Vermont,,,,closed in 1969. Had alot of A/FX cars there in
mid 60's...Try Ralph Ridgeway photos or Deb's Automotive out of
Hartford CT/Springfield, Mass. They had many of their racers up in Milton...Charlie Lendrum was up there in 66' with his 65' A/FX Chevelle
'Northern Shaker"..Shirley Muldowney was there (upstate New York
Chick),,as well as several New York Capitol Region (Albany County).
Again, hard to find any good pictures.,,I'll see what I can come up with.
Same thing with Orange Dragstrip (Fitchburg, Mass.) closed in early 70',
just as things were starting to get good.

ss wannabee,
Check the Burlington Free Press, for Milton Dragstrip pictures, from their archives..Also, Milton Town Hall has general info and stuff. More than I
can produce.
2fastforu,,
Have you ever heard of Bill Jensen,,1965 426 S/S Belvedere, Have a picture of him racing Charlie Lendrum (i believe its him).

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Is this by any chance the red "Docs Dart"????

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

No, it's a light teal color with a Paisley print inset on the sides with S&S Dyno Service on the doors. I always thought it was the old Kilbane Dodge dart out of Strongsville, Ohio.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

WJ or Flinstone,
Any info on a Joseph Patrelli or Petrelli.
Out of Springfield, Mass. Got one of the original 68' Hemi
Darts. SS/BA. Was lettered with 'Deb's Automotive' on the
front fender. Not a nice lettering job.
May have ended up in northeastern Mass, in 69'/70', as a
C/Gas car?
Paul

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Paul, flintstonecharger knows that Patrelli car, I'm sure.....The Gene O'Neill car ran frequently at the Milton, Vt. track....pretty sure of it...flintstone should comment on this, soon....WJ

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

WJ,
Thanks for the quick-response.
Not alot of info on this car. But, supposedly was one of the original
83 or 84, 68' Hemi Darts.
General info, says it came out of Hampden Dodge (State Street,
Springfield). Owner; Joseph Patrelli or Petrelli??
Was lettered with 'Deb's Automotive'. Poor lettering job on front fender.
No mags,,just steel wheels, Pretty rough paint too..
Have info on S/S Eliminator win at Orange Dragstrip. 11.20's in SS/BA
in 68', when the SS/BA minimum was 11.05. Must have been in
the summer of 68'.
Probably hit Milton, Vermont also for second-half of 68', until track closed in 69'. Car had to go through the "Deb's Dyno-Shop" in Springfield.
Lost car,,,traces of it in northeast, Mass. late 69' and 70'??
