Where's Bucky Hess
 

At the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic last year, an announcement was made stating that Bucky Hess was selling his SS/AH '68 Barracuda. Does anyone know if Bucky has retired from racing? I haven't heard anything about him since the Dutch Classic.

I don't profess to speak for Bucky nor know all he is doing. However, I do know that he sold his car to the Teutons. It's probably being driven by L'il Joe at Belle Rose. Bucky had a new car built by Phil Mandella. Bucky & crew are wiring it, painting, etc. so he should be out with the car later this year. I'm sure it will be a beauty.

Bucky Hess also posted on another message board that he took a 65 Belveder Hemi car
in trade for the SS/AH Cuda from the Teutons so he is also working on that car too.

Julie and Philip, thanks for the info. I am glad that Bucky will be returning with a new car. The Hemi Challenge wouldn't be quite the same without him.

Is Bucky going to get some Harry Horsepower and make it an all West Coast car?????

Bob,

Bucky has his own in-house engine program going with Joe Scott. He's doing quite well with it.

That would be Joe Clark.

We are looking forward to seeing Bucky in TOP/SS this year with the B car.. Our first meet will be Bowing Green Ky. Memorial Day.
