Has anybody posted any pictures of the Musgrave & Sullivan Wayne County Speed Shop Hemi Dart? I'm not even sure it was an "original" Hemi Dart, ( I'm sure Mark J knows) because when I used to see it run at Coles County Dragway, I believe it was running Modified Production (late 60's early 70's). It was a big part of the reason my Dart has red wheels. I used to see there black Dart with gold wheels, and thought that was "cool", but I liked red better, so I used it.

Coles County was a little 1/8 mile out in the middle of no-where Illinois basically, but a lot of Hemi cars ran there. Besides seeing Wayne County's Dart, Lloyd McVey's Invader ran there a lot, Billy Fritz ran a '68 Hemi Cuda there a lot, plus all the other Hemi cars around there.

As far as I know, it is still in operation. A funny side note, I wasn't old enough to drive, so a time or two, I rode over there, from Terre Haute, IN, in an original '68 Hemi GTX, that my friend Chris Sanders raced, and still races.
Anyway, enough story telling for now!!
