The comellas focus on the indy hemi challenge

But now comes the U.S. Nationals and the Hemi Challenge. “The Barracuda is our shootout car and is built to run as quick as it can and we only run it a few times a year at special events like the Indy race,” says Steve Comella.

Here's a tale from 1969 Regarding Chuck and his Hemi Dart:
I was taking a time trial in our k/sa '60 Impala at E.S.T.A. Safety Park in

Cicero, NY. I was 16 yrs. old. I left on the green and Chuck just sat there for a bit. He launched and went around me about 1,000 ft. like I was in park. That big old car of ours(my Dad too) just shook from that Hemi flying by. He ran in the low/ mid 10's, I ran 14.0 on a 13.20 national record. I still remember that after 50 plus years. It's still a great memory.
I wish Chuck and his son the best this weekend. Safe racing everyone.
