life after Super Stock for the Hemi A-bodies?

[Paul Ceasrine]

Danny,

Correct,,
Some of the early Pro/Stock cars were lugging down the track
at 10.80's and higher,,,,,,,,,,,

In mid-1970 at Dover Drag Strip, there were usually '4' cars entered in
Pro/Stock (Dover regulars),,,
'2' 68' Hemi Darts, a 70' Hemi Duster, and a 69' 427 Nova,,,,,,,

Nobody was blazing a trail, and there wasn't a large group of cars entering the Pro/Stock ranks,

But the money was decent at the time,,,,,,,$300 Winner / $150 Runner-Up
for a 'round-robin double elimination' event with '4' cars participating,
so at least you would get to see '6' races,,,,,,,

In early-1970, sometimes only '2' cars showed up for Pro/Stock,,,,,,,
so it would be a 'best 2 out of 3',,,,,,,,with the winner getting $200, and the loser 'zip'.

Anyone know where the first Pro Stock race took place, I believe they had X's marked on the side windows for the new class.

I couldn't tell you where those four cars were racing...but here's another shot of Bob Lambeck's pro stock 68 Hemi Dart at the 71 Winternationals.

I remember a Maryland track running four wide years ago. I believe that it was Capital but I am not sure. I remember seeing a picture from the later 1970's when Dyno Don ran a Mustang II at that track when he ran an 8.06 in a four way match race against Grumpy and Sox and another car that I cannot remember. The best that any of the other ones ran was in the 8.30's I believe.
