Rich had '2 locations.

I was at the Poughkeepsie Store {Route 44} many times picking up Speed Parts from 1969 thru 1971, before my father started selling Speed Equipment

M & M was one of the top Speed Parts outlet stores throughout the Hudson Valley.

M & M could get you the newly released Speed Parts 'fast'.

They did not have a Machine Shop, as they farmed it out. But I do believe Rich was looking to get a Machine Shop going in the
late-1970's

I have word that M&M were involved with a Hemi Dart @ one time.
ANYONE?

Ah, come on now, Bob, .you can tell us you let the "boss" win. Nothing wrong with making him look good when the spotlight is on and at the same time ensuring job security.

Truth be told and I have a witness, the boss gets the win.

1973 NHRA Super Stock and Stock Class Weight Factors




Cook and Leong
1971 Dodge Charger R/T ~ 426 Hemi ~ Class 'B/SA'

In 1973,

The NHRA had re-factored the 1971 426/425 HP {Hydraulic Camshaft} to {450 HP}

#3839 lbs. ~ 450 HP = 8.53 Wt/HP

Now that was one nice weight break for 1973.

For Stock Class, any tires {DOT approved} that could fit within the Rear Fenderwell was permitted. This Charger R/T had 12" Wide Tires.

In 1973 Stock Class, you had run thru a full exhaust system {No Headers}.

Rumor has it, that this 1971 Dodge Charger R/T was 'chemically engineered' at the factory by Chrysler.

Artie is on here sometimes maybe he can give so info on the charger.
