Original hemi dart information

Mr. Rolik,
You are my hero! What great photo's from the past

Chuck McJury was based out of Schenectady, but was sponsored by
Stevensons Garage in Syracuse. Also, the home base for Ed Miller in his beautiful SS/B Cuda, who was also sponsored by Stevensons Garage.
Chuck ran at Dover a few times (68' thru 70'). A great race between him and Charlie Castasldo's SS/BA at Dover in 69'. Both running 10.70's or so.
That picture of Charlie's car (the second car) is right on for the 1970 or
1971 circa. The first car (SS/B) had DODGE lettered on the "B" pillar
behind the rear-side window.
Bill Stiles Cuda. Beautiful SS/BA car. Was at Dover, and later with his
Pro/Stock Duster in 70'/71'. The Cuda set the NHRA SS/AA record in
early 70' (I have to check, but it may have been at 10.25 or so). When he crushed the record, most of the guys running the SS/AA cars, that were running 10.60's or so, had to unload the Darts and Cuda's for S/S or convert to Pro/Stock to be competitive. A good time to be in the
market for a 68' Hemi. One could be had for about $5500.

Northeast-based Cuda's;
Ed Miller, Syracuse, NY
Bob Gaudreau, "Kandy Kuda", Bristol, Ct.
John Macey, "Heads Up", New Haven, Ct (My all-time favorite)
Phil Cerrone, "Harris Auto Sales", Providence, R.I.
Jack Werst, "Mr. 5 & 50", Willingboro, NJ
Ken Montgomery, "555", Rosyln, Pa.
* Ken Montgomery came to Dover in 1970, ran in Pro/Stock with SS/B
Cuda, for a circuit meet.
Don't forget Jack Arnew's Cuda, Baltimore, Maryland.

Paul.
OH, W J. The "Flintstone Charger" spent many of time following
"Doc" Burgess in the AWB-converted "Black Arrow" in 66' and 67'
hop-scotching all of the northeast AWB match-race events.
