Re: Connecting Highway
cammer427,
S & K got one of the original (84) Hemi Darts. The first major race for the
SS/B or SS/BA cars was at the 68' Springnationals. The S & K Dart was definitely at the 68' (July 68) Super/Stock Magazine Nationals. And I
do believe the Nationals (at Indy, Labor Day). They ran the car the whole season. American Motors decided to get into the S/S fray in December
68', and stole Shirley Shahan ('Drag-On-Lady') from Mopar, as well as a few other Mopar-backed racers. The first AMX S/S cars were running in
late-March or April. Not sure the exact time the Mutt Brothers got the car,
but I think early 69', as S & K was involved with AMX project, at about the same time.
The S & K car, if I can remember (long time ago) was running right around 10.95 (3/10's off the record). J & B Automotive (Brooklyn)
sponsored the SS/B car. Ran in the 10.90's when I saw it at the track.
Not completely sure on the length of service of the Dart in the hands of the Mutt Brothers.
