Maybe formerly the Jerry McClure "Scootin' Cuda" ?
Greenville MS was not that far away.

Not a real BO car. If I am not mistaken this was built as a bracket car for Tommy Slaughter's son (Banning & Slaughter).

Thank you.
Never know what will turn up searching random photos. Might find a jewel in a junkyard, so to speak.

Good friend brought his beautiful B029 car out to the recent Woodburn Mopar race...these cars draw crowds whenever/wherever they make an appearance.

Does your good friend have a name? I believe that car was at Mission earlier this year and nobody seems to know who he is.

Denny Dormaier has owned the car for many years and since retirement he's finally had time to turn his attention to the car, first getting the engine together and most recently sorting some handling issues (some of which was done at Mission). He frequents the forum occasionally, has an album on it and also like me, bracket raced for many years on an occasional basis (working for Boeing more likely than not requires most evenings and weekends so little time for racing). Introduce yourself to him next time you see him at Mission, heck of a nice guy; even has some social skills considering he's an engineer.

Jim, thanks for the compliment. I'll try to live up to it.

Dale, the car hasn't been to Mission for two years. I took it to a TnT Friday in Sept. '11. That's the only time the car was at Mission.

Danny, the white BO29 car that you saw at the Nationals in Seattle is owned by a guy who goes by "bobbyboy" on this site. He posted #2173, #2176 and #2177 on the "Original Hemi Dart" thread. I have not had the opportunity to meet him, but have seen his car. However, I have not seen his car at the track to be raced. He lives about 20 miles from me.

Mark J gave me the owners list for this car. Thanks, Mark. The list is in reverse chronological order of ownership, i.e. me first:

Denny Dormaier, WA
Bill Johnson , WV
Frank Spittle, NC
Dr Eric Neumeyer,WI
Jerry Shankel, OH
John Wolf, KS
Paul Suloff, OH
Billy Lyons, OH
A.J. Lancaster, TN
John Livingston, TN

I've included some pictures, including the car around 1987 with a blue paint scheme.

Denny
