SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?

hemitime · 09-01-2017, 03:06 PM

Watching Indy this year noticed a few Hemi cars missing , then got looking back at former entry lists and couldn't help wonder ,where are they ? There must be a lot of cars parked collecting dust , not just in the AH class but past SS/ A and AA Hemi cars as there are alot of cars as well don't seem to be active anywhere . The point here is to get some mothballed or inactive cars out there again in many venues ,Hemi shootouts , being local Hemi shootouts or otherwise . So it would be interesting to start posting here on this post some cars sitting that may be up for grabs and start finding new homes with people that have interest in promoting these cars again for next generations . I know there is a for sale section but this is more brand specific , this could get interesting !

One of Ogburns Cudas (Jenkins ?) was for sale on racing junk awhile back ,not sure if it changed hands. The Houser DeFrank Cuda is now Steve Comellas I believe, was at Indy this year. What ever happened to Fahertys dart?

The Miller & McCallum (Don McCallum) '68 Hemi Cuda SS/AA car has been parked for a while now. Don s getting up there so that could be the reason. I don't think it's been sold either.

Don MacCallum hasn’t owned that car for quite awhile ,his last car was bought by Don Cloake . MacCallum drove the car for Cloake after Cloake purchased it and had Cloake ,Miller, and MacCallum on the door , Cloake took over the driving duties years ago and still races it as of last year . MacCallums first in the 8s (Don ran it first Bucky backed it up)Cuda he had before that car went to Eddie Smith , last I heard Bill Brooks from Florida had it but haven’t heard of it for years , anyone know what Bills doing with the Car?

My last conversation with Alberta Brooks(around Christmas time) was the engine was being freshened, but had no fire in it yet. No plans for racing dates were mentioned at that time. I've attached a picture of the car and a replica I built for them.
