Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Here are some pictures I took while going to the Winternationals in Pomona. I grew up in La Verne, a small city just to the north of Pomona. I took alot of these pictures in 1984 and 1985 with my first camera I got when I was 17, so not the greatest quality.

I also didn't really know the history behind these cars at the time---all I knew is I loved watching these things go down the track, and it is these cars that got me into drag racing. I now drag race a 2006 Mustang GT with a 572 CID big block ford that turns 9.1Xs @ 149 on motor only. I would love to own a hemi dart or barracuda, but I would have to sell my house to own one.

This Hemi Dart I took pictures of a few years later, I think around 1991 or so.

Selling the house is always an option, but most wives aren't much impressed with that thought.
Your Blue Oval sounds like a hoot.

Here's a picture of your father's other car back when Super Stockers were really stock--as was the original intent of the class--and not quasi-Pro Stocks.
