Pete {Mopar 68},

Many of the guys up my way {Northern Westchester County and Putnam County} in New York hit;

* Englishtown
* Island
* Maple Grove
* Lebanon Valley

Those '4' were the primary tracks back between 1976 and 1981.

Not so much at New York National Speedway and WestHampton Dragstrip out on Long Island,
as the traffic was a nightmare on the L.I.E. and Sunrise Highway on Sundays.

I have more information on the Lieto Dart, but I don't want to go in depth here.

Doesn't look like an LO car. Rear Wheel well cut out looks wrong. Wrong hood scoop also. Fender well headers???= wedge

You might also want to try and dig up newspaper articles from
'The Gettysburg Times'.

They covered the major races at 'York US 30 Dragway'.

I've been searching for 1977 Oct, Nov. issues of National Dragster that would have coverage of that Bracket Nationals held Sept 24,25 @ York . Anyone?????

Well, back to square one. Thanks for solving that puzzle, Paul. Car sounds like a Dart I once saw run at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ circa 1980. I didn't get a chance to look at it close-up in the pits to see what was under the hood nor the 'custom' two-scoop (oddity) if it still had it. My only recollection is a behind-the-starting-line view and that it had a 4-speed and broke something in its drivetrain off the line. Maybe it was a different Dodge Dart...who knows. What we now know is that the two-scoop Lido (aka Lieto) car is not Daryl's car.

One more thing: does anyone know the whereabouts of Tim Hennessey? If so, my suggestion is he should be made aware of this (very long) thread and put his two-cents in.

Welcome back M68
Your comments & pictures are always welcome here.
I've been @ square one more times than I want to think of. All it's going to take is ONE valid lead that'll; set the chain of events(ownership trail) rolling. I just need that one lead.

I've spoke with Hennessey many times about my car & invited him to this thread. He's not interested

He also said his wife Susie has a scrapbook with all of the cars and their original owners.

Hope this helps,

Thanx for that Wayne.
do you have contact info for Dave. PM me if you could

ps I had Dave autograph the "wall of fame"(trunk of my car) @ the 08 all Hemi Reunion
