Hemi Inc, (Post #864)
South East Chrysler-Plymouth
Miami, Florida
10.40 on the window
late-1970,,,,, SS/AA Record

Once the records got thrashed into the low-mid 10.00's,
many guys started selling these cars off,,,,,,,,,,,for good prices too,,,
$5500 to $6500.

It was either Pro/Stock or A/MP, then,,,,,,,

They moved to 1970 Hemi Cuda's for SS/D and SS/DA.
A softer record.

A suprisingly not happy Arlon Vanke,,,,
that is his #2 car, which won the 1969 AHRA Winternationals in 'Heads Up S/S'
The first non-handicap Super/Stock Event (the inception of Pro/Stock).

Arlon had to buy that car from Wickes Auto Sales in Zainesville, Ohio,,,,,,
well above suggested retail,,,$5700

Sox & Auxier at Bristol, Tennessee. Looks like a Landy car behind them.

Another rare shot! Thanks Wayne. What appears to be the "Landy" car is actually Chick DeNinno's "Fever" Charger before that name (in really big, wacky letters) was lettered on the side of the car.

M68,

Chuck McJury,

Thats his first paint job from 1968.
Car was a 4-speed, but Chuck would occassionally switch over
to a Torque-Flite for SS/BA.

Chuck out of the Schenectady, New York area, but sponsored by Cicero Dodge outside of Syracuse, and Stevenson Garage (who also sponsored Ed Miller's BO29 Barracuda).

In 1969, the car was re-painted. with a black top.
In 1970, the top was re-painted white.

Was a runner.
Saw him at Dover Drag Strip a few times, and on the NED 1 circuit.
Always consistent with 10.80's.

"Hemi Power" at Paradise Drag Strip in Calhoun, Georgia. I won my first bracket race at this track in 1974, got $40. My friend Dan Sharp took this photo. This must have been a big race for the track because Hubert Platt was in attendance among other notables.
