D Dart information.

The D-Dart was built in April 1966, in preparation to put cars out there
before the 1966 Sringnationals in June.
The 275 HP rating was advertised by Chrysler, not set by NHRA.
The lb/hp rating factor of the car was 10.71.
The factor ratio of D/Stock in 1966 was, I think, 10.40 to 11.20
The 273/235 HP cars had a rating factor of 12.63.
They fell into the F/Stock class, 12.00 to 12.80.
I might be slightly off on the NHRA factors. Back then NHRA factors
were by .70 or .80, instead of today's.50 factor.
