Steve O. & WJ
Thanks for the help. I'm kind of re-visiting this lost Dart.
Here's what I've got. Hampden Dodge, 648 State Street, Springfield.
Can't locate a (Hamden Dodge). Car definitely had 'Debs' Automotive'
lettering. Can't define the name, some say Joe Patel, others think
Patrelli or Petrelli. Maybe Ralph Ridgeway would know??
Was at Orange Dragstrip, and probably Milton, VT, and most likely
Connecticut. Never saw that cat at Dover.
If he was with the 'Deb's' crew, probably made a few visits across the
north border into Canada.
An SS/BA car. Found info, of 11.20's and winning in S/S Eliminator.
Not a low E.T. , but Bill Stiles set the first SS/BA ET at 11.06 in
July 68, at Island Dragway, New Jersey. Probably with both feet on the brake-pedal!!
The Dart is probably sitting behind someones garage in northern Mass.,
surrounded by weeds and other junked cars. OH, THE HORROR!!
