Default Re: Original hemi dart information

The Gold Seeker Dart was originally from here in WI. Jim Wick told me that it was bought from Mr Norm's and brought directly to the track. He warned the owners that they couldn't race the car as delivered - knowing that the front ends were not aligned and often times there wre loose parts on them. The owners ignored him and on the very first pass launched the car and it went directly into the guardrail at Great Lakes Dragaway. Mostly superfical damage but later owners confirmed that the repairs were still there. The first two owners were some black guys from Milwaukee who street raced the car on occasion. The third owner told me that when he went to buy the car the Hurst shifter was broken off and you had to shift it with a vise grips (sitck car) to get the car on the trailer!
