Speedway {Center Moriches, Long Island, New York}.

The host track for the '1968 Super Stock Magazine Nationals'.

That race was during the 2nd Round of 'Super Stock Eliminations'.

Result





Pete M****** was running his Hemi Dart in 'SS/BA', and was running off an 11.10 'Dial-In'
.
Ed Miller was running his Hemi Barracuda in 'SS/B', and was running off a 10.76 'Dial-In'.

Pete, working off a {.34 handicap}, caught a 'good light' and jumped out to a nice lead.

Ed Miller was 'late at the lights', and was forced to push his 'Barracuda' all-out to make up ground.

Ed just caught Pete at 'The Traps.

Ed ran a 'winning' 10.77, with only {.02 to spare} before 'breaking out'.

Pete ran a 'near upset win' with an 11.20, as the Hemi Dart had a 'slight'
fuel sputter on Top End, which cost him the Race.


That photo appeared in 'Speed and Supercar' Magazine {December 1968}.

Paul,
I have that issue and the only photo of Paul's (Daryl's) dart is in an article about setting up a Camaro 12 bolt rear end. The article is by Billy Mitchell and he used various photos and the race with Paul's dart and his Baldwin Motion 68 Camaro was one of them .It is rather small and I know that I have seen the same photo in a larger format somewhere else.
