Larry and Ken,,
Joe, the dad won the 70' Winternationals G/SA class with the 70' Duster
running a 12.67 @ 98.79 (on the brakes)...Yes the son Mark won one year earlier,,,at the 69' Winternationals in F/SA,,with a 69' 340 Cuda, running a 12.82 @ 107.01 defeating Cal Method in his J/SA 57' Chevy,,which ran a 13.55....I do believe John Hagen (factory Hemi fame) out of Minnesota had involvement with the Coletti's engines..The NHRA re-factored the 340 to 300HP in 68' (the bastards) after Jim McFarland
drove the Sox & Martin prepped 68' 340 Cuda E/SA to Stock Eliminator runner-up at the 68' Winternationals...McFarland ran a 12.92 @108.46
in losing to Stock Champ John Barkley in a 57' Chevy M/SA, who ran a
14.59....Sorry about that,,,But I wake up to a bowl of '340 Flakes' every morning..Those 340's were really dialed in out a Pomona...
Paul,,,Oh, we ran a 68' 340 Cuda in SS/I,,11.75's in 73',,Never lost in class...Lots of Dover Drag Strip stickers...

Danspony,,,
The "Riddler III" G/SA Duster, can be found in the May 1971 Super Stock & Drag Illustrated Magazine..Feature article..It set the G/SA National
Record in September 1970,,,12.40 ET..I think that may be the car that
was turned into the SS/IA car...possibly 72'/73'??
Paul,,, does that help...
