Sox & Auxier at Bristol, Tennessee. Looks like a Landy car behind them.

Another rare shot! Thanks Wayne. What appears to be the "Landy" car is actually Chick DeNinno's "Fever" Charger before that name (in really big, wacky letters) was lettered on the side of the car.

M68,

Chuck McJury,

Thats his first paint job from 1968.
Car was a 4-speed, but Chuck would occassionally switch over
to a Torque-Flite for SS/BA.

Chuck out of the Schenectady, New York area, but sponsored by Cicero Dodge outside of Syracuse, and Stevenson Garage (who also sponsored Ed Miller's BO29 Barracuda).

In 1969, the car was re-painted. with a black top.
In 1970, the top was re-painted white.

Was a runner.
Saw him at Dover Drag Strip a few times, and on the NED 1 circuit.
Always consistent with 10.80's.

"Hemi Power" at Paradise Drag Strip in Calhoun, Georgia. I won my first bracket race at this track in 1974, got $40. My friend Dan Sharp took this photo. This must have been a big race for the track because Hubert Platt was in attendance among other notables.

Don Grotheer's Baracuda through the windshield of Doug Potter's car hauler truck. I think I see the front fender of another car being towed by Grotheer's hauler. I see a Hurst sticker on it.

Mem,,,,,

At the beginning of 1970,
Don Grotheer put the BO29 Hemi Barracuda into Pro/Stock
(see the wide slicks).

Also, he was doing those Performance Car Clinics for Chrysler
in the mid-west and southwest.

The car on the trailer, is the 1969 1/2 Plymouth Road Runner
440-6 (6-barrel), which he ran in SS/G.

This was the first Sox & Martin SS/B Hemi Barracuda,,,,
different than the above photo, in post #1097.
'Lil Boss' lettered on the fenders, 'Barracuda' on the center grille, different decal placement.
White hood with blue stripe.
As seen in the June 1968 Super Stock Magazine (photo from March 1968)
