Craig I'm not convinced there were 2 hemidarts campaigned out of Brookland Heavy's toy shop yet. I know the original S&K car was a stick car. This is the car the Mutt brothers raced both on the track & on NY streets . Is it possible there was a second car (& it being an auto) durring the same time period. ---------Absolutely.-------- Likely----no . I'll keep the thought on the option list tho. Until a car is accounted for & documented, I consider them all as possibilites. As an update, I'm currently waiting on Mr Bob Frey to go through his arsenaul of information in his library that he has collected over the years.

The question was (page 309/post#2083) if anyone had a picture of the Gator Raider. Hemi Moose answer is above the picture. So....If the red/white Dart in the background IS the Gator Raider, could the Slaughter Dart be it? If not the Gator Raider....where did the Slaughter car come from? Always looking for one of the "lost ones". Side note: Draglist has a note that the Dennis Oncale "Gator Raider" was a former Vanke car. Did Akron Arlen ever have a LO23 Dart???? Rick Seeman...Where do you think this car is hiding? Last edited by Charlie A; 03-03-2017 at 11:02 PM. |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Good man!
So now the question/questions could be, is this the (pre)Gator Raider as noted on Draglist? Is this the red/white car in the staging lane picture at Southland Dragway? Is this the same red/white Dart as the one I found pictures of and is that one really the Slaughter car? Is that before or after Tommy Slaughter owned then sold it to Rick Seeman? Where is it now? Time to send Rick a PM. Found an old post with Rick's member logo. Sent him a PM
