I recall this as the Feb. 8, 1970 Pro Stock race at OCIR the week following the Winternationals at Pomona. 16 car qualified field. April 70 HRM article by John Dianna page 32. Short text only covers late rounds. I have seen other articles on the event but can't find them at the moment. Schartman and Bob (or Jerry?) Jenkins driving Rettig brothers Dart were both entered.

• Feb. 8 70 US ProStock Championship race at OCIR Sox qualifies low at 9.86 (70 Cuda), with 69 Barracuda (ex match racer) qualified 2nd at 9.95 (Butch Leal drove 69 car) Sox red lights in second round against Booth. Leal runs 9.97/138.88 to beat Bob Lambeck in Dick Landy’s 2nd team car with a 10.46/132.54. Nicholson beats Leal 10.00 to a late 9.97 and Bill Jenkins wins race at 9.87 beating a red lighting Nicholson with at 9.93.[DN 19700215] [HRM4/70]
• Drag News story Feb. 15, 1970 issue states Bob (or Jerry?) Jenkins wins first round 10.44/130.62 against red lighting Dick Landy. A broken torque converter caused him to not make 2nd round.

GREAT picture. Not many shots of the Wayne County Dart and do not recall (2008 when Daryl started this thread) ever seeing the other one either.

Jim,

Don't forget to look in the the Mexican Cuda's and other south of the border a-bodys. Most of them had heater deletes. If I run across any down here in Texas I will grab one for you.

I parted out a Mexican Cuda a while back that had the full setup in it. That is where mine came from. Also got the little delete covers that go on the dash controls out of it, along with the metric rally gauge panel. Mine aren't for sale though.

From what I understood the "Cajun Flyer" formerly owned by the Teutons and Joe Faherty was a former Bob Reed dart too , but wasnt a factory car ,, thought he had at least one factory dart ( possibly owned at one time by Frank Spittle) which means Bob had a few darts ,can anyone confirm this?
