Good eyes once again Terry. I believe this blue Dart was owned by a guy with the last name of Knight. Cant remember his first name.
If it is then it is Dick Oldfields "Good Guys" Dart

Chrysler had to submit a list of 50 owners names to both the Dart and Barracuda, to qualify for the cars for legal Super Stock.
No 'hanky-panky' stuff...

So, NHRA did have a list of the first 50 owners of the Hemi Dart and
Hemi Barracuda, to verify.

The NHRA must have been amazed, when 35 of these cars showed
up at the 68' Springnationals @ Englishtown.

Paul, I've been reading this blog for years and finally joined because I want to ask about the 35 Hemi Darts and Cudas that showed up at E-town for the 68 NHRA Springnationals. I can name 15 of them. I'm curious if you or anybody else reading this can name the other 20. I sat down and listed as follows: Sox & Martin, Don Grotheer, Arlen Vanke, Bill Stiles, Ed Miller, Chuck Ostrich, Nelson Stoltz, John Hagen, Harold Dutton, Dick Landy, Bill Flynn, Larry Cooper, Mary Ann Foss, Bob Ramstrom and Paul Richardson's cars.

A while back Terry Drinkwater posted about a car that his brother once owned. Terry if you are still on here can you contact me? Does anyone have contact info or know where he is from? Thanks,
