One more trying. will get his lisc upgrade tomorrow. Has 2 grade points. He knows the entry list will fill up but always a chance someone will break or pull out for another reason. Remember the red headed kid didn't get in Gainesville until Sun afternoon before the race.

His car was gutted and converted back to 68’ original. I think there was a thread on Moparts.

I think that car was the original Tom Myl car and it was procured from Bucky a little while after he bought it. It was restored to as raced condition from when Myl originally had it, using good original sheet metal. It was a quality restoration with Travis doing the paint and lettering. There is a good thread on the restoration on For A Bodies Only.

I sent this to Gary Raash at NHRA last week. You got any pull? Pull!


Gary, thanks for your help keeping the AH Shootout alive. Looks like it has been well received as today at grade one we near thirty (30) entries. Perhaps NHRA could run our cars together for Wednesday and Thursday qualifiers at the back of SS. It would be a little extra work on the announcers and lane attendants but I think you would see an increased fan turnout. Especially if you did a small press release. Just a thought, thanks again and hope to meet you at Indy in a few weeks. Stephen Hebert SS/AH 403H

Where's the like button for this? If they can pull this off, I'll make sure to get up there rapido when they call super stock so after I'm done with my run I can watch the show. What could be better?

I love the idea of letting all the Hemi cars qualify as a group.

I was wondering if all the Hemi cars could pit together since it is the 50 year anniversary of the Dart / Barracuda Hemi cars. Since there are 32 entered that would be a very cool grouping.

This idea might make it easier for calling them to the lanes together.

Just my 2 cents.

Most of the AH cars have always pitted together for the Hemi Challenge at Indy. Sounds like they will this year too.

SS/ AH 9:30 index is too strong, but most of you guys could care less at Indy as you're not there for the eliminator but for me, the more HEMI cars the better.
Good luck Spy.

These are pretty good pics from last years event. The red car was number one. The driver of the blue car was looking for titanium valves this winter as well as a few other replacement parts after that run. he even left souvenirs. How thoughtful. The red car still runs and ready for another Indy Hemi Challenge with the same engine he ran last year.

“ What’s up wit dat? “

You can see that car again on Youtube Spyphish in car "My Movie" by Jeremy. I think about 1.17 into the movie it shows. That is the first time I saw it.

Saw John at the Hemi reunion at Carlisle, said he would have dusted the car off and brought it if he would have known but said there is no engine in it right now. I will be in Indy Thursday to Saturday, should I bring my engineless original car on my trailer so I can sit in it and feel like I am heading down the quarter?

Wow, now I have another reason to wish I was rich, because I'd be in touch with either my bud Steve Wann, Barton Racing, The Teuton's, or anybody else I could think of who might have a fresh Hemi for it, and then I'd pay someone to back out of the race so he could get in, and I'd be there to watch it....this is the one time I'd love to be a spectator at a race I could partake in even if I wouldn't make the 128 car field, since at best my car might only run .66 under the DF/S index there, and I'd pay his entry and travel just to see that car run against the War Fish, Jim Pancake, Secretariat, Gary Wolkwitz, et al.....hey I can dream can't I????

A lot of folks were saying there would not ba a Hemi Challenge this year, so take what you hear with a grain of salt.

My opinion is that even if FCA was to quit sponsoring the event, it will exist in some form as long as the car owners want to race.
