Re: Original hemi dart information
R/T,
No way am I an expert on this stuff.
Mark J. is 'the Historian' on this stuff.
I can only fill in 'bit's-n-pieces'.
What I think, is that the first cars went out in March.
By printed facts, I think Dick Landy ran his Dart at the
Hot Rod Magazine Drags, last week of March 1968.
There are photo's of his car classed in SS/BA, but I don't think
he could run it legal-wise. NHRA didn't approve them yet. 50 were not
out there, or legitamized yet. He may have run A/MP or just Match-raced it at that event.
Several of the SS/B-SS/BA cars were running in S/S competition in
late-May 68'. The Springnationals were of course, in June.
