The Barton Dodge is a 1965 model with the single quad carb hemi engine. 1965 Chrysler cars did not come with a max wedge 426, 1964 was the last year for the max wedge.

Are the Wescott Hemi cars both sticks? I see Jr went 8.51 at 155 and his dad ran over 157 mph.

That's the worst part about these new class designations. We can't tell a stick from an auto as easily. On the other hand we now can in Comp.

Thanks, Bruce and Tony. I don't recall seeing a "single 4bbl" Hemi in Stock, before, so I'm going to assume that this is the "NASCAR" version of the 426 Hemi that reportedly,the Teutons were attempting to race before NHRA added horsepower to it (ostensibly, before anyone got one operational.)

Looks like it may be a viable "candidate" in spite of NHRA's knee-jerk sharp pencil...

Carroll Shelby worked with mopars years ago--Im sure any combo is approved, from nascar to any Shelby--Try his great chili mix--yum

Hi,
Barton's car is the Nascar hemi--paper car just like the Shelby Fords.
Charlie Westcott, Sr. beat Jr. in the Hemi shootout with a stick car. Heard that Jr.'s car is up for sale and he is going to run a stick also.

Congrats to all the winners in Class today. Just wish they had run class a little more timely. It was almost dark before the finals were run.

Met Greg Fulk's wife Marissa today. They brought over some really good wine. Made in Ohio, too. And a note for Jeff Teuton--we drank it out of proper wine glasses! They have a really cute doberman puppy named Annie that was attending her 1st race, I think. Looks like she is going to fit in nicely.

Went around this afternoon and took some pics of some stockers, but it will be after I get home before I try to figure out how to post them. Tom Sheehan came over this afternoon and tried to explain how, but hopefully I will get it figured out. Thanks, Tom.

We run 1st round in the morning at 8 so I think it is beddy bye for now.
More tomorrow.
Patsy
