April 1968 (Cecil County Drag-O-Way)

One the earliest tests with the 68' Hemi Barracuda.

At the time, the 68' Hemi Barracuda was 'not yet' legal for NHRA SS/B or SS/BA.

Thanks again Paul, you sure have a lot info on the Hemi cars.

Thanks Mr. Skypower,

Sox & Martin with both their 68' SS/B Hemi Barracuda cars.

And the 1968 GTX '440' classed in SS/F.

Hope we can hear from some past and current BO29 owners/crews.
Nothing says it better than "first hand" knowledge

This is the car Sam Pannuty purchased from S&M in 69.
I have a shot of the Cuda, after the sale and repaint, and it still has the #784 on the rear quarter windows.
We ran it in the NASCAR ULTRA STOCK circuit that year.

Now we're getting some where, Jackarnew do you have any idea where that car is now, or who owns it.
