Does anybody know who was driving in the other lane? Also, I saw Wendall Howes was driving a '68 Barracuda in SS/IA. Could that have been Wendall in the other Barracuda, or does anyone have pictures of the Barracuda that Wendall was driving, if this white and blue one wasn't it? I know Wendall usually is running an AH car.
Thanks in advance for somebody knowing the answer to these questions.

This car was once his 426 Hemi car until he had FJ Smith build his
current SS/AH entry.

This may be the car you are asking about.

Ed Bolton

Appears to be a 1967 Barracuda (no side marker lamps, if that means anything)

Thanks for the information Doug. Congrats to Ed! He did a heck of a job driving, not to hit Bucky!
Thanks again,
Dan

Does anybody know what, or who's '68 SS/AH Dart, David Barton is driving?
Thanks,
Dan

Your buddy's from down South!! Cuda, not a Dart. Check your PMs

Congrats to Steve Kent at Etown, 8.31 160.8. Hope I can join the club one day!!

Nobody has anything to say about Daniels 8.295 @ 159.99???

Over on Classracer, Etown live thread is an in car video of David in the King Cuda. Pretty cool!

Fast runs, glad they were not at Topeka.

Dale Also spoke with me at Charlotte about the goodie bags and prizes at Belle Rose and how much the racers appreciated the door prizes. We discussed goodie bags and a payout down to 16 cars at Indy but I was reluctant to mention it on here for fear that it wouldn't happen. But it looks like it official. Mopar will stretch it's payout $$$$ to 16 cars this year. A few racers have told me they like the winner/runner up take all but I do think this will bring a few more cars out to the race. Also the plan for the poster this year will include as many as possible of the cars that are pre entered at the time of the printing. Just a fans point of view

Here is a portion of the press release. 2014 Mopar Hemi Challenge for full release. Looks like fun! Thank you Dale Aldo and team.

This year’s edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic second-generation Hemi engine that powers these vehicles with a winner’s award of $15,000, a unique Hemi 50th anniversary Challenge trophy, and a custom Mopar Hemi 50th anniversary winner’s jacket. Every participant in the Mopar-powered Super Stock/Automatic Hemi (SS/AH) class participating in the Hemi Challenge will receive a special Hemi key chain and a limited-edition print of the 50th anniversary Hemi heritage wall display, and drivers of the top 16 cars advancing to the eliminations rounds Friday, Aug. 29, will receive a cash prize payout.

Dyno Dan,
I just read that in National Dragster where you won SS/AH class at Kansas. Congratulations! There's that retired teacher power!! That is great!
