In 1961, the Ramchargers built up an engine for Frank Wiley’s new car; Dodge created the first factory package cars in that year. A 1961 Dodge Dart 413 was used by the Ramchargers at the 1961 NHRA Nationals (driven by Eckstrand and Jim Thornton).







Fred..the question was...quote "first thing you learned about drag racin"..
That was the first thing I learned and it was 1963 or 64. I was raised around stock cars and didn't have a clue about about drag racing until I was enlightened. Went to my first race in '66 to watch my brother-in-law race his new 283/275 hp Chevelle in "pure stock".
