                Unknown Hemi Dart is says on the picture, and Sandy’s “Outlaw” was a Chevelle, right?

                Still don’t see any photographic evidence (not that I don’t believe the story) of Centolanza’s ’68 Hemi Barracuda, anybody?

                    Ok Went to The Master Files And Zoomed in …How ‘Bout Jack Arnew -Baltimore ,Md.
                    Found after some searching:
                    “Almost 40 years ago, racers throughout the Northeast made the trek, with race cars in tow to a little Amoco service station in Dundalk, Maryland (a Baltimore suburb). Why the pilgrimage? It was simple: To get the car on Jack Arnew’s alignment rack. Arnew was (and likely still is), the king of drag race wheel alignments for stock bodied cars”

                            DINO,

                            Bet you can find a needle in a haystack 😀 Or a brain-cell in Nancy Pelosi’s head 😆

                            Will you put Bill Stiles Hemi Barracuda under my Christmas Tree this year 😀
                            The Stiles SS/BA at Suffolk, Virginia, 1969 runs 10.49 @ 135.95. “THATS A FLYING”

                            Still trying to research the Centalanzo Mystery. Bob (70HVYSS) says that they held the record
                            at 9.90 in 76′ or so. I’m pretty sure that’s what the Index was set at. The SS/BA index at that time was 10.17, so you would think the SS/A was at least 2/10’s lower. When did they stop running the “Breakable” SS/E Hemi Convertible Cuda. Have to follow-up with Bill Rodik on the
                            York, Pa. date for the 68′ SS/A car.

                            The Jack Arnew car. WOW!! Nice zoom in for the Baltimore, MD. home base. Thats a
                            dozen soft-shell crabs for you DINO. Please pass the cocktail sauce 😆 😆
                            OK, Here goes. I think this is correct ➡
                            Car ran 10.70 @ 134 mph at Capitol Raceway, Maryland 1969. Was partnered with a
                            Sam Pannuty at that time. Car was called “POOR BOY”, according to photo data.
                            4-speed transmission, SS/B.
                            Wonder what year the T. O’Shea photo is from.

                                DINO,

                                The Jack Arnew car was the original Sox & Martin SS/B car. Won the NHRA
                                69′ SpringNationals (6/69), 69′ Indy Nationals (9/69) and 69′ World Finals (10/69)
                                Jack bought the car with Sam Panjutty at the end of the 69′ season.
                                The car must have been at Dover in 1970. Look closely, and the paint job resembles
                                the Sox & Martin car. Also, the Keystones (A Sox & Martin trademark).
                                In 1970, the S/S Magazine Nationals were held on 5/10, the AHRA SpringNats were
                                held on 5/24, and the NHRA SpringNats were held on 6/14. Didn’t Dover always have a
                                good event for the end of May, a possible $/$ meet. Something good must have been on the Dover menu to bring them up from Baltimore. I’m sure it wasn’t the Blue-Plate Special at Adam’s Diner 😳
                                Wonder what Jack and Sam paid for that Record Holder 😮 😮

                                BOB (HVY70SS). Right on for the Centalanzo’s. Time frame 74′ -77′. Car, all black. No side lettering, only decals along the lower side panels. Lou Centalanzo lettered on lower section of door windows. NHRA #1609 SS/A. Centerlines. There maybe a Dover Sticker on the
                                “B” Pillar behind the driver side (back-seat area) window. Looks red. 73′ Class winners were
                                green. 74′ were what? I forgot. (Didn’t race that year, went golfing. No just parking attendant
                                at Putnam Country Club for the weekends. Too much $ on the weekend to pass up).
                                1975 Dover. No Class run-offs, just bracket stuff. No fun for 4-speeds. Though Dover closed in May 76′, it really died in late-summer 75′.
                                PC 😥

                                    ” Big Bob liked things that went fast, not hard to imagine from a man who once professionally drag raced Chrysler hemi-powered drag racers. In 1969, racing his 1968-bodied, Chrysler-engined ‘Kandy Kuda,’ Gaudreau established a Pro Stock record time of 10.095 seconds at a speed of 135.5 mph in a quarter-mile event.”

                                            Paul, I have to correct the motion that Sam and I had purchased the Sox&Martin car. Sam bought the car at Cicle County Daragway during a Super Stock meet. I purchased the car l.ater after driving for Sam the last part of that year. We were not parteners as I only drove and worked on it for him. But I have to say Sam treated me like a brother, gave me a super car to race. I felt like I had hit the lottery. I will always be greatful to him for the chance to race with a group of fine racers.
