        Hi everybody, I am the third member-owner of the Art Dury-Gramatan Dodge ’63 SS/A Maxwedge car. I was involved from 1963 through 1965. Got married in ’66 but got back into racing with Charlie Castaldo and his ’68 SS/AA Dart and the ’70 SS/DA Challenger.
        I will try to answer any questions regarding any of these cars or the people involved.
        This is a TERRIFIC website and I’m proud to be here.

            Welcome aboard; glad to have you here! Pics?
            We raced against both the Art Dury car and Charlie’s ’68 Dart. I don’t think we ever beat Charlie’s Dart, but I also think we only got to run him once.

            So are you coming to the Reunion? I’ve got a picture of my Dad talking to you or your brother in that ’61 or ’62 tow car you used. It’s already been around on some boards a bit.
            My brother was pretty quiet back then, didn’t talk to a lot of folks. I’m sure he’d love the oportunity to catch up now.

                Well…

                That GramDog and I grew up together and went to high school together too. In fact it was him who introduced me to this drag strip stuff in 1961. True.

                We already had a pretty good discussion of the Gramatan Dodges in here so I might as well refer you to that with this link: http://www.doverdragstrip.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=169

                The GramDog may have somethings to add to it…

                        Maso is short for Tommaso which is Italian for Thomas… get it…? I always use it for an Internet name. Nobody calls me that.

                            That’s Jay Broderick sitting in the Blue Polara wagon talking with Storm King’s dad.

                                Right, larry; and I’ve been corrected (I think by you!) before but it just doesn’t seem to be sinkinig in. And where were you this past Saturday?
                                Glad you’re dropping in here at least. I hope you are well.
