Chuck, are you still in touch with the original owner of your Chevelle?

[P.J.]

The original owner of my 68 Camaro ss black on black Barry
raced at the Milan drag strip all the time back in the 60s.
If you go to Talbot Racing (windsor)web site under racing history you will see Barry Maskery the owner of my 68 Camro with his white 67 Camaro at the Milan drag strip off the line. Gives me goose bumps everytime I see that pic.also Grumpys camaro and others.

I am looking for anyone who might have photos or video from the mid 70's. My brother raced at Milan Dragway, his name was John Dennis. Would have been like between '72 and '77. He ran what I guess you would call street class. He ran a '69 big block Camaro that was primed many colors. I have one pic with an et of 11.06 on the window. If you have pics, vid or just knew him please send me an email. [email protected]. I am trying to find anything I can for his Daughter who never knew him. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you very much.

I have a friend, Knorbert Knorr who raced yearly at milan from 72 0n to current racing, he runs a 68 dealer delivered Hemi Dart, I believe they built 55 as they also did the same with 68 Barracudas, they came black with the front clip flat black due to dipped fenders and a glass hood with the large center split scoop. Rear wheel openings were also opened up to accept slicks, no back seat, lexan side windows with no mechanisms, the window went up and down with a seat belt you would pull down and snap at the bottom of the door. Knorberts car has approx 11000 miles on it, all at the track and an occasional clandestine weekend street race. Coming from the actual dealer I think it allowed him to run stock automatic class. They went from the factory to final assembly at (depending who you talk to) Demming Engineering or Hurst Performance. They were referred to as the "Elephant Dart", the only cars that I am aware of that came from the dealer with no title, Bill Of Sale only, no warranty, and had decals affixed that stated "this car not intended for street use, racing purposes only" At any rate, I will give him a call as I am sure his camera happy wife will have a stack of photos for every season at Milan. Last I knew it was not for sale, but things change so who knows?
