Ralph Costa in the Ted Spehar prepared D/Dart was the 'only' D/Dart running in the low 13.00's during 1966.

A few of the other 'prepared' D/Darts were running 13.40's.

On the average, the rest were mostly running 13.70's @ 102 MPH during 1966.

-- Ralph and Ted's car was down in the 12.90's @105 at the end of the year.

-- I believe the cars in the 1966 Trams Am Series were built to FIA specs. Supposedly, 500 production Barracuda's were built to race in the series. At least that is what the documentation sent by Chrysler to the FIA states.


Paul,
A while back, I ran across a website that had all the NHRA ET and MPH records listed by year. Any idea where I can find it?
