original 1968 LO23 Hemi Dart

Me drag racing my original factory lightweight LO23 Hurst Hemi Dart at Thunder Valley Dragways in Marion, South Dakota on Aug 11, 2019. This is the "Dick Smith Dart", also previously owned and raced by Jim Keyes. I ran a 9.17 at 146+ mph on this pass. Only have about 15 passes on the car so far. Still getting the engine/trans/suspension dialed in and broken in. I expect consistent 8.80-8.90's at 150 mph when we have everything figured out.

When I say "original", I am referring to the fact that this car is indeed one of approximately 80 original 1968 Hurst Hemi Darts, it is NOT a clone! It is obviously not "all original" as in "bone stock", since I pulled the original Super Stock 426 hemi for safekeeping, and am running an all-aluminum 604 cubic inch hemi engine. I believe this run was a 9.24 at 146-147 mph. Still breaking in the engine and dialing in the chassis. This car should run 8.80s at 150+ mph when it is fully sorted.
