Seen some pics of the Colt, from Back in the 70's and if memory serves, that car was not allowed to run in NHRA Competition. I seem to remember something about the car being an import, or something to that effect, but since it was a 'Dodge' why wasn't it allowed to run or did it race and i just didn't notice ??

Dodge Hemi Colt – Wild Horses

"It took an e-mail from a gentleman known as Hemifred to set this article in motion. He put us in contact with a local fellow, Stewart Pomeroy, who used to drive one of these small, overpowered vehicles, and he lead us to Dick Tower’s matchracemadness.com web site. So here it is, everything you ever wanted to know about hemi-powered Dodge Colts."

Thanks! I remember in particular the Rod Shop racing fleet. They were some sharp looking cars.

Just think, those tiny little roller skates with a hemi! Had to have been a scary ride at times, I would think.

I say you have to be crazy to start with, no fear at all. I would probably drive one.
