Needle in the haystack time. Anyone from the San Antonio area remember a Stage III Lightweight that may have been campaigned out of Jack Rieger Chrysler Plymouth? The car was black with red interior.

Dodge or Plymouth. Tranny? VIN? There is a database/registry with Darrell Davis in FL.

Sounds like a cool car!
If any help, there's a few old Jack Rieger employee names below from the era you can try seeking out...if not too late?

An aluminum nosed Plymouth. Darrell has been a tremendous help so far. Unfortunately I've exhausted his resources. The car's been verified via serial numbers as being the car shipped to Reiger Plymouth.

I've also exhausted backing the car up through ownership history. The car has just over 3,000 miles on the odometer, all via the 1/4 mile. The last known dragstrip it campaigned at was Eastex Dragway in eastern Texas sometime in the late 70's or early 80's.

The Wild One campaigned by Lee Brown is a sister car to the one I'm researching.

Thanks Pete! I know where you found that contact info <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

I've tried them all and confirmed most are no longer with us. :-(

I'm hoping someone would have remembered this car going down the 1/4 mile. Based on the K frame and the hammered in shock towers it may have ran a Hemi for a while.

A few discovered notes over the weekend. The car campaigned as, &quot;Aggravation&quot; by someone named Roland. Active at Green Valley, Eastex and in League City to name a few. Was running a tunnel ram when last on the track in the early to mid 80's.
