Mopar Drag Racing Legend Dandy Dick Landy Dodge Demon

Before rule aberrations emasculated the 426 Hemi engines, cars such as Dick's Dodge Demon A-Body entry ruled the Pro Stock ranks. Seen here in its typical early-'70's trim, this Dodge was considered to be the top of the heap in West Coast Pro Stock racing. A tube chassis, designed by the then all-powerful, Detroit-based Dodge/Plymouth drag racing engineering group and constructed by Dick's in-house chassis fabricators, cloaked a 426 Hemi and four-speed Lenco planetary race transmission. A pair of Holley 4500 Dominator carburetors and careful tuning by Dick's brother, Mike Landy, put driver Dick low into the qualified field. This photo was shot at the NHRA Winternationals, Pomona, California.
