Bucky Hess's 68 s/s Barracuda

[Bill Monk]

This guy is from here in West Virginia. He got hurt when he hit the wall in 2016 but he was right back at it in 2017. I'm seen him run a few times and this car is wicked!

Yep, he has been in SS/AA for a long time. It's a far cry now from the original 68 Hemi SS cars but if I'm not mistaken, it is one of the original 68 Hemi cars. I love this class

I don't believe it is a real one. I am helping my buddy restore one back to original (Race Day), that he bought from Bucky. When he bought it from Bucky and what it looks like today. We are getting close.

Bucky is a really nice guy with a beautiful car, always a contender. He has been racing his car for many years and I found him to be friendly and willing to chat. I believe his crash was attributed too trans fluid.

Bucky and Travis are cool dudes that get the vintage thing, and fly dooin it! That Tom Myl/Arlen Vanke Cuda is beautiful...in original form. The new style is cool too, but I love old, original drag cars. That one is Bad Axxxx!!

I met Bucky about 10 years ago at a Mopar show at Mason Dixon dragway in Md. He was actually sitting in his 66 or 67 Hemi GTX in the car show area and I reconized him right away. I asked him why he was in the car show and not racing his Cuda. He said they had his sons 65 Dodge there racing it and showing his GTX. Very nice guy as we talked a bit and he even told me why he left Ray Barton and had a new guy building his engines. Ron
