Those are exhaust hoses taped to the tops of the doors to scoop some air into the cockpit.

Is Lem related to Charlie.

No, Lem is also from Keokuk Iowa, like Ramo, Ernie Derr, Don White.    Lem's younger brother Gordy was also a Mopar stock car racer for many years.    Gordy ran a Dodge Mirada in USAC, still with a Hemi up into 1984.

  Was that considered the last Hemi to run in USAC?

  Was there any others running a Hemi earlier that year of 84?

Pretty sure that is the last one in any pro level oval track series.  Gordy's car started out as a 74 style Charger, wrecked and rebuilt as a Magnum, then shortened up to fit the Mirada body.  I think he said he ran it close to 200 at Talladega.

I liked the Mirada.  I think that's the only one I've seen live or in photo running in any form of circle track, I know there were more but it's the only one I've seen.  Thanks Doug.

Another nice pic of Gordy Blankenship's Hemi Mirada.   He commented on it.

"This car was brand new when this picture was taken at Springfield in 1980. This was either hot laps or time trials because we stripped a stud on the left rear while checking them before the race. Centerline Wheels was a sponsor for the series and had a thicker center, We put on a yellow wheel for the race. I ran 2nd to Rusty Wallace for 82 laps until a much overheated engine blew water all over the windshield and I had to pit. The race was one of the first ever covered by a new channel known as ESPN, so my sponsor (Jesus Saves) got some much needed exposure, The race was won by Ramo Stott."

Gordy's Mirada was later cut down further into this Dart for local racing.   This pic is from 1999.    Car still has this body, but a lot more dents.

Somebody sent this one to me and I don't really know any details other than it is Miss Winston.

That is Adam Petty's mom with the Charger.
