Notes: Bobby won the AHRA Southern Nationals at Memphis on May 31, running a 7.74/191.31 in the final. On June 28, at Miami-Hollywood, he met Paula Murphy for a best two out of three match race. In the first race, he set a 7.65 track record at 194.38 over Paula, who fouled on an 8.17/189 pass. Wood won all three races with second and third runs of 7.78/191.88 and 7.73/190.66. On July 6, he was runner-up to Arnie Behling when they both ran 7.72 in the final of US 30's Grand Prix of Drag Racing. Bobby's speed was 204. The following day, they ran again at US 30, and this time Wood won with a 7.58/207 (Top Speed) after earlier setting Low ET at 7.49. On July 11, he faced a tough match race against Leonard Hughes at Memphis. The first race went to Wood's 7.59/191 when Hughes got out of shape. He won the second race as well with a 7.61/191.92, beating Hughes' 7.65/202. In the third race, Leonard's 7.71/195 beat Wood's 7.78, but his two wins had already won Bobby the match. On August 3 at Shelby Raceway, he set a new NHRA record at 7.58 while beating Ed Schartman three straight. His times were 7.58/194, 7.54/191, and 7.58/190. Ed's best was a 7.97/181. Still, on the match race trail, he met Sid Foster on August 9 at Palmetto and won three straight with a 7.56/198, winning the first race when Foster fouled on a 7.72/194 pass. Foster's Torino broke and couldn't make the final two races, so Wood ran a 7.54/180 while breaking a blower drive and a track record 7.39 at 201. On September 7, he went back to Shelby Raceway for the Memphis Funny Car 500. He ran a first-round 7.62 when Frank Oglesby's Cougar broke. A 7.50 beat Gary Dyer in the Mr. Norm Charger in the second round. In the final, his 7.45 beat Roger Lindamood's 7.50. He qualified eighth at the NHRA Nationals at Indy with a 7.45/199.89. In the first round, Kelly Chadwick's 7.38/196 beat his 7.55/199.11. At the 900 foot track at Southeastern Dragstrip, they held an eight-car show on September 28. Bobby ran a first-round 6.20 over Scottie Sharp. In the semifinal, a 6.53 beat Paul Aray's Cuda. But a final round 6.15 by Curtis Wasson gave Wood the runner-up spot. Atlanta held its big $20,000 meet on October 12, and Bobby won it all when a final round 7.79/207.38 beat a fouling Danny Ongais in Mickey Thompson's Mustang. On October 19, he was at Courtland for a best of three match against Schartman's Cougar driven by Arnie Behling. Wood won all three races with 7.62, 7.64, and 7.66 times. He ran a match race at Dallas on October 26 against Don Garlits' dragster. There was no handicap as the cars ran heads-up. Although Wood got out first on every run, he still lost all three races. As the season ended, he took another win at the Turkey Trot Nationals at Gainesville on November 30. He set Low ET in the final when his 7.30/193.76 beat Joe Petruccelli. - Ron Howard | Formerly listed 7.155/215 in this car, which is highly suspect for this year. Removing those times until further confirmation comes in. | Kendall GT-1 "Rebel." Held NHRA record with this car. - Danny White | Confirmed 7.45 at Memphis.

Notes: Everyone was talking about the great ETs at Lebanon (Mineo had run in the 6.20s with the Coke Circuit that year - unheard of numbers for him). - David Hapgood | Mineo qualified eighth with a 6.44 at the AHRA Winternationals and won his first-round race over John Lombardo with a 6.52/197.36. Billy Meyer's 6.72/195 beat his second round 6.83/188.28. Gordon attempted to qualify at NHRA Pomona but did not make the show (times not available). That was his only NHRA national event this year. | We need to confirm the year of the photo. I am pretty sure I saw the car with the 1972 nose as late as 1975. - BP

Notes: Dan Geare, Fred Totten, and Dean LaPole ran probably the loudest funny car in the sport during the '70-71 season. Their "rat" engine used sixteen plugs as well as their own fuel injection. Unfortunately, that got them no event victories. They had a more conventional car built for '72. The chassis was a 118" Mike Lieby that had the engine placed farther out front than most. Geare built the 497 engine by starting with a 454 and adding a quarter-inch stroker from Crankshaft Co. Howards rods and cam were used along with Arias 6.5:1 pistons. Air Research built the GMC 6/71, and it was driven 36% over. Four-port Hilborn injection sat up top. George Cerny painted the J&E Camaro body. The cost was $10,000. Early runs netted a best of 6.83/209.80. Dean was at Capitol Raceway on June 10 for the Mr. Chevrolet race. Unfortunately, the Camaro broke in the first round, against Mike Burkhart. The team also ran 6.76 at NED. They were mentioned in the movie Funny Car Summer as being the 7th qualifier at the final OCIR WCS points meet with a 6.84.

Notes: This car debuted at the Epping WWCS in August 1980. Its maiden pass was during Saturday night qualifying on a racing surface that had been wet for an hour while the rain was still falling. Classic Roy Harris! Photo from Indy 9/80, where Roy qualified #9 with a 6.067/238.72. He faced low qualifier Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max in the first round." Luck was on his side, though, as Beadle smoked the tires in their race, and Harris advanced into the second round with a 6.28/236.22. Tim Grose smoked the tires in his second-round race, and Roy ran 6.31/233 for the win. His luck ran out in the semifinals when he lost to eventual winner Ed McCulloch. He was at Rockingham for the IHRA US Open on September 14. Roy qualified #6 in the eight-car field, but his 6.40 lost to Dick Rosberg's 6.19 in the "Fighting Irish" Firebird in the first round. He failed to qualify at the NHRA Fallnationals. In October, he was at Fremont for the Winston Record Challenge race. Unfortunately, he lost to Don Prudhomme in the semifinal, where his 6.35/214.28 fell to the "Snake's" 6.08/220. Harris ended his season at OCIR for the NHRA World Finals, where he qualified #7. He beat Tom Ridings in round one, and in the second round, his 6.21 beat Rob Williams' 6.29. He got out of shape in the semifinals and crossed the centerline while racing Ron Colson in the "Hawaiian." Roy's Indy 6.06 was his best NHRA national event ET of the year, and an earlier 240.64 from Pomona was his best speed in the Arrow).

Notes: Johnny perfected doing a burnout & dry hop on alky and then staging and running on nitro. | I was a huge draw with this setup. It helped me save money, but mostly helped promoters book me as the little guy taking on the big guys. It led to a lot of bookings. Plan A name came from Johnny and Jim West saying they would race a fuel altered, funny car, and top fuel car - Plan A, B, and C. - Johnny West, Draglist LIVE, 2/3/20

Notes: Hawley drove at the NHRA Gators, then Wayne Minick took over. That was the team's only NHRA national event in 1985. Photo from Gainesville 1985, with Hawley driving. Frank's 5.78 qualified #9, and he faced low qualifier Kenny Bernstein in round one. It wasn't much of a race as the "Chi-Town Hustler" blew a transmission and slowed to 12.73/59.91 while Bernstein advanced with a 6.25/226.

Notes: Rogers was at Firebird Raceway on August 13 for the sixth annual Night Fire 500. His 7.19/187 beat a tire-smoking Ed McCulloch in the opening round of eliminations. He got a "bye-run" in the second round. In the final, he faced Mike Miller, and the "Green Elephant" transmission broke. Mike ran an easy 7.48 for the victory. The following weekend, the team was at Portland International for the NHRA Division Six final. Unfortunately, an off-pace 6.70/218.44 in the first round lost to eventual winner Raymond Beadle's 6.43/211 in the "Blue Max." Shortly after that, Rogers was at Spokane for the AHRA World Finals. His 6.88/215.30 in the first round lost to Tom Hoover's 6.51/210. Richard qualified Jim Green's Vega #12 at Indy at 6.216/225.56. In round one, he beat Eddie Pauling, 6.311/226.70 to 6.91/169. Richard bested a fouling Al Segrini with a 9.24 coaster in round two. He took out Gary Burgin in the semis with a 6.548/216.86 to Burgins's troubled 8.18. Richard was up against world-beating Don Prudhomme in the final. The team got a solid run at 6.585/205.47, but Prudhomme's 6.24/236 was out of reach. Richard qualified #11 at NHRA Seattle at 6.680/216.86. He fell off to a 10-second shutoff in round one that sent Gary Cochran's 6.89 into the next round. Those were the team's only two NHRA national event appearances this year. Richard also ran 6.70 at Portland.

Notes: Blown fuel. This car was built late in 1966, probably did not hit the strip until 1967. Alley ran this same chassis through 1970 with Cudas replacing the Charger, and a Duster replacing the Cuda bodies.

Notes: Considered the first seven-second run in a funny car. We need to confirm this was a blown car. Replace aspiration and class if injected or carbs. This car debuted on April 2 at Detroit Dragway for a best of three match against Ed Schartman and his SOHC-powered Comet. Jim won the first race with his 9.02/159.57 beating Ed's much quicker 8.61/164. In the second race, Schartman repeated his times to win over the Dart's 9.28/152. In the third race, Jim's 9.17/158.92 lost to Eddie's 7.93/166. A week later (April 9), the "Ramchargers" were at Aquasco for a best of five against Billy Lawton's Mustang. Unfortunately, while running a losing 8.94 in the second race, Thornton also lost his engine and the team was done for the day. Jim was at the Cecil Factory Showdown on May 10. He beat Arnie Beswick who crashed in the first round, before the Dart failed to fire against "Dyno Don" Nicholson in the second round. The new car got its first win at the NASCAR race at Capitol on May 13. Jim had run as well as 8.43/164.83 on his way to the finals where he would get to run Schartman. But the race never came off as Eddie's Comet failed to fire so Thornton soloed to the win with an 8.46/167.28. Another win came at the AHRA Grandnationals at Detroit on May 21. There he set Low ET at 8.47 and a final round 8.69/159.57 won when Doug Cook blew an engine in the "Stone, Woods and Cook" Mustang. In June, Thornton faced Nicholson in a best of three match at Detroit. This was not Thornton's day as he lost two straight. In the first race, Don's 8.35/148.51 just plain outran Jim's 8.74/158.73 and in the second race, Thornton tried to cut the lite a little to close and fouled away an 8.25/166 while Nicholson took the match with an 8.20/165.

Notes: Jim drove at two NHRA events in 1979. Did Jake Crimmins drive at IHRA Milan? The car reportedly went 238.09 there. Jim was at Englishtown in the spring for the NHRA Division One race. In the first round, his 6.65/210.77 defeated Bob Seifert. A 6.50/164.53 beat George Johnson in the semifinals. He lost to Jake Crimmins in the final. Qualified #14 at NHRA Columbus at 6.300/216.34 and defeated Trip Shumake in round one, 6.282/216.34 to 6.322/236.84. Raymond Beadle and Jim were both off the pace in round two, but Beadle was less so and won a 6.61 to 6.93 contest. Adolph Improved to a #5 qualifying 6.194/231.95 at NHRA Englishtown. He won another first-round contest with another 6.28. A 6.280/231.36 took out Bob Pickett's 11-second shut-off this time. Ron Colson's 6.27/230 took out Adolph's (blown transmission) own 11-second shut-off in round two. He was back at Englishtown for the Crazy Eddie Night of Thrills race. This race had all ten cars competing, running two rounds with the two Low ET cars advancing to the final. Jim didn't reach the final as he got out of shape in his first race and shut off against Jake Crimmins, and his 6.36/226.13 lost to Roy Harris' 6.29/230 in his second. This was the last NHRA event for the team. Jim showed up at the World Finals in Pat Johnson's Playboy-sponsored Corvette. | R/U at the March Meet to Menzies/Jackson. - Joe Mooore

He set Low ET at 6.31 and went on to win, running 6.35/231.95 (Top Speed) to beat Garth Widdison's 6.59/210 in the final. The best NHRA national event times were 6.328/230.76 at the Mile Highs. The team did not follow the Western tour in 1982. | Won NHRA Division 4 race at Green Valley, TX, over Dale Pulde in the War Eagle, 6.36/222.22 to 6.51/155. National Dragster indicated it was a brand-new car and that he almost lost it on an early qualifying pass but gathered it up and returned to win the event. | I have 5.92/248 in '82.

Notes: After crashing the team's Trans Am at the Gators, the team brought out this Dodge Omni. It was the first nitro Omni body to hit the track. (The Omni/Charger didn't really become the "go-to" body until 1981). Len attempted to qualify at the PHR Championships in August, but his best of 6.50 was good for the fifth alternate. At Indy for the NHRA US Nationals, he qualified on the "bump" for the sixteen-car field with a 6.104/235.66. A first-round 6.206/230.76 beat John Force's quicker 6.28/241, but in round two, he lost to Tom Ridings in Joe Pisano's car, 6.15/240 to 6.307/199.11. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the year. We need to confirm the 6.07.

Notes: The Condits went out on their own after Dave drove for Plueger & Gyger in late 1974 and drove the LA Hooker in 1975 and 1976. Best Appearing Car at 1978 NHRA Winternationals. Dave qualified #13 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.398/203.61. An opening round 6.450/216.86 lost to Tom McEwen's 6.32/220. At the Bakersfield March Meet, Condit's 6.22/213.77 in the opening round defeated Gary Densham's 6.55/217. He got to solo in round two when John Force was unable to show, and he advanced with a 6.32/196.07. Unfortunately, the transmission locked up in the semifinal, and he could not race Tripp Shumake. Dave was at OCIR on May 13 for the NHRA Division Seven race. A 6.29 qualified #6 in the eight-car field. He and his opponent, John Force, smoked the tires in the first round, but Condit's 6.53/213.27 got the win light ahead of Force's 6.65/215. But an off-pace 6.70/181.08 in the semifinals lost to Henry Harrison's 6.26/223. The team failed to qualify at Indy with a 6.343/230.17 on 9/3/78 but could not qualify at Ontario for the NHRA World Finals.

Notes: Tom McEwen got one of the biggest sponsorship deals for the '70 season. He and Don Prudhomme went to Mattel Toys and linked their FCs with the "Hot Wheels" corporation. It brought the "Mongoose" and the "Snake's" names into households everywhere and drew many up-and-coming fans. McEwen debuted this Duster at Beeline on January 25 for the AHRA Winternationals. In the first round, both he and Gordon Mineo ran 8.40's with the "Goose" getting the win. In the second round, his 7.89 lost to eventual winner Tommy Grove. On February 14, he was at an eight-car show at Lions. He beat Bob Pickett's quicker 7.35 in the first round, with a 7.41, but he got out of shape in the semifinals and shut off against Don Prudhomme. The following week (February 22), he was at OCIR for the third All-Pro event. He broke a transmission and was unable to run. He was back at Lions on March 8 for the second AHRA Grand American race. He failed to reach the finals. The Duster was in its first final on March 28 at the last OCIR All-Pro race. In the first round, he beat Roger Wolford in Jack Chrisman's Mustang, with a 7.80/190.27. In round two, a 7.65/194.38 beat Warren Gunter's 8.87. He had a close one in the semifinals when his 7.48/196.07 beat Mike Snively's 7.51/191 in Jim Annin's Challenger. In the final, he lost to Dave Beebe. At Rockingham for the AHRA Pro-Am Championships, Tom fouled in the first round against Ron Umbach. He lost in the first round, at the next AHRA race as well, the Grand American at Frontier Raceway. He ran 7.92/189.07 in the first round, which lost to Mart Higginbotham's 7.70/187. McEwen was at Bristol on June 7 for the AHRA Springnationals. A first-round 8.01 beat Shirl Greer, but in round two, his 7.79/171.79 lost to Dick Harrell's 7.64/176. A week later (June 14), he was at Dallas for the NHRA Springnationals, where he qualified #8. He had problems in the first round and shut off on the line giving future superstar Kenny Bernstein a solo in Ray Alley's Cougar. Tom participated in a Top Fuel vs. Funny Car race at LaPlace on June 21. Just before this race, Tom had installed a two-speed transmission in the Duster. The Funny Cars were given a half-second handicap. LaPlace was having trouble with its timing equipment, so the mph clocks were out for this race. Tom lost his first race when his 7.57 fell to Preston Davis' 7.07. In his second race, he had Low ET for the funnies with a 7.41 that beat Richard Tharp's 7.12. In his third race, he fouled away a 7.61 while Ronnie Martin got the win with a 7.03. McEwen was at Capitol for the King of Kings Funny Car Invitational on July 11. In the first round, he was running Clare Sanders in the "Super Camaro," but at half-track, the Duster broke. McEwen kept up a busy match race program during the season, mostly against Don Prudhomme for his "Hot Wheels" sponsor. On July 26, the two met at Union Grove, where Prudhomme won three straight with a best of 6.94/214 compared to Tom's best of 7.25/206.80. At the Rockford Manufacturer's Meet, McEwen beat Randy Walls in the first round, 7.56/197.36. He had a close race with Grove's SOHC-powered Mustang in round two. Tom won with a 7.51 over Tommy's 7.52. In round three, he soloed with a 7.47/202.24 when Sid Foster's "Super Ford" broke. His ETs didn't qualify for the final. Tom had some bad luck at Epping on August 2 for the AHRA Grand American held there. He won his first-round race over Al Hanna, but his motor blew, and he had a flash fire that put the car out of competition for the rest of the day. He raced Prudhomme in a best of three at Capitol on August 8 but lost two straight. New York National hosted the AHRA Nationals at the end of August, and Tom made it into the second round before losing to Prudhomme's 7.11/209 with a 7.40/180.36. At Indy for the US Nationals, McEwen made the show with a career-best (for FC) of 7.06 that qualified #8, but in the first round, he lost to Bruce Larson's 7.17 with a 7.212. On September 27, he was runner-up to Leroy Goldstein at US 30's Funny Car Spectacular. OCIR held its East vs. West Funny Car Championships on October 10. McEwen was on the East's team. In his first of three races, he lost to Jim Liberman's 7.22/202 with a 7.56/198.07. In his second race, his 7.44/196.07 lost to Jake Johnston's 6.94/208 in the "Blue Max." He won his last race on a solo when Ken Safford blew a motor on his burnout in the "Mr. Norm" car. Tom ran a 7.09/206.89 single. His times were not good enough to get into the final. Fremont held its own version of the East/West Meet on October 24. Once again, Tom's ETs failed to get him into the finals. As the year was coming to a close, Carlsbad held its Match Race of Champions event. Four cars competed and made three runs against one another. Tom lost to Prudhomme in his first race, and in his second race, he lost a blower and the race to Goldstein in the "Ramchargers" Challenger. He came back to win his third race with a 7.31/200.88 over Pat Minick's 7.43/192 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." At the AHRA World Finals at Beeline on November 15, McEwen kept his bad luck streak alive in AHRA races. In the first round, his engine let go, and he slowed to a 7.69/184.08 loss to Ed McCulloch's 7.23/207. The Duster was getting a little long in the tooth by the time the NHRA Supernationals came around. Tom failed to qualify for the field that had a 7.27 bump spot. Formerly listed 6.80/220.00, but we don't believe this car ever ran a "six" or hit 210. Let us know otherwise. | Best NHRA times were 7.06/204.08.

Notes: In mid-January, Gene won the Lions Grand Premiere when he beat Bobby Rowe (Hawaiian) 6.54/222.77 to a losing 6.55/226.13. 1972 was also the first full year that plastic model company Revell was involved with drag racing. Gene's Logghe chassis was used as the template by Revell for all their newly designed funny car model kits. This chassis design, with slight variations, has been in constant production by Revell for almost forty years. Also ran 6.782/184.42 at Tulsa PRA race. Used a Crowerglide. Gene's '72 season started at Fremont for their New Year's race where he qualified second with a 6.82 and ran a first-round 6.87 over Kelly Brown (Mr. Ed). In the semis a broken trans let eventual winner Bill Leavitt (6.76) advance to the final. At the AHRA Winternats a 6.77 qualified him #5, but he failed to reach the finals. As mentioned above, he won the Lions Grand Premiere on January 28 with his Low ET charge of 6.54. He set Low ET and Top Speed at 6.57/223.88 at OCIR while winning the second All-Pro event over Ray Alley. On March 5 at Bakersfield for the March Meet he qualified #1 with a 7.03/209.30, but Kelly Brown's 7.00/201 beat him in the first round. Snow qualified second at Green Valley Raceway for the AHRA Nationals and beat Tom Hoover in the first round, before setting Low ET at 6.66 in the semis over a crossed up Leroy Goldstein. In the final Bill Leavitt's 6.70/210 beat his 6.82/180.36 and he had to settle for runner-up. In May at OCIR for the Hang Ten meet he ran a first-round 6.79/215.82 over Tom Ferraro and a second round 6.68/222.22 (Top Speed) over Sush Matsubara. In the semis he got out of shape and lost to Pat Foster's 6.64/207. On May 26 at Union Grove for the Olympics of drag racing event, Shirley Muldowney's 6.76/207 beat Gene in the semis. The next day (27), he runner-upped to a strong running Al Marshall (6.66/218) still at the Drag Racing Olympics. In June at St. Louis for the Dick Harrell Benefit race-12 cars showed and all ran the first-round with the two Low ETs meeting for the title. The Super Duster (6.66) and Snow (6.80) had the Low ETs and met in the final with Gene winning. At the NHRA Springnats on June 11, Jake Johnston's 6.94 beat his boss in the first round. Also in June at Bristol for the IHRA Springnats, Gene's 7.25 qualified #5. He advanced past the first-round when Dale Pulde lost a blower belt. A second round 7.29 beat Johnny Valadez's Chevy-powered car, but a tire smoking 7.58 failed to get past Jim Paoli's 6.97/212 in the semi's. On June 18 Rockford held their East/West meet and 24 cars showed for 12 spots. Snow qualified third with a 6.98, but lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.82/220 in the final with a quicker 6.74/227.27 (Top Speed). The NHRA Summernats on July 16 was next stop for Gene and a 6.60/219.51 qualified him fourth. A first-round 6.77 beat Al Marshall (6.85), and Leonard Hughes failed to show in the second round advancing Snow into the semis where an off pace 7.06/161 lost to Ed McCulloch's 6.67/213. Qualified at 6.782/184.42 at Tulsa PRA in August. He made it into the semifinals again at the IHRA Summernationals at Dragway 42 on August 20 where he ran a first-round 6.70/216.84 over Ron Colson's 6.76/222, a second round 6.68/218.97 advanced when Leavitt broke a rear and a 6.83/189.47 lost to Clare Sanders thundering 6.55/228.42. A big win came over Charlie Therwhanger at Amarillo for the Division 4 final. A 6.78/184.42 qualified #19 at Tulsa for AHRA's National Challenge race, but he lost to Mart Higginbotham in the first frame. On to Dallas for the IHRA Nationals where he again qualified with a 6.78 good for eleventh. A first-round 6.72 beat a sideways Richard Tharp in the first round, and he failed to fire for round two. He was reinstated when Shirl Greer broke a trans. In the semis against Don Schumacher, he again failed to fire. On September 18 at the IHRA US Open he was shut down on the line with an oil leak in the first round. An interesting win came his way at the AHRA Grand Am Finals where his 7.36/131 lost to Tommy Grove's 6.68/213, but it was claimed that Grove crossed the centerline. Gene was said to have given the prize money to Tommy, but kept the race win for his sponsors. On October 22 at Amarillo for the NHRA World Finals, Preston Davis' 6.61/212 beat Gene's 6.70/212.79 in the first round.

Notes: Liberman was known for putting a bunch of mix-matched engine parts together and making it run. He was running in a race and hurt something and not have the parts. Another racer might have this or that, and Liberman would throw it together and go win the race! Other times it would just blow up, but he was always a positive individual. The glass was always half full. His house was always open for other racers to stay, and they often did. His '72 season started with a win in February at the Miami-Hollywood Winter Championships. Gary Henderson, driving the "Super Duster," broke against him in the final. He competed at the IHRA Winternationals at Lakeland, where he qualified #2 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.72/213.27. He beat Wayne Mahaffey in the first round, with a 6.91/213.27, but in round two, he got crossed up and shut down against Dale Pulde, driving Mickey Thompson's Pinto. Early in April, Jim was at Englishtown for a four-car show. He won all three of his races, running a 6.85/199.11 over Sammy Miller, a 6.78/215.31 over a motor blowing Jimmy King, and a 6.69/216 over Butch Maas driving the "Motown Shaker." An Atco match race time of 6.59/237.46 from July 12, 1972, would have been the fastest of the year and is pretty dubious. That date also would have been the Thursday before Englishtown, which is pretty suspect (the NHRA event ran from July 13 to July 16, 1972). The next fastest car in 1972 was Pat Foster in the Barry Setzer machine, who went 6.29/235.64 at the Supernationals in the fall and is recognized as the actual speed winner this year. (Info taken from an article on ATCO's 7th Annual Funny Car Championships, January 1973 issue of Rodder and Super Stock magazine. - Tom). Jim qualified #10 at the NHRA Summernationals with the Camaro at 6.745/214.79 but lost to Ed McCulloch in the first round, 6.89/205 to 7.92/110. At some point after Englishtown, he switched to a new Palamides-built Vega. He qualified #14 (#9 for the East) at NHRA Amarillo (no time), and Jim won the first round over Twig Ziegler, 7.01/200.89 to 8.23/109. But Jim fell off to the eights in round two and lost to Jake Johnston, 6.61/220 to 8.03/195.22. He ran a confirmed 6.74/227 at Epping Grand American 1972 and won the Epping Funny Car Nats in late 1972 at 6.54/218.97. We need to validate whether Jim ran the post-Summernationals events in the Camaro or the new Vega. Jim ran the Vega at NHRA Ontario.
