Notes: "All American Boy" Charlie Allen's best remembered funny car was this 1968 Dodge Dart. This was his first flip-top funny car, replacing his A/FX Dart. The new machine marked his first flip-top, one-piece unit. It was a test in part for Crower products. The car ran OK, registering high 7s. Allen built the car with a Contemporary Fiberglass body with Kenny Ellis tin. Charlie raced the car under the blue & silver Atlantic Dodge and Crenshaw Dodge banners in 1968. Allen collected a $2000 win at Irwindale at the 16-car experimental Stock Invitationals. Stats courtesy Dennis Doubleday. Info from James Ibusuki). | Charlie was driving the "Crenshaw" backed Dart at OCIR on July 20. All eight cars ran the first two rounds, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Allen made sure he got into the final by setting Low ET in the first round, with a 7.60/184.80 that beat Dale Williams in Jess Tyree's Firebird. In his second race, he ran 8.04/188.28 to beat Dee Keaton's 8.34/177.51. In the final, he met up with Ray Alley. The two had a good race going until Allen's transmission failed to shift, and he shut off to 8.83/113.20 while Alley got the win with a strong 7.88/190. In Mid-August, he was at Mission Raceway in BC, where he set the track record down to 7.60. On a backup run, he ran 7.75. He set a 7.68 Irwindale track record in October. - Ron Howard | Formerly listed this car at 7.95. We need to confirm it was this one and not the new red Dart that went the 7.68. - BP |

Notes: Allen debuted his new Dodge Dart funny car sponsored by Crenshaw Dodge at Irwindale on Jan. 28. That began a season filled with match races against other "experimental stock" racers such as Fred Goeske, Gas Ronda, John Mazmanian, Kip Brundage, and Cecil Yother. He took funny car eliminator wins at OCIR and Irwindale. He also won the funny car eliminator title at what was billed as the North American Fuel and Gas Championships at Puyallup Dragway in Washington on June 15 against a 16-car field.

Notes: "All American Boy" Charlie Allen's best remembered funny car was this 1968 Dodge Dart. This was his first flip-top funny car, replacing his A/FX Dart. The new machine marked his first flip-top, one-piece unit. It was a test in part for Crower products. Allen built the car with a Contemporary Fiberglass body with Kenny Ellis tin. In 1969, Saddleback Dodge was the new sponsor, and Charlie repainted the car the more familiar red and silver. Charlie Allen and crew member Jeff Crowther ran a best of 7.29 at 199.96 in 1969. Keith Black 426 Hemi, B&M Torqueflite 3 spd. Auto. (Photo courtesy Bob Plumer and Drag Race Memories. Stats courtesy Dennis Doubleday. Info from James Ibusuki and Bill McLauchlan). | The 199.96 was run at Irwindale VERY early in 1969, and it never matched that speed the rest of its career. If that's a typo, this Dart did run 197.11 at Indy in 1969. February 1970 Speed & Super Cars magazine says this car ran 7.20s in Connecticut. I don't recall that. - Dennis Doubleday | Charlie started the '69 season with a big win at Irwindale's New Year's Day race. A 7.79 qualified sixth in the sixteen-car field. A 7.72 beat Clare Sanders in Jim Liberman's second car at 7.90, and in round two, he singled with a 7.61/193.96 when Norm Weekly failed to fire. He ran his best ever in the semifinal, a 7.56 (up to this time) at 199.96 over Ray Alley. In the final against Don Schumacher, he ran another 7.56 over Schumacher, who lost a transmission. On January 12, he ran a match race against Jim Liberman at Irwindale. Jim won the first race with an 8.12/191 that beat the wheelstanding Dart. In the second race, Allen's 7.74/182.54 beat Jim who broke a rocker arm and shut off. In the final race, another wheelstand gave the match to Liberman, who won with an 8.23/190. It was surprising that he failed to qualify at the NHRA Winternationals. He rebounded nicely by qualifying #1 with a 7.46/191.88 at the second OCIR All-Pro race on February 9. Unfortunately, he failed to make it to the finals. He lasted until the semifinals on February 16 at Las Vegas for the Stardust Open. He broke against Pat Foster at that race. The roles were reversed to the HRM Championships on March 16, when Foster broke a driveshaft in the final, and Allen motored to a 7.59/194.38 victory. He didn't back into this win as he qualified third with a 7.71 behind the two Mickey Thompson cars. A 7.67/193.96 advanced past the final round when Ronnie Runyan fouled. He singled in the second round with a 7.69/193.54 when Marv Eldridge failed to show. In the semis, a 7.71/190.67 beat Rusty Delling's 8.05. Another big win came on March 29 at the final OCIR All-Pro race. There he ran 7.45/194.38 over a fouling Ray Alley, and a semifinal 7.62/191.88 beat Rich Siroonian's 7.68/192. In the final, he again took on an M/T car; this time, it was Danny Ongais. A blown transmission ended the Mustang's chances, and Allen had another win. He took on Bill Lawton at Bill's home track, Connecticut, for a best-of-three-match race. Charlie won three straight and lowered the track record on every run. In the first race, a 7.61/193.54 beat Lawton's 7.90/175. He soloed with a 7.53/193.12 in the second race when Lawton had fuel pump problems. And a final run of 7.45/196.50 reset both ends of the track record. He set another track record while beating Tom McEwen at a match race at Suffolk on May 11, where a 7.29 was the new record. At Maple Grove, he beat Jim Liberman in another match race, where he set a 7.60 track record. He went back to Connecticut on May 25 for a match race against Lew Arrington. In the first race, a 7.67/184.80 beat Lew's 8.19/182. In the second race, a 7.99/188 by Brutus beat Allen's 8.30/164.86. Both were loaded for bear in the final, but a 7.73/188.88 by Allen beat Lew's 8.30/187 for the match win. He competed at the Connecticut Memorial Day Championships, and a first-round 7.99/150.75 beat an out-of-shape Joe Black. Lawton got some revenge in the semifinals by taking a 7.56/194 win over Allen's 7.60/191.05. He had some problems at the NHRA Springnationals when the NHRA didn't receive his entry in time. However, luck was on his side when Doug Thorley, whose AMX had crashed three weeks before, gave Charlie his entry form. Thus, the car was qualified as an AMX in the entry blank. A 7.92/181.81 qualified eighth. As it was, he had trouble and withdrew from the competition. On June 28, he raced Bruce Larson at Budds Creek for a match race and lost two straight. On July 3, Allen was at Edgewater for an eight-car show. He set Low ET in the first round, with a 7.37 that beat Tommy Grove. In the semifinals, while doing his burnout before racing "Jungle Jim," his motor let go, and Liberman soloed into the final. The following day he was at Suffolk for another eight-car show. He fouled in the first round, against Al Graeber, running an 8.93/190 on the loss. On July 12, he faced off against Larry Reyes in the "Hawaiian" at US 131. Charlie won two straight, taking the first race with a 7.68/185.56 to Reyes' 7.78/182, and in the second race, the "Hawaiian" was shut off on the line with an oil leak, and Allen just eased it through with an 8.49 to win the match. He got a rematch against Larson at Numidia Dragway, and this time he beat Larson's "US A-1" two straight. He set a 7.57 track record in the first race over Bruce's 7.66, and in the second race, he won, but no time was recorded. He competed at the PHR Championships at Martin, Michigan, on August 2. In the first round, he blew a transmission, but his 9.45 still beat Don Biggers' 10.16. He lost to Randy Walls in round two. Allen was back in Connecticut on August 17 for a best-of-three-match race against Lawton. The two made three runs, and Allen won them all, clocking 8.47/181.80, 7.54/173.74, and 7.74/163.93. Bill's best was 7.70. A week later (August 24), he faced Ron Rivero in the "K&G" Mustang at the same track. Ron won the first race when Allen broke a radius rod, but after fixing it, he came back to win the next two races and the match. His times were 7.73/168.53 and 7.84/155.17.

Notes: On January 26, Charlie was at Irwindale in his Challenger for an eight-car show. He made it into the final by beating Dave Beebe's 7.73/186 in the first round, with a 7.67/179.78. In the semifinals, a 7.67/170.13 took out Dick Bourgeois' 7.95/193 in Don Cook's Corvette. In the final, he met Kenny Safford who was driving the "Mr. Norm" car for the first time. Safford got the win with a 7.49/196 over Allen's 7.54/191.88. He failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. At the third OCIR All-Pro race on February 22, he fouled in the first round, against low qualifier Don Prudhomme. He didn't do very well at the Bakersfield March Meet where he lost to Fred Goeske in the first round, of the eight-car show. York US 30 held an eight-car show on April 5 where all cars would make two runs and the two Low ET cars would meet in the final. While Allen didn't run quick enough to make the final, he did win his two races. Kosty Ivanof's Camaro lost fire against him in the first race and his 8.35/163.04 won. In the second race, Bruce Larson fouled away a 7.71 against him and Charlie won with an 8.31/171.10. On April 12, he was at US 13 Delmar, Delaware, where he beat Sid Foster's new Mustang three straight. It was not without some issues as in the first race, Charlie lost a transmission, but still managed to win with a 10.22/125 as Sid got completely sideways and shut off to an 11.54/168.53. Allen won the second race with an 8.01/188.66 when the Mustang lost a trans and a third run of 7.94/182.92 sewed up the match when Foster blew an engine. He beat Clare Sanders at Connecticut in a best of three match where he set a 7.34 track record. He beat Pee Wee Wallace's "Virginian" 'Cuda at Maple Grove in a best of three match on May 30. He lost the first race with a 7.92/160.14 to Wallace's 7.70/202, but he came back to win the second and third races with times of 7.44/187.36 and 7.54/173.74. Allen was running well at Saginaw, Michigan, on June 7 for the Tri-City Manufacturer's Meet.

Notes: Here's an interesting one. On November 14, Allen drove either Gas Ronda's, or was it now, Dick Poll's Mustang at Irwindale. It was rumored to be a new team. At the race, Allen got past Jr. Brogdon, who had his chute release on the line, in the first round. In the second round, he lost a blower and the race to Dave Condit's LA Hooker at 7.68/153. |

In the first round, he beat alternate Don Schumacher who broke a driveshaft with a 7.49/175.09. In the semifinals, he advanced with a 7.45/175.43 when Dave Beebe broke in the "Dodge Fever" car. Unfortunately, in the final against Gene Conway, Allen's transmission let go. |

Notes: Charlie's Charger was in the northwest for most of its existence 'cuz Charlie was in the Army at Fort Lewis. It ran constantly and won nearly every race all of 1971 except the NHRA WCS events - Jerry Ruth won all five. The Charger set the first Funny Car speed record over 220 that year, a 222.22 at Mission, B.C. Hard to forget that number. - Phil Elliott | Charlie Allen claimed both ends of the Funny Car record at 6.82/222.22. - NHRA | Ran 6.82 at Fremont 6/71 (National Record) |At the rain-delayed Fremont Northern Nationals, Allen qualified with a 7.71/142.85. But he was unable to make it back for the race's rain date. On May 1st, he was at Seattle for an eight-car show, but he broke a rear end in the first round. Shortly after that, he was at Deer Park for the NHRA Division 6 race. Eventual winner Jerry Ruth's 7.11/204 beat his 7.17/196.92. He made it into the final at the next NHRA Division 6 race held at Bremerton on May 23. Allen qualified #1 with a 7.03. Only six cars showed, and in the first round, he soloed. In the semifinals, his 7.57/207.84 beat Glen Foster. He went up against Ruth in the final, and his car broke at half-track while Ruth bagged another one with a 6.78. Charlie won the KJR Drag Festival in Seattle on June 20. He beat Jerry Ruth in the final with a 6.81/221. |

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: Alley literally tore the roof off his three-week-old Charger at Irwindale on August 25. According to the 9/01/67 National Dragster, this occurred when his throttle stuck during a qualifying pass, resulting in a wide-open run that ended a full 1/8th mile past the finish line. He turned Low ET of 8.19 of the event in the process and returned to participate in eliminations, topless. - RT | Ran 8.62 and 8.77 at OCIR Mfg. Meet 11/25/67. Ran 8.19 at Irwindale. - DC | This car took a long time to build. Alley had wanted to have the first Charger Funny Car, but problems held the car back and it actually took 18 months to get finished. The frame was designed by Ray and Bob Brown, but the final welding was done by Don Long. The wheelbase was 118" and it used an Olds rear axle with 3.90 gears. Of course, Alley’s company, Engine Masters, built the TorqueFlite transmission. The engine was an early 354 Hemi built by Dave Cole. Ed Pink line-bored the block. The crank was a standard Chrysler unit. M/T rods and Venolia 7:1 pistons were used. Chet Herbert supplied the cam. The heads were ported and polished by Lockerman with stock 2" Chrysler intake valves. The exhausts were 2 1/8" Donovans. Tom Jobe of the Surfers built the blower running at 28% overdrive. Hilborn injection sat up top. The car was run on 70% nitro and Ray was willing to tip the can if needed. The car weighed 2,200 lbs. and within weeks of being done he ran early times of 8.46/179.98. Ray was at Fontana on Jan 7 for an eight-car show. It was a hard show to get into as 42 cars attempted to qualify for the eight positions. Ray beat the "Whinemaker" in the first round, with an 8.11/180.72. In the semifinal, he ran an easy 9.08/146.57 when Marv Eldridge fouled. In the final, he was up against "Dyno" Don Nicholson. Ray ran an 8.52/178.21 for the runner-up money as Don's 8.08/172 took the win. |

Notes: Ray was at the AHRA Winternationals Funny Car meet at Lions on January 28. It was a 32 car affair, and he qualified #10 with an 8.41/171.10. He advanced past the first round when the "Green Hornet" lost fire on the line. In the second round, a wheelstand slowed Ray to a 9.67, and he lost to Ed Schartman's 8.11. Ray then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. NHRA still did not have a Funny Car class, so he had to run in Super Eliminator. But his first-round 8.34/138.46 lost to Richard Galli's A/FD. He was at Lions again on February 24 when over 50 cars showed for the 16-car field at the Funny Car Spectacular. Unfortunately, a best of 8.48 failed to crack the 8.41 bump. Ray did better the next day (February 25) at Carlsbad for the South Coast Funny Car Championships. He beat Randy Walls in the first round, with an 8.32/172.74, but a second-round 8.35/180.36 lost to Jim Liberman's 7.84/183. On March 3, Irwindale held a 16-car show with 30 cars trying to qualify. Ray qualified #9 with an 8.32/174.41, putting him against the #1 qualifier in his first-round race. Alley improved to an 8.25 but still lost to Charlie Allen's 8.16. Ray ran at OCIR for a sixteen-car show on April 13, but he lost to Norm Cowdrey in the first round. On May 4, OCIR held its 1968 Funny Car team Championships. Ray again lost in the first round; this time, Gas Ronda's 8.09/178 beat him. He lost early at the Funny Car 500 at OCIR on June 1. Although he lost early at Irwindale on June 22, Ray set Low ET in qualifying at 7.96. A first-round 8.30/187.50 (Top Speed) lost to Randy Walls' holeshot 8.35/171. Ray ran 7.860/185.94 at Bristol 9/20/68 while winning the All American Funny Car Championships. |

Notes: Ray started the season by qualifying #12 with an 8.06 at Irwindale's (40 cars showed) New Year's day race. He advanced past the first-round when Dick Harrell fouled, and an ailing 9.23/111.52 beat Clyde Morgan in the second round. Ray was unable to run in the semifinal and was replaced with the break rule in effect by Morgan again. At the AHRA Winternationals, he made it to the second round before getting beat by Danny Ongais in the M/T Mustang. He did much better on February 2 for the NHRA Winternationals, where forty cars again showed for sixteen spots. He qualified #4 with an 8.14/183.67 on a poor Pomona surface; only one car ran a seven in qualifying. A first-round 8.41 beat Art Ward (8.73), and he soloed in round two after Larry Reyes's crash in the Hawaiian kept him from returning for the second round. An 8.27/185.95 just nipped Rich Siroonian's 8.27/184.42 in John Mazmanian's Cuda in the semifinal. In the final, his 8.11/187 lost to Clare Sanders' 7.88/187 in Jim Liberman's second car. To show how good this early-hemi powered car was, on February 9, 35 cars showed up at OCIR for an eight-car show for the second All-Pro race, and Alley's 7.72/189.46 qualified #6. Pat Foster, Clare Sanders, Tom Grove, Randy Walls, Fred Goeske, and Steve Bovan were among the non-qualifiers. Ray failed to make the finals, but it was a good showing. Another runner-up finish came on February 22 at an eight-car show at Lions where Pat Foster in the M/T Mustang lost fire on the line against him in the first round, and in the semi's, he beat Randy Walls. A 7.70 by Siroonian in the final ended his bid for the title. At Bakersfield on March 2, he lost in the first round, to Tom McEwen's 7.78/196.93 to his 8.18/187.50. He then went to Riverside for the HRM Championships on March 16, where a 7.96 qualified #7. In the first round, he lost to Marv Eldridge in Clyde Morgan's Javelin. On March 22, Lions held an eight-car show, and 22 cars showed. It took an 8.19 or better to get in, and Alley failed to make the cut. At the final OCIR All-Pro on March 29, he qualified but fouled away a 7.70/190.64 in the first round, against Charlie Allen's 7.45/194. On April 26, Irwindale held a sixteen-car show where he advanced past the first round when AMX-1 broke on the line. In the second round, he got out of shape against Ongais (7.47/191) and shut off. OCIR held its second annual Manufacturer's Funny Car Open on May 3, and Alley qualified second on the Mopar team with a 7.85/191.08. In his first race, an 8.04/193.96 beat Larry Fullerton's 8.54/181, and the second win came with an 8.64/187.10 beating Clyde Morgan, but he fouled away a 7.70/192.30 in his third race against Randy Walls (8.11/182). In didn't do very well in the thin air at Thunder Road Dragway in Denver, Colorado, on May 25, losing to John Dekker's Assassination in three straight races. At the NHRA Springnationals, he qualified #4 with a 7.81/189.07. A first-round 7.98/180.00 beat Ed Schartman's ailing Cougar, and a second-round 7.91/180.80 beat Don Gay's 8.58. Ray fouled in the semifinal against Ongais (7.57). Alley was runner-up to Fritz Callier at Beeline when he got crossed up in the final. He ran on July 12 at Irwindale's Race with a Reason but lost to Dave Beebe's 7.54/195 to Alley's 7.93/184.82 in the first round. The following week (July 19), he qualified #10 at the PDA Championships with an 8.22, but he fouled away an 8.16 against Ongais' 7.58 in the first round. Irwindale held another sixteen-car show on August 16, and Alley made a good account of himself with a first-round 7.91/187.50 over Steve Bovan's 7.97/174 in the Mister T Camaro. He lost in the second round. The Drag News Nationals was held at Lions on August 30. Alley qualified, but an 8.40/135.55 lost to Ed Lenarth's 7.74/186 in the first round. He got back in on the break rule in the second round but ended up breaking on the line, advancing Jim Adolph. He ran a first-round 7.58 for Low ET on September 1 at an eight-car show at Irwindale but hurt some parts doing it and had to withdraw from making the semifinal. The following week (September 6), he set Top Speed at 189.87 at an eight-car show at OCIR. He qualified fifth with an 8.03, but not only did he foul in his first race, but he also lost a blower. Late in the year, on November 23, he ran at Irwindale's big 32-car show, and an 8.07/172.16 got past Jim Maybeck's 8.63 in the first round. A blown rear end put him out in the second round. He followed that up with a big win on November 29 over an eight-car field at Lions. A first-round 7.49/193.54 advanced when Gene Conway's Corvette caught fire on the line. Larry Reyes broke in the Hawaiian advancing Alley in the semifinal with an easy 9.57. In the final, Siroonian broke, giving Ray a free 7.57/199.55 victory. At OCIR for an eight-car show on December 6, 20 cars showed, and it took a 7.51 to qualify. Ray's 7.53/198.23 was only good for the first alternate. He did qualify on December 14 for an eight-car show at Irwindale when a 7.64 qualified #4. A first-round 7.54/189.86 beat Fred Goeske's 7.70/174, but in the semis, Reyes' 7.27/199 stopped his 7.74/194.98. It was a good season for Alley. |

Notes: Stock stroke motor. | Best NHRA ET was 7.263/196.07. Also 194.38 at Seattle 8/22/70. | Ray was at Lions for an eight-car show on June 27. His 7.49/194.38 beat Andy Clary in the first round, but his 7.67 in the semifinal lost to Dave Beebe's 7.49. On July 3, he competed at the OCIR Nitro Championships. It was a sixteen-car field, and in the opening round of eliminations, his 7.53/191.08 beat John Lombardo's 7.86/185. Marv Eldridge fouled against him in round two, so Alley advanced with a 7.51/189.07. His next opponent, Mert Littlefield, shut down early and Ray's 7.66/177.86 went to the final. He faced Arnie Behling, who was behind the wheel of John Mazmanian's 'Cuda. The final wasn't very close as Behling set Low ET with a 7.25 at 200 to easily cover Alley's 7.95/191.89. The following day, he was at Irwindale for the Fourth of July Championships. This was only an eight-car show, but Alley qualified. An opening round 8.53/135.13 advanced when Don Hampton crossed the centerline, but the Duster broke in its semifinal match against eventual winner Behling. Ray got another runner-up finish at Lions on July 11 for the AHRA All-American race. In the first round, his quick-leaving 7.83/179.28 beat Steve Bovan's 7.76/188. He actually lost to Behling's 8.02/133 in the semifinals when he ran an off-pace 8.81/187.50, but Arnie's Cuda had blown a rear end, so Alley was reinstated for the final. There he ran against Roger Wolford, who was driving the "Mako Shark" Corvette. The two had a good race, but Roger's 7.61/176 got to the stripe first before Alley's 7.65/193.54. Yet another runner-up finish came at OCIR on July 25 for the PDA Championships. In the first round, Ed Lenarth lost fire, giving Alley a 7.71/185.56 solo. In the second round, Danny Ongais lost fire in the M/T Mustang. Ray ran 7.51/185.56 to advance. Once again, he needed a little "help" with the "break rule" as he lost his semifinal race to Gene Conway. Alley's 7.79/186.33 lost to Conway's 7.47/192.71. But in the other semifinal race, both Lombardo and Dave Condit were able to get their cars down the track due to breakage, so both were disqualified. Alley now had to rerun Conway in the final. This time Ray had troubles and shut off to 11.52/99.77 while Conway got the victory with a 7.65/181. He ventured to Kent, Washington, for the Seafair Nationals on July 31. He ran times of 7.85, 7.50, and 7.48/193.12 to reach the final. It was an all-Duster final as he faced Ed McCulloch. The two had a great race that saw Ed's 7.05/210 win over Ray's quicker 6.99/199.48. McCulloch also stopped him at the third NHRA Division Seven race held at Bakersfield on August 9. This time it came in the semifinals. A week later (August 15), he was at OCIR for its anniversary race. It was a sixteen-car field, and Alley's opening round 7.53/192.71 beat Condit's 7.70/196 in the "L. A. Hooker." But in round two, he fouled away a 7.49/192.71 against Eldridge. |

Notes: Raced the Barracuda through mid year 1970 before converting to the Duster. Photo from 1969. | Ray Alley started the '70 season at Irwindale for their new year's day race. He qualified seventh with a 7.65, but got crossed-up in road one and lost to Johnny Wright. He qualified #1 with a 7.40 at the second OCIR All-Pro race on January 18, but broke in the first round. At Beeline, 52 cars attempted to qualify for the AHRA Winternationals. Alley was one of them who failed to make the show. At the third OCIR All-Pro on February 22, he failed to qualify. On March 14, OCIR held an eight-car Funny Car show. Alley was attempting to qualify, but he lost a couple of rods and was unable to run. At the final All-Pro race on March 28, Alley's 7.89/193.54 got him into the second round where he had to shut off on the line with an oil leak. On April 18 at OCIR, Ray's 7.48/198.23 beat Mike Snively's quicker 7.44/200.00 in round one, but lost to Gene Conway's 7.42/175 in the semis with a 7.74/191.08. At OCIR's Big Four Championships on May 2, he ran a 7.48/193.54 best before fouling in round three of the 32 car field. NHRA held its Division 7 points race at Irwindale on May 23 and Ray Alley made it all the way to the final before losing to Mike Snively. Back at OCIR on May 30 for the Funny Car 500, he ran a first-round 7.38/196.50, an easy 8.51/178 when Don Hampton fouled, and an out of shape, losing 7.90/191.89 in the semis. All these meets and times were done with the 'Cuda as I'm pretty sure he had the Duster at the Springnationals on June 14. - Ron Howard |

Notes: Also had a plain enamel red paint job this year. |Ray Alley was racing for 25 years when the '71 season started. He was a very helpful person. In '70 his good friend Marv Eldridge was critically injured. Alley stepped up and ran Eldridge's Fiberglass Trends shop. He didn't have to be asked as he stepped in to help. Ask any racer of the time and I’m sure they would have a good story to recount about Ray. His '71 ride was a switch for him. He had always run Mopar bodied Funny Car's, but his new car was a Mustang sitting on a 118" wheelbase John Buttera chassis. It used a Halibrand rear with 5.41 gears and a Lenco two-speed transmission. A stock-stroke 426 Hemi used Howards rods and Arias pistons was used. The cam was also by Howards. A John Hovan built blower sat on a Cragar manifold. Up on top sat Enderle injection. The article in the November. '71 SS/FC magazine claimed that Ray had set track records at Irwindale and Seattle. It also went on to say that he had topped 212 with the car. Ray set Low ET at OCIR's March of Dimes event in June with a 6.88. He made it into the final of the eight-car show by winning his first-round race with a 6.91/205.71 to beat Bob Pickett's quicker 6.89/215. He ran his Low ET in the semifinals with his 6.88 at 208.81 beating Sush Matsubara's 7.08/214. In the final, he fell off to a 7.18/205.47 that finished runner-up to Dave Beebe's 6.90/216 in the "Mr. Ed" car. |
