Notes: Ran 5.023 at the Winston Invitational in Rockingham. The best standard National Event time was 5.068 at Englishtown. Hofmann was the second Funny Car driver to exceed 300 mph. He recorded a run of 301.10 mph 2/19/94 in Phoenix to become the 13th member - and only one of two Funny Car drivers - of the Slick 50 300-mph Club. - NHRA | Al started the season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #5 with a 5.12/289.85 and worked his way to the final by beating Gary Clapshaw in round one, with a 5.35/277.17 and a 5.14/288.09 in round two beat Gary Bolger. In the semifinals, he ran 5.11/278.72 over Dean Skuza's 5.25/283. This put him in the final against Cruz Pedregon. The two had a close race as both ran 5.12 (Al at 285.08), but Cruz won. The next race was the NHRA Quality Care Nationals in Arizona. Hofmann became the second Funny Car driver to reach 300 mph when he ran 5.09/301.10 to qualify #2. Unfortunately, he slowed to an off-pace 5.59/206.99 in the first round, and lost to Del Worsham's 5.22/289.

Notes: AKA 240 Gordie. At the NHRA Winternationals, Bonin set Top Speed in qualifying with a 6.18/245.23 that placed him in thirteenth on the grid. It wouldn't be fair not to mention that the front end was up on that pass, and he drove it through to qualify. Few drivers would have been able to save that run. In the first round, he beat Don Prudhomme with a 6.27/242.58 but failed to get the car stopped and drove the car into the catch net. In round two, he lost to Kosty Ivanof. At the Gatornationals, he qualified #15, and in the first round, he crossed the centerline and lost to Dale Pulde. He won the NHRA Division race at Beeline. In the final, he beat Bob Pickett's 6.42/227 with a 6.22 (Low ET) at 237.46. He also ran 6.18/231 at the US Nationals but failed to qualify on a 6.10 bump!

Notes: Etchells will always be remembered as the first to run a four-second time in an FC. His '96 season was good, as he was always competitive. Chuck qualified #12 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.46/287.63. He improved to 5.33/252.17 in the opening round, but it wasn't enough, as he lost to John Force's 5.12/296. At Firebird Raceway, for the NHRA Arizona Nationals, his 5.05/299.60 qualified second to Force's 5.04/301. A 5.12/295.27 in the first round beat Jim Epler, while he got to run a 5.36/290.69 solo in round two when Chuck Beal failed to show. An off-pace 5.41/289.85 still beat Whit Bazemore in the semi-finals, but fellow finalist force ran 5.14 in his semi-final win. The final saw Chuck slow to a 5.75/186.48 in a runner-up finish to John's 5.19/295. He always seemed to run well at Gainesville, and '96 was no different. A 5.08/306.22 (Top Speed) qualified #3, and he was able to work his way into the final for the second straight race. He started by running a 5.18/294.50 over Gary Densham's 5.21/290. In round two, his 5.15/295.46 stopped Paul Smith's 5.17/285, and in the semi-final, he took out Del Worsham's 5.32/229 with a 5.07/305.18. Once again, the final would come down to Force vs. Etchells, and the results were the same as Force blasted out a track record 4.9301 for the win over Etchells' 5.23/302.01. NHRA's next race was the Supernationals held at Houston at the end of March. Chuck qualified #6 at 5.14/299.70. But he didn't hang around long in eliminations as Mark Oswald's 5.13/287 in round one beat his 5.20/244.96. He then went to Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. This was just an eight-car field. It's good that no points were awarded at this race as Etchells failed to qualify. He came off the truck and ran 5.37, but it all went downhill as tire shake did him in. His next three passes were 5.62, 9.13, and 7.68. Rick Howard photo from 1996 US Nats, Indy. Qualified 9th at 5.10/303.23. He defeated Paul Smith in round one with an improved 304.25 before falling to John Force in the quarterfinals. He qualified for Big Bud Shootout but dropped round one to Tony Pedregon.

Notes: Surprisingly, this car was run for two seasons, and in its first season ('69), the car's performance was only fair. But in '70, it ran really well, setting 29 track records across eastern strips and becoming the NHRA Division 1 points champion. The car ran a best of 7.09/215.71. Wallace ran an eight-car NHRA Circuit race at Blaney on April 4. He lost to Phil Castronovo in the first round but got back in on the break rule. In the semis, he ran an 8.14/175.74 over Tom Sneden and then went on to win by defeating Mel Perry in the final with an 8.02/197.44. He met Charlie Allen for a match race at Maple Grove on May 30. In the first race, he beat Allen's 7.92/160 with a 7.70 at a track speed record of 202.70. In the second race, Wallace's 7.67/199.54 lost to Allen's 7.44/187.36, and in the final race, Allen took the match with a 7.54/173 that beat Pee Wee's off pace 8.53/191.48. On July 25, he was back at Maple Grove for its Coca-Cola FC Meet. A 7.88/185 in the opening round, lost to Bruce Larson's 7.70/184. | Pee Wee ran 7.37/206.89 at Atco NJ Championships in 1970 from a Quaker State Oil ad that touted Pee Wee's amazing 1970 season. Pee Wee also ran 7.45 at Suffolk. - Mike Gagnon

Notes: The car had that wild "shovel" nose on it, also ran it in '86. This car is the one Billy used 3 spark plugs per cylinder on until outlawed by NHRA. Photo from Milan, MI, 1985. At the Super Bowl of Drag Racing at Firebird Raceway in January, Meyer had his supercharger explode on a 5.84/218.44 qualifier. The brand-new Mustang body was blown to pieces, and he received slight burns to his forehead. He was done for the day. Billy started the '85 NHRA season by qualifying #15 at Pomona for the Winternationals with final attempt, 6.03/239.36. Billy lost to Dale Pulde in the first round. He destroyed another Mustang body at Atlanta on March 10. He was there for an eight-car show where he qualified #8 with a 6.42/223.88. In the first round, he beat a tire-smoking Pulde with a 5.82/240.00, but in the lights, the blower exploded and took the Mustang body with it. At Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals, Billy lasted until round two where Ed McCulloch's 5.91/254 beat his 5.97/243. A best of 5.93/229.00 failed to qualify at the Gatornationals, but he rebounded with a runner-up finish at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. In the semifinal, he stopped Kenny Bernstein's 5.95/243 with a 5.88/250. In the final, he faced Pulde, and they both ran 5.80 (Billy at Top Speed of the meet, 261.62), but Dale got the win. His next stop was at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals where he qualified #8 with a 5.93/208.04. A 5.99/250.00 beat Tom Hoover's 6.12/224. In round two, he got out of shape and shut off in a loss to John Lombardo's 5.91/246 in the "Blue Max.” Meyer lost early at the next NHRA race as well, the Cajun Nationals at Baton Rouge. He qualified #3 with a 5.84/247.38, but in the first round, he crossed the centerline while racing Ron Correnti. Things weren't much better at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals where he lost to Don Prudhomme in round two. Billy made another final round appearance at the NHRA Springnationals in June.

Unfortunately, he lost to Mark Oswald in the first round. The next NHRA event was the Slick 50 Nationals at Houston. He slipped to #12 in qualifying with a 5.23/297.02. A slightly better 5.21/283.46 beat Hartman in round one, and a 5.12/300.40 (Top Speed) beat Gary Densham's 5.38/244 in round two. Despite running a strong 5.15/300.30 in the semi-final, he lost to car owner John Force's 5.02/273. Shortly after that, Tony was at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. This was only an eight-car field, and his 5.14/284.90 qualified #4. In the first round, his 5.26/285.53 fell to Del Worsham's 5.21/281.

Notes: Ran 5.698 at NHRA Maple Grove 9/85. | Ed ran 5.79/250 to qualify #5 at Pomona for the Winternationals. A first-round 5.94 beat Paul Smith and in round two, a 5.73/252 beat John Lombardo's 5.76/253 in the "Blue Max." He fouled against Dale Pulde in the semifinals. He did better at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. A second round 5.91/254 beat Billy Meyer and in the semifinals, a shut off-25.41/31 advanced when Pulde crossed the centerline and was disqualified. In the final he faced Mark Oswald in the "Candies and Hughes" car and won with a 5.93/253.52. McCulloch qualified #2 at Gainesville for the Gatornationals with a 5.70/250.83. A first-round 5.75/250.69 beat Oswald, but while running Pulde in the second round, he lost a blower and the race. The same thing happened at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro Am Championships. There Ed qualified #1 with a 5.73 (Low ET) at 254, but against Scott Kalitta in the first round, he lost another blower. The next stop on the NHRA trail was Atlanta for the Southern Nationals on April 21. Once again Ed qualified well with his 5.79/254.38 taking the #2 spot. Oswald got crossed up in the first round, against him and McCulloch's 5.82/255.68 advanced. In round two, a 5.87 beat John Collins and in the semifinals, Lombardo lost a rod just off the line, advancing Ed into the final. In the final he met Kenny Bernstein and despite running a good 5.81/247.25 he lost to Bernstein's better 5.69/252.

Notes: This was an expensive year for Billy. He qualified #2 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.04/243.24. Billy then beat John Collins, Denny Savage, and a fouling John Force in the semifinals with a 6.35. In the final, he faced Raymond Beadle, and Billy was not the favorite. Beadle had beaten Don Prudhomme in the semifinals with a track record 5.93 at 245.23. But in that race, the body's roof first collapsed and then blew off. The "Blue Max" crew didn't have a spare body with them, so Texas neighbor Kenny Bernstein offered them the use of his spare body. So, before the final, they grafted the roof off of Bernstein's car onto theirs. It looked OK, but Meyer took the victory in the final with a 6.52/205.94 over Beadle's 6.66/236. The win probably cost Meyer more money than he made, as he used up four engines in the event. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #9 with a 6.05/237.46. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Prudhomme. Billy lost to Don's 5.97/245. A week later (March 22), he was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. Things didn't go so well; on Friday, he had a major fire that burnt up the Citation body during qualifying. The race was rain-delayed one week to March 28, and on a trial run, he had his supercharger explode and sent up 35 feet. fireball. The body and interior tin were cracked and broken, but Meyer was OK, and he was still qualified for the show. In the first round, he smoked the tires and shut off to an 8.89/100 loss to Beadle's 6.29/234. The NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta had an eight-car field, and Billy's 6.16 qualified #7. He slowed to 7.08 in the first round, in a loss to Bernstein's 6.08. More problems arose at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Billy could not get the Citation down the track. It shook the tires and got out of shape on its qualifying passes, and the best ET was 10.33. Luckily for Meyer, only eight cars showed for the eight available spots and his time held up. His 6.32 beat John Pott's 6.47 in the "Powers Steel" car in round one. A semifinal 6.26/213.77 beat Bernstein's 6.28/226, and Billy found himself in the final against Beadle. Once again, Billy was not the favorite as the "Max" had run IHRA's first 5-second (5.99) time in qualifying, and he backed it up with a 6.00 in the first round. In the final, Meyer smoked the tires to a 7.46 while Beadle picked up the victory with a 6.23. His next stop was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. After using up two more engines in qualifying, his 6.19 qualified #6. But then his luck began to turn. In the first round, Roy Harris smoked the tires against him, and Billy advanced with a 6.28. In the semifinals, his quick-leaving 6.48 beat Paul Smith's quicker 6.45. This set up another Meyer vs. Beadle final. This time Billy turned the tables, and his 6.21/228.42 got the win over Beadle's 6.26/236. The Funny Car drivers boycotted the NHRA Cajun Nationals, so Meyer's next stop was at Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals. He picked up the win by stopping Bernstein in the final with a 6.17/216. At Columbus, for the NHRA Springnationals, Billy's 6.14/233.76 qualified #6, but a first-round 6.47/238.09 lost to Fuzz Miller's 6.40/222. On July 4, he was at Bandimere for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. His 6.29/226.70 qualified #4 in the eight-car field. A first-round 6.28/231.36 beat Miller's 6.34/229, but a semifinal 6.49/219.51 lost to Beadle's 6.21/229. He was runner-up to Beadle at the IHRA Northern Nationals on July 12, and the following week (July 19), he was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. He again used two engines in qualifying, finally making the show with a 6.06/238.72 for the #8 spot. Unfortunately, he smoked the tires in the first round against Miller and shut off to an 8.59/100.22. His next stop was in Atlanta for the NHRA Eastern Regional race. It was an eight-car field, and Billy qualified #4 with a 6.29/217.39. He improved to a 6.13/219.51 on a solo in the first round when Rick Deschner's Monza broke, and a semifinal 6.07 gave him Low ET and a win over Harris' 6.27. In the final, he faced Tom Anderson driving Jim Wemett's Arrow. Meyer had problems and shut down to 6.66/163.93 in a runner-up finish to Anderson's 6.29/229. Meyer ran his first-ever "5" at Bristol on August 2. His 5.99/235 gave him the pole for the IHRA Summernationals and the time held for Low ET as well. An opening round 6.13/234.98 beat a tire-smoking Dale Pulde in the "War Eagle.” Unfortunately, he smoked the tires in the semifinals and lost to Bernstein's 6.30. The following week he was in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. It was another eight-car field, and Billy qualified #1 with a track record 5.896 at 240.64. But in the first round, he overpowered the track, and his smoky 6.57/203.16 lost to eventual winner Prudhomme at 6.24/236. He then went to Brainerd for the Quaker State Championships. It featured a six-car show with all cars making two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Carl Swanson's 6.25/233 beat Meyer's 6.49/210.77 in his first race, but in the second race, Billy also ran 6.25 at 225 to earn a spot in the final. So once again, he faced Swanson, and the results were the same. Carl won with a 6.32/229 over Meyer's close 6.35/221.67. Indy was the next stop for Meyer for the NHRA US Nationals, and he was not happy when he failed to qualify. He had a chance to be the IHRA FC champion as he and Beadle were fighting it out for that title, but Meyer chose to stay in Texas and not compete at the IHRA U.S. Open Championships held at Bristol. He did go to Fremont for the NHRA Golden Gate Nationals, where his 6.09/231.36 qualified #10.But an off-pace 6.31/187.50 in the first round, lost to Tom Riding's 6.02/234.The season ended badly at OCIR for the NHRA World Finals.During qualifying, he had a valve cover leak, and the oil hit the headers, and the resulting fire burned the body off the car. His time on the pass was 6.26/177.51. The "bump" for the show was 6.20. He was back at OCIR in the first week of November for its Manufacturer's Meet. He reached the final by setting Low ET and Top Speed in his second race at 5.98/246.57. He went up against Springnationals winner Craig Epperly in the final, and Meyer had his parachute fall out, and Craig got the victory. He still finished ninth in NHRA's FC points. Billy’s best NHRA speed was 243.24 at the Winternationals. We previously listed 250.00. Did that occur at an IHRA event, or was that a mistake?

Notes: Ruth started the year at Fremont on January 2 for the New Year's race. A 6.87 qualified #4. In the first round, a 6.90 beat Joe Winter's wheelstanding Mustang. In the semifinal, he ran a 6.91 only to lose to Twig Zeigler's 6.94. He ran at the AHRA Winternationals at Beeline, but lost to Richard Tharp's 6.57 Low ET blast in the second round. On February 13, he ran at OCIR for the third All-Pro event. A 6.69 qualified #1 and an even better 6.67 beat Gary Burgin's 7.06 in the first round. In the semifinal, Pat Foster in the Barry Setzer Vega stepped up to a 6.76 to beat Jerry's 6.86. He won the Las Vegas National Open in March, running Low ET in the final with a 6.97/205.94 beating Burgin's 7.11/207. He lost early at the Bakersfield March Meet when he fouled against Jim Dunn in the first round. In April, he won a race at Firebird Raceway and the Seattle season opener over Kenny Martin. Near the end of the month Ruth faced off against Leroy Chadderton driving the "Hawaiian" for a best of three match race at Deer Park. Jerry won all three of their races. Early in May, he competed at the OCIR Big Four Championships. He got a solo in the first round, and in round two his 6.85/211.26 beat Eddie Pauling's quicker 6.82/205 in the "Whinemaker", but he broke a rear axle and was unable to run in the third round (32 car field). Ruth was driving both his dragster and his Funny Car at Seattle's Northwest National Open and there he won TF, but his Funny Car didn't quite make it to the final. Ruth had beaten Kenny Achs in the opening round with a 6.85/215.30, but in the semifinals, both he and Kenny Goodell ran 6.77 (Ruth at 215.30 again), but Kenny got the win light. He drove the dragster more often than the FC, but at the NHRA Division 6 race at Mission B.C., he won Top Fuel with Low ET and Top Speed. The Mustang Funny Car also set Low ET and Top Speed, but lost in the semifinals. Only five FC's showed up at Portland's NHRA Division 6 race, and Ruth won rather easily. He soloed in the first round, with a 7.04 and then beat Twig Zeigler in the semifinal which turned out to be his only race as in the final Ray Hadford driving the "Green Elephant" popped a blower and Ruth got the victory.

Notes: Mike did not run any NHRA national events in 1980. Time was run at a match race in late 1980 and was considered suspect by competitors. Another late year performance, similar to Bill Leavitt in 1971, that stole the spotlight from the quickest runs made earlier in the year. We need details on these numbers if anyone has them.

Notes: Anderson qualified #12 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.26/260.11. He had problems in the first round against Chuck Etchells and shut off. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, his 5.36/294.21 qualified #11. He pulled off a big upset in the first round when both he and John Force smoked their tires. Randy recovered first, and his 5.96/190.83 beat Force's 6.23/222. In round two, he pulled off another upset where his 5.04/308.11 defeated Cruz Pedregon's 5.23/285. I'm sure that put a smile back on Force's face!. In the semi-final, Anderson lost to eventual winner Etchells. Gainesville was his next stop for the NHRA Gatornationals. Randy qualified #5 at 4.96/272.64. Jim Dunn replaced Larry Frazier as tuner.

Notes: The Little Hoss series started as an Eddie Pauling driven, Bakersfield winning (where they ran a string of 6.0s!) Monza in 1977. Car tossed the body in winning the final round, reemerging several weeks later as the familiar Arrow. Ran the second five in the sport, 5.973, at Irwindale's 64 Funny Cars show, but the official Five-Second Club does not recognize that run. Eddie was at Baton Rouge early in June for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. It was an eight-car field, and his 6.50/220.04 qualified #7. His off-pace 6.91 fell to Jake Johnston's 6.61 in the "Pisano and Matsubara" Monza in the opening round. Shortly after that (June 12), he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. His 6.17/210.28 qualified #4. Eddie beat Tom Hoover in the first round, but he pulled the parachute early in round two, costing him the race against Bob Pickett. Both had run 6.21, but Bob's came at 228 while Eddie's early chute resulted in a 198.67 speed. | Best NHRA times of 6.113/234.98 in qualifying #4 at Indy. The team ran the 5.97 at the 64 Funny Cars meet, Irwindale, CA, 4/09/77.

Notes: This was one of the first five funny's to top 200 mph. Making a lot of horsepower to push that big frontal area to those speeds. Sid debuted this car for some test runs at Memphis on August 17. The car had just been finished earlier that week. With some old slicks on the car the ET's weren't the best, but on the second pass he ran 174 and on his last of three runs he turned 179.64. This was on a 184 track record. Best et in '68 was a 7.51. Confirmed 7.76 Jackson Sid raced at an eight-car show at New York on October 13. He singled in the first round, when Ken Poffenberger failed to fire, and another single run of 7.88 got him into the final when Al Hanna was unable to show. In the final, a 7.89 finished second best to Henry Garcia's 7.73 in the Car Shop Camaro. - RH | Photo from the '68 OCIR mfg. meet. Ran 7.80s.

Notes: Johnny Loper started the season with an Arrow, but he changed over to a Mustang body at the end of June. Tripp was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #2 with a 6.131/243.90 (Top Speed). He beat Gordie Bonin and Tom Prock in the first two rounds before losing to eventual winner Tom Hoover's 6.24/234 with a 6.36/225.56. He won the Division 7 Opener at Beeline two weeks later (February 18), stopping Kenny Bernstein in the final. His next stop was at the Bakersfield March Meet. It was a sixteen-car field, and he lasted until round two before the car shook the tires hard, and he shut off against Bernstein. Shumake set Top Speed at the NHRA Gatornationals, where he qualified #4 at 6.26/243.90 (again setting Top Speed). Unfortunately, he got crossed up and shut off in the first round against eventual winner Bonin. The following week (March 18), he was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. A 6.24 qualified #3 in the eight-car field. He lasted until the semifinals before being stopped by Dale Pulde's 6.21 in the semifinals with an off-pace 6.82. He also ran at Atlanta on April 22 for the IHRA Dixie Nationals, but he failed to reach the finals. Things didn't go too well at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. It was rained out on April 29 and run on May 2. Tripp used up two motors attempting to qualify for the eight-car field, but he ended up as the first alternate with a best of 6.46/230.17. The NHRA Springnationals saw Shumake qualify #6 with a 6.18/236.84. But an opening-round 6.322/236.84 lost to Jim Adolph's 6.28/216. Rain postponed the IHRA Springnationals that was supposed to run at Bristol on June 17 to the following week, June 24. Eliminations there didn't matter to Tripp as he lost a blower in qualifying and the resulting fire wrecked the Arrow body. Shumake was OK. After that, the Mustang replaced the Arrow. The Pomona times were the Arrow's bests.

Notes: Gary started the '83 season at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals, where traction was poor. A 7.21 qualified #4, and he beat John Force in the first round with an 11.61. In the semifinal, he ran a 7.90 to beat Brian Raines "Impulse." In the final, an 11.13 was good for runner-up honors as Don Prudhomme beat him with a 7.00. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He led qualifying on Thursday with a 6.09/238.72. On Friday, he came back out and ran 6.022/243.24, qualifying #3. Gary picked up his pace to a 5.94/240.64 that stopped Billy Meyer in the first round. A second-round 6.20/237.46 got around Kenny Bernstein. He met with Tom Anderson in the semifinal, who used a 5.97/236 to stop Burgin's 6.18/234.98. He ran really well at the NHRA Gatornationals, where a 5.87/240.64 qualified second behind Mark Oswald's similar 5.87/254. In the first round, he set Low ET at 5.78 at 238.72 while beating Bernstein's 5.94/245. In the second round, he shut off and lost against Anderson. Gary then went to Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. It was an eight-car field, and he qualified second. He lasted until the semifinal before smoking the tires and losing to Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max." OCIR held its 64 Funny Car show in April. All cars were to make two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Gary's 6.35/230.76 lost to Prudhomme's 6.13/222 in his first race, and in the second, his 6.18/231.95 beat Gary Densham. Unfortunately, neither of his ETs was good enough to advance into the final. He then went to Green Valley Raceway on April 10 for the NHRA Division Four race. Normally, by '83, Fuel FCs were not part of the program. But the track wanted a full show of TF and FCs. It was an eight-car show, and Gary ran 6.29/225.56 in the opening round to beat Johnny West, and a 6.22/233.76 in the semifinal beat Tom Hoover's better 6.17/224. In the final, both he and Frank Hawley, driving the "Chi-Town Hustler," slipped and slid down the track, with Burgin getting the victory with a 6.92/221.13. He failed to qualify for the eight-car show at the NHRA Southern Nationals on April 17, where he had lots of problems and could run no better than 13.54/46.02. The following week (April 24), he was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Nationals. A 6.09 qualified #5, but he lost to Dale Pulde in the first round. Englishtown held its Springnationals race sponsored by K-Mart, and eight cars were competing. He won his first-round race with a 6.27/221.13 when R.C. Sherman's Arrow broke. In the semifinal, he ran 6.11/240.00 over Tim Grose's 6.39/222. In the semifinal, he faced the "Custom Body" car driven by Rick Johnson. In this race, Burgin was the underdog as Rick had run his first "5" in the other semifinal race. The two had a good race, but Burgin's 6.30/234.37 finished runner-up to Rick's 6.25/240. He then went to Maple Grove for its Coca-Cola Spring Championships. His seven-cylinder 6.33 qualified #1 for the eight-car field, and with rain looming, the two Low ET qualifiers met in the final. Burgin lost a blower belt, but his 6.53/220.04 still got the win over Scott Weney's 6.57/222. He did not go to Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals, but he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, where his 6.13/236.84 qualified #15. In the opening round, his 6.27/235.60 advanced over Meyer's troubled 9.12/83. A second-round 6.26/233.16 dropped Anderson's 6.29/243. He faced Beadle in the semifinal, and Gary's 6.42/171.75 lost to Beadle's 6.10/228. Shortly after that, he won the Crazy Eddie Night of Thrills race at Englishtown. He had run as well as 6.19/231.95 before he defeated Al Segrini in the final. Both had traction issues, and Burgin won with an 8.42/94.74. He made the trip to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, but he failed to qualify for the eight-car show with a 6.30 best. Later in the month (July), he was back at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, but his 6.23 best failed to qualify there as well. He skipped going to Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. In mid-August, Burgin was at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. He qualified #13 with a 6.43/214.79. He improved to 6.27/229.00 in the opening round, but it wasn't enough to beat Pulde's 6.06/230. Brainerd was the next stop on the NHRA schedule, and Gary ran 6.04/241.28 to qualify #11. He lost to Anderson's 5.88 in the opening round. This was not one of Burgin's better years, and it showed at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals, where he failed to qualify. Photo from 1982 GVRC match race. Assuming this was the Mustang, rebodied. We need to validate. We need to enter other NHRA national event times, but it looks like a best speed of 243.24 on the national event circuit. Where did the 254.23 occur? Iversen "shoehorn" body.

Notes: Hofmann couldn't have started the season any better; he won the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona. He had qualified #3 at 5.13/297.61. He then improved to 5.06/305.18 in the opening round to beat Mark Sievers. In the second round, his 5.13/294.88 defeated Del Worsham's 5.21/288. In the semifinal, he had a close race against Gary Clapshaw that saw both drivers run 5.16 (Al at "only" 250.20). But Hofmann got the win. In the final, he faced the always tough John Force. John had problems and slowed to 5.40/228 while Al ran 5.05/302.72 for the victory. While the Winternationals was a race for Al to remember, the NHRA Arizona Nationals was one he would probably want to forget. He "only" qualified #11 with a 5.28/289.01 and was packing up and headed home after the first round, where he lost to Whit Bazemore. Things went better at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Al qualified #1 at 5.06/287.90. A 5.13/295.66 in the first round beat Gary Bolger, but he fouled against Cruz Pedregon in round two. After that, he visited Roy Hill's driving school to get better on the lights. He then went to Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals and ran 5.08/299.90 to qualify #3. He got "revenge" on Bazemore by beating him with a 5.09/298.70 in the first round. Another 5.09 at 296.54 in the second round beat Mark Oswald's 5.21/283. He headed to the final after his 5.12/290.13 defeated Worsham's 5.17/286 in the semifinal. Unfortunately, Al smoked the tires in the final and shut down to 9.81/82.84, while Force got the win with a 5.05/294. Another runner-up finish to Force came at Rockingham in mid-April for the NHRA Winston Invitational. It was just an eight-car field, and his 5.12/294.02 qualified #3. Dean Skuza crossed the centerline against him in the first round, and Al advanced with a 5.19/286.62. In the semifinal, he had a good race with Cruz Pedregon that saw his 5.16/293.54 beat Cruz's 5.18/292. His final 5.18/292.96 fell to Force's 5.13/277. Shortly after that (April 21), he was in Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. This was not a memorable event for him. His 5.32/270.75 qualified #8, and he lost to Chuck Etchells in round one. Things went only slightly better at Richmond in the first week of June for the NHRA Virginia Nationals, where he qualified #3 at 5.09/293.82. Kenji Okazaki's 5.35/267 lost to his 5.07/292.40 in the first round, but a late 5.14/290.88 lost to Worsham's 5.16/284 in round two. Al ran his best times of the year with a semifinal finish at Topeka, running 4.986/308.21 in eliminations before losing to Force. Hofmann came to Indy without Crew Chief Tom Anderson after nearly six years together. He qualified 7th at 5.08/299 with new crew chief Jim Ermalovich. Hofmann marched to the finals (improving to 5.03 and 306.01 in the process), then wheelstood against John Force and lost. Rick Howard photo from 1996 US Nats, Indy.

Notes: This car made its debut in August and made shakedown runs at OCIR before heading east for the NHRA Nationals. At Indy Don used consistent low seven second times to capture his first NHRA National Event. He beat Leroy Goldstein (Ramchargers) in the final 7.001/214.79 to a losing 7.14/211.26. | Don debuted this car at OCIR on August 29 for an eight-car show. He ran really well, qualifying #1 with a 7.02/211.76 (Top Speed and a track record), well ahead of Mike Snively's 7.19 in the #2 spot. In the first round, he set Low ET with a 6.93 (track record) at 210.28 to beat alternate Johnny Wright in the "Fiberglass Trends" Javelin. Unfortunately, on that pass, Don shelled a rear axle and was unable to compete in the semifinals. A week later (September 7), he got his big win at Indianapolis for the NHRA US Nationals. Things didn't start out so well as on a Thursday qualifying attempt, Don lost a motor. But after installing a new one he qualified with a 7.07 and in the first round, his 7.17 beat Leonard Hughes quicker 7.10. In the second round, he ran another 7.07 at 210.28 to beat Jay Howell's 7.64/152 in Don Prudhomme's 'Cuda. Schumacher picked up to a 7.01/212.26 in the semifinals to beat Bobby Rowe's 7.18/205 in the "Super Duster" and in the final, he was just a tick of the clock away from the "sixes" with a 7.00/214.79 (Top Speed) that beat Leroy Goldstein's 7.14/211 in the "Ramchargers" Challenger for the title. It should also be noted that Schumacher had hired back his former crew chief, John Hogan, to help with his new car. | Best NHRA time was the 7.001/214.79.
