Notes: Bobby tried his hand at nitro funny car racing in 1997 and had a pretty rough go of it. He attempted to qualify at four NHRA national events and didn't make the field at any. He ran 7.314/121.26 at the Winters, 8.936/92.63 at Gainesville, No Times Recorded at St. Louis (which may have been a decent run - anybody got the info?) Bobby converted to a top fuel car for his final national event - the NHRA World Finals.

Notes: Tony qualified #2 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.10/295.37 behind Cruz Pedregon's 4.93/307. In the opening round, he was upset by Richard Hartman's 5.04/297, which defeated his 5.11/300.50. He then went to Firebird Raceway for the NHRA Arizona Nationals, where his 5.17/297.52 qualified #5. In the first round, his 5.14/296.54 beat Dean Skuza's 5.24/280, but he lost to Kenji Okazaki in round two. He qualified #5 again at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals with a 5.12/291.45. 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. The following week, he was in Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, where he qualified #6 at 5.15/275.81. In round one, his 5.11/300.50 took out Skuza's 5.23/279. A 5.12/298.30 dropped Densham's 5.32/265 in round two, and in the semi-final, a 5.05/296.73 took care of Whit Bazemore's 5.34/286. He faced Force in the final, and Pedregon ran 5.10/294.59 to get the victory over his boss's 5.31/275. He then went to Richmond in the first week of May for the NHRA Virginia Nationals, where he hoped to score another win. He qualified #4 with a 5.09/291.54. A off-pace 5.56/269.78 ended any chance in the first round, where he lost to Brad Platt's 5.32/238. Tony was the fifth member of the Castrol Four Second Club on July 5, 1996, with a 4.971 at Topeka, Kan. Tony's best times of the year came in a 4.909/208.64 #1 qualifying effort at NHRA Ennis Fall.

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: Cruz Pedregon started the NHRA season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with a 4.935/307.06. An opening round 5.08/296.06 beat Gary Densham, and in round two, his 5.12/299.10 took out Dale Pulde. He faced John Force in the semifinals, and Cruz smoked the tires and lost to John's 5.25/298. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, his 5.17 qualified #4, but he fouled against Kenji Okazaki in the first round. Only sixteen cars showed at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, so qualifying wasn't an issue - Pedregon's 5.16/300.30 got him the #8 spot in the field. In round one, he beat Whit Bazemore with a 5.21/268.89, followed by a second round 5.11/297.02 that advanced over a fouling Al Hofmann. But in the semifinals, he and Force had a good race that saw Force's 5.08/300 outrun Cruz's 5.13/301.30.

Notes: Rick Howard photo from 1996 US Nats, Indy. Qualified 16th at 5.18/295.76 but had the misfortune of running against John Force in round one. Would eventually be the sixth member of the Castrol Four Second Club (October 26/1996) with a 4.932 at Pomona Calif. | Richard Hartman had the only Chevy-bodied car to qualify in Funny Car at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His 5.51/218.49 got him the #15 spot in the field. He shocked Tony Pedregon in the opening round when his 5.04/297.42 beat the #2 qualifier's 5.11/300. Tony was so surprised that he thought his car had broken the way Richard had pulled away. But in round two, Hartman lost to Gary Clapshaw in a Camaro versus Mustang run. At Firebird Raceway, for the NHRA Arizona Nationals, Richard's 5.15/293.82 qualified #3. But this time, it was he who was upset in the first round. Gary Bolger, who qualified #14, stepped up to 5.24 to eliminate him in the opening round. Hartman continued to qualify strongly at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, where his 5.08/293.73 qualified #2 behind Al Hofmann's 5.06/287. He had a close first-round race that saw his 5.11/282.57 beat Tim Wilkerson's 5.14/275. But in round two, an off-pace 5.54/221.02 lost to Del Worsham's 5.41/215. It was then off to Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals. A 5.13/288.83 qualified #5. But he lost to Tony Pedregon in round one. He did not race at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. Richard ran 4.932/304.05 to lead qualifying at the NHRA World Finals. Unfortunately, he lost to Ray Higley in round one, when he shut off to a 12-second pass.

Notes: Tim had gotten his fuel FC license at the Texas Motorplex early in the year. He ran 5.50 and 5.47 on his licensing runs. He bought K.C. Spurlock's Avenger and went FC racing. He made his FC National debut at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Only sixteen cowed, so qualifying wasn't much of an issue. Still, he ran 5.34 and 5.29/282.84. The 5.29 got him the #15 spot in the field. He improved to 5.14/275.14 in the opening round wasn't enough as he lost to Richard Hartman's 5.11/282. Wilkerson really showed them at Houston, where his 5.08/276.32 qualified #2 behind John Force's 4.97/298 for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals. A 5.45/258.69 was all that was needed in the first round to beat Gary Bolger, but he had problems in round two and shut down to 10.08/80.81 in a loss to Del Worsham's 7.35/121. Rick Howard photo from 1996 US Nats, Indy. Qualified 5th at 5.06/297. Defeated Dean Skuza in round one before falling to Cruz Pedregon's holeshot in Round 2. Became the seventh member of the Castrol Four Second Club a month later (October 26) with a 4.945 at Pomona, Calif.

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.

He improved to 5.241/280.54 in the first round, but it wasn't enough, as he lost to Tony Pedregon's 5.14/296. Gainesville: 5.122/290.22 Q6. Lost R1 to Paul Smith, 5.23/274 to 5.813/188.00.

Won R1 over Jim Blake, 5.307/281/33 to 5.58/247. Lost R2 to Cruz Pedregon, 5.25/278 to 7.955/101.81. Sonoma: 5.197/285.44 Q11. Lost R1 to Bazemore, 5.15/298 to 5.529/262.62. Seattle: 5.207/273.63 Q11. Lost R1 to John Force, 5.02/302 to 5.236/261.24. Brainerd: 5.318/237.65 Q15. Lost R1 to Tim Wilkerson, 5.16/288 to 5.454/240.70. Indy: 5.126/300.20 Q12. Lost R1 to Wilkerson, 5.09/300 to 5.709/197.56. Maple Grove: 5.271/262.92 Q7. Lost R1 to Jeff Arend, 5.30/279 to 5.413/254.95. Topeka Fall: 5.125/299.80 Q11. Won R1 over Kenji Okazaki, 5.010/306.22 to 5.06/298. Lost R2 to Cruz Pedregon, 5.067/301 to 5.063/293.63 (holeshot). Ennis: 5.120/284.81 Q9. Lost R1 to Tom Hoover, 5.09/278 to 5.236/267.45. This was a clash of two good racers who rarely got out of the first round this year. Unfortunately for Dean, Hoover won one of his few opening rounds with his best ET of the season. Pomona Finals: 5.050/289.20 Q7. Lost R1 to Okazaki, 5.19/299 to 5.550/254.52. Like Hoover, one had to wonder what caused the inconsistency for some teams this year. Inconsistent clutch discs?

Notes: Mark was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #7 with a 5.21/287.90. In the first round, his 5.28/270.92 lost to Gary Clapshaw's 5.11/292. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, his 5.23/266.07 qualified #9. An opening round 5.24/278.89 beat Dale Pulde, but in round two, Oswald's 5.21/287.53 lost to John Force's 5.10/258. The next stop was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Mark ran 5.21/261.09 to qualify #12. He beat Tony Pedregon in round one with a 5.32/282.57, but it was Force who stopped him again in round two. This time his 5.22/278.98 lost to John's 5.12/295. The next stop for the team was Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals. A 5.21/262.62 qualified #11, and in the opening round, he improved to 5.13/287.81 to defeat Chuck Etchells' 5.20/244. In round two, his 5.21/283.19 lost to Al Hofmann's 5.09/296. He did not compete at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational, but he was at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. Mark qualified #4 with a 5.15/289.01. The team used a new injector from Don Hampton with a 15 percent bigger frontal area than the Enderle unit they previously used. Both he and Tom Hoover had problems in round one, but Oswald's 5.76/259.74 came top on top. In round two, his 5.28/276.15 beat an early-lifting Kenji Okazaki at 10.57. Force's 5.13/298 got him in the semi-final, where Mark smoked the tires and shut off to 15.41/76.80. He Also ran 299.50 at Topeka in 1996.

Notes: Rick Howard photo at 1996 US Nats, Indy. Fogged in by his own burnout smoke, Whit qualified 6th at 5.08/300.50 and was dropped by Del Worsham in round one. | Whit Bazemore got a new ride for '96. He replaced Gordie Bonin behind the wheel of the "Smokin' Joe's" Mustang. He ran really well at Pomona for the season opening NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #4 with a 5.13/283.82. An even better 5.12/296.93 advanced in the first round, when Tom Hoover broke, but in round two his 5.28/265.48 lost to John Force's 5.11/297. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, Whit’s 5.17/290.69 qualified #6. He beat Al Hofmann in the opening round with a 5.20/273.22 and a second round 5.31/265.40 took out Gary Bolger. Unfortunately, he lost to Chuck Etchells in the semifinals. His next stop was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. A 5.17/280.63 qualified #9, but he fell off to a 5.84/195.48 in the opening round that lost to Cruz Pedregon's 5.21/268. Houston was the next stop on the NHRA tour for the Slick 50 Nationals. Bazemore qualified #14 with a 5.30/232.61. A first-round 5.45/228.54 did him no good against Hofmann's 5.09/298. The next event was the NHRA Winston Invitational at Rockingham. It was only an eight-car show and Whit qualified #7 with a 5.32/281.07. His 5.38/281.42 in the first round, lost to Pedregon's 5.22/293. A week later (April 21), he was at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. The team was stuck in the 5.30s, only running a best of 5.38/279.06 to qualify #10. A first-round 5.37/286.89 narrowly beat Tim Wilkerson's 5.39/219. In round two, opponent Jeff Arend broke and Whit advanced with a 5.58/200.26. He then made his best run of the weekend, a 5.34/286.07, but it wasn't enough to beat Tony Pedregon's 5.05/296 in the semis.

Notes: Worsham qualified #11 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.44/268.33. His 5.93/188.52 advanced when Wyatt Radke lost a blower in the first round. He ran 5.21/288.18 in round two, but it wasn't enough to beat eventual winner Al Hofmann's 5.13/294. He then went to Firebird Raceway for the NHRA Arizona Nationals, where his 5.46/222.55 best was the first alternate. Things went much better at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. He qualified #7 with a 5.14/287.44. In the opening round, his 5.19/289.66 defeated Tom Hoover's tire-smoking 6.04/163. In the second round, his 5.41/215.67 beat Richard Hartman's 5.54/221. Worsham's run ended in the semifinal, where Chuck Etchell's 5.07/305 beat his 5.32/229.12. He also qualified #7 at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals with a 5.16/280.89. In round one, Del's 5.22/278.03 dropped Cruz Pedregon. Tim Wilkerson had problems against him in round two and shut off to 10.08, while Worsham advanced at 7.35/121.47. He gave Hofmann a good race in the semifinal, but his 5.17286.35 fell to Al's 5.12/290. Still, back-to-back semifinal finishes were impressive. He also qualified for the eight-car field at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. A 5.14/289.94 qualified #5. In the opening round, he beat Tony Pedregon's 5.26/285 with a 5.21/281.42. He lost to the eventual winner John Force's 5.21/287 with a 5.30/271.16 in yet another semifinal finish. Del's best times came in qualifying at the NHRA World Finals, where a 5.036/299.70 earned him the #6 qualifying slot. He lost to Tony Pedregon in round two.

Notes: Gary went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified on the "bump" for the show with a 5.55/272.47. He lost to Cruz Pedregon in the opening round. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, his 5.55/221.23 was the second alternate. But he got into the field when #7 qualifier Paul Smith could not race. The first two alternates were not ready, so Densham got in. Unfortunately, he lost to Chuck Beal. Only sixteen cars showed up to qualify at Gainesville, so qualifying wasn't much of an issue. Still, Gary ran 5.25/284.36 to take the #14 spot. But in the opening round of eliminations, his 5.21/290.32 lost to Chuck Etchell's 5.18/294. He really stepped up at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals, where his career-best 5.13/293.63 qualified #4. He beat Dean Skuza in round one, with a 5.20/290.88 but his off-pace 5.38/244.43 in round two lost to Tony Pedregon's 5.12/300. Rick Howard photo from 1996 NHRA US Nats, Indy. Failed to qualify for the main show with a 17th best 5.24/292. Did qualify for Big Bud Shootout and improved to 5.05/301 in round one, but lost to Cruz Pedregon.

Notes: Hoover qualified #13 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.485/246.84. Unfortunately, the car broke against Whit Bazemore in the first round. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals held near the end of February, his 5.425/239.68 qualified on the "bump." In the opening round, he lost to low qualifier and eventual winner John Force, 5.12/295 to a 10-second shutoff. He had an eventful weekend at Gainesville in March. During qualifying, the car went into a wheelstand, and the body fell off the chassis. The chassis returned to the track, but the body was damaged. He mounted another one and ran 5.185/280.63 to qualify #10. After all that work, Hoover smoked the tires to 6.044/163.01 in a losing effort against Del Worsham in the first round. Seventeen fuel FCs showed up at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals, and Tom qualified #9 at 5.177/269.94. More problems in round one saw Hoover and his opponent, Kenji Okazaki, both overpower the track and smoke the tires. When Hoover saw Kenji's tire smoke, he hammered it again, and the front end came up. The body once again flew off, landing right side up this time. When the chassis hit the pavement, it broke a Heim joint, and Hoover had no steering. He hit the wall, scraping along it for quite a short distance. Kenji won with a 10-second pass, and Tom was disqualified. The NHRA Winston Invitational saw Hoover have more of a "normal" weekend. He qualified on the "bump" for the eight-car field and lost to low qualifier Force in the first round. NHRA Atlanta only had 16 cars show up, and qualifiers 13/16 were all over 10 seconds! Tom was #13 at 10.389/82.92. He lost to Mark Oswald in round one, 5.75/259 to 9.805/87.22. He qualified on the bump at NHRA Richmond with a 5.440/237.96 but lost to Force in round one, 5.040/297 to 5.962/165.68. He again benefitted from a 16-car field in Englishtown, and his 8.413/99.55 was #15. Tom lost to Al Hoffmann in round one, 5.14/297 to another abysmal run of 11.006/79.82. Only Jerry Caminito's 9.62 first alternate effort allowed Tom's 8.297/102.31 into the field in Columbus. Again, he suffered significant issues in round one and lost to Force, 5.02/304 to 10.565/84.01. Tom improved somewhat by Memphis, qualifying #10 at 5.350/256.77. He surprised Al Hoffmann in round one, 7.216/125.54 to an 8.73/87. Gremlins crept back in by round two, and Cruz Pedregon won easily, 5.24/293 to 8.932/95.79. Tom also had a solid qualifying effort at Topeka Spring, going 5.239/268.89 for #12. He beat Tim Wilkerson in round one, running 5.395/210.52 when Tim Broke. Hoffmann got to him in round two, however, 6.39/163 to Tom's troubled 13.111/72.63. Tom qualified #11 up on the mountain in Denver, going 5.369/255.39. He lost to Gary Densham in round one, 5.30/288 to 7.915/104.93. In Sonoma, Tom went 5.245/257.87 for #13 on the qualifying sheet. He actually made a representative run in round one, but his 5.551/210.72 lost to Hofmann's 5.09/305. Tom was the first alternate in Seattle at 9.266/88.98 but qualified #10 at Brainerd at 5.217/269.20. He again lost a step in round one, falling to Tony Pedregon, 5.20/297 to 6.362/146.48. At Indy, Tom qualified 15th at 5.180/285.08. He lost a close one to Tony Pedregon in round one. 5.01/306 to 5.109/283.64. Tom did not qualify for the Big Bud Shootout race within a race at Indy. He was the first alternate at Maple Grove at 5.770/188.12 but qualified #14 at Topeka Fall at 5.142/243.96. Tom lost to Cruz Pedregon in round one, 5.16/301 to 10.215/84.76. At Ennis, Tom stepped up to 5.111/281.16 for the #8 spot, his best qualifying spot of the year. He kept it going in round one, too, hitting 5.098/278.29 to take out Dean Skuza's 5.23/267. His off-pace 7.983/105.93 lost to Tony Pedregon's 5.06/301 in round two. Tom wrapped up the year with a #13 qualifying spot at the Winston Finals, going 5.166/256.62. A 12.040-83.13 lost to nemesis Al Hoffman's 5.43/204 in round one. Tom was one of the most consistent funny car racers in history, with solid times nearly every year. I would love to know what happened to him in 1996. Bad clutch discs, perhaps? It was a brutal year for one of the nicest guys on the circuit. Rick Howard photo from 1996 US Nats, Indy.

Notes: Bolger started the season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #8 with a 5.27/284.36. In round one, a better 5.24/284.53 fell to Dale Pulde's 5.23/276. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, a 5.33/284.27 qualified #14. In the opening round, he picked up to a 5.24/283.55 to beat Richard Hartman, but he lost to Whit Bazemore in round two. Car owner Dale Creasy installed a computer in the car for the first time at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Qualifying there wasn't much of an issue as only 16 cars showed. Still, Gary's 5.31/272.56 was the slowest of the bunch. In the opening round of eliminations, Bolger's 5.63/200.57 fell to low qualifier Al Hofmann's 5.13/295. The next NHRA event was the Slick 50 Nationals held at Houston. A 5.30/283.55 qualified #15, and Gary lost to Tim Wilkerson in the first round. The team did not compete at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational event. Once again, only 16 cars showed in Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. A Super Stock-like time of 10.95/72.45 qualified #14 (two cars were slower!). But once again, he lost in the opening round, this time to Gary Densham. Early in May, the team was at Richmond for the NHRA Virginia Nationals. A strong 5.18/278.20 qualified #9. After that, things went wrong. He beat Dean Skuza in round one, with a 5.53/206.18, but that came with the engine blowing and causing the car to turn into a fireball. The body was completely destroyed. Gary was alright, but the car was done, and there was no way it could be repaired for a round-two battle against John Force. Gary didn't miss a beat and was back behind the wheel at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. There he qualified #12 with a 5.29/275.48. Unfortunately, he lost to Tony Pedregon in round one. Bolger failed to qualify for the Big Go with a best of 5.28/287.53 but managed to qualify for the Big Bud Shootout. He lost in round one, to John Force (photo). Gary's best times of the year came in a round two loss to John Force at Topeka, 4.94/308 to 5.099/292.49. Rick Howard photo from 1996 US Nats, Indy.
