Notes: At the NHRA Citgo/K-Mart Cajun Nationals at Baton Rouge, Pete qualified #4 with a 7.551/183.26. He would face #12 qualifier Reid Whisnant in round 1 where Pete would red light rather blatantly to give Whisnant the win. The Camaro is newer & different paint than the photo used here. If anyone has a photo, additional info or better numbers for Smith in 1987, please let us know. - Rob McCabe

Notes: Although three Chevy Beretta's qualified at Brainerd in August for the NHRA Northstar Nationals, Pete's didn't, and his 7.48/183.59 was the second alternate. He qualified #13 at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals with a 7.417/186.45, but he lost to eventual winner Jerry Eckman in the opening round. The Indy times were his best of the year.

Notes: Rickie was the #4 qualifier at the first 500-inch pro stock race at the Winters, running 7.942/173.07. He was the #6 qualifier at Indy 82 at 7.896/173.74. | Rickie ran well at the NHRA Winternationals. After qualifying #4, he ran an off-pace 8.21/173.07 that beat Terry Sherrill's quicker 8.13/168. He advanced past a fouling John Brumley in round two with a 7.96/170.77 before losing to Frank Iaconio's 7.86/173 to his 7.95/172.08 in the semifinals. At the Gatornationals, Rickie qualified sixth with a 7.93/173.41 but had problems and could not run. He did not compete at the Southern Nationals in Atlanta. His 500 cubic inch program wasn't as successful as his IHRA set-up, but he still qualified in the top half of the field at the NHRA US Nationals with a 7.896. However, Joe Lepone got him in round one, when Rickie fouled (but he did run a booming 175.09 mph in the loss). Those were Rickie's best NHRA national event times.

Notes: The last Pro Stock car Don Hardy built. Considering the relatively short time Rickie had been racing in Pro Stock (since mid-1979), he was quite competitive in the NHRA ranks. He had been racing in IHRA for years in the Super Modified class. He dominated the class so much with his Maverick that they abandoned it. Entering into Pro Stock, he stayed with IHRA and was the first to run a "7" there. He was the '82 IHRA P/S World Champ. NHRA was a whole new ball game for him. Smith switched from his trusty Mustang to this all-new T-Bird for '83. It was a good-looking ride, and it caught the eyes of some crooks as it was stolen just before the NHRA Winternationals. Rickie got it back and repaired the vandalized car, but it was ready for eliminations. Smith qualified #6 with a 7.887/177.51. He had one of three Fords that qualified. In the opening round, his 7.91/176.47 beat Gordie Rivera's 8.01/170. In the second round, eventual winner Frank Iaconio ran 7.79/175 to beat his 7.96/173.41. At Gainesville, for the NHRA Gatornationals, the same three Fords qualified for the show (Bob Glidden, Roy Hill, and Smith). Smith was the quickest of the group at 7.74/176.81, which put him #6 overall. A 7.76/175.43 in the opening round beat Roy Hill's 7.99/159. He had a very close race with Reid Whisnant in round two, where both ran 7.75 (Smith at 175.43), but Rickie got the win. Once again, Iaconio had his number, and in the semifinal, the Camaro's 7.68/181 put the T-Bird's 7.80/177.51 on the trailer. Things didn't go too well at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. It was an eight-car show, and Smith's 7.95/174.41 best was the fourth alternate. It was unusual that no Fords qualified there. Smith was busy running the IHRA Circuit as well, and after winning two IHRA races with the big engine combination, he showed up at Baton Rouge at the end of May for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. This was another eight-car field, and this time his 7.90/174.75 qualified on the "bump." Once again, the same three Fords qualified for the show. Unfortunately, Rickie didn't hang around long as in the first round, Glidden's 7.87/176 beat his 7.96/172.74. He won an IHRA race at Bristol the following week before returning to NHRA for its Springnationals in Columbus. A 7.85/174.75 qualified #6, but in round one, his 7.89/173.07 fell to Whisnant's Mopar at 7.83/171. At Englishtown, for the NHRA Summernationals, he fell back a bit in qualifying. His 7.95/175.09 qualified #11, and he went out in the first round, where his fouling 8.00/174.41 lost to Glidden's 7.79/177. He did not race at Denver for the NHRA Mile-High Nationals, but he was at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. This was an eight-car show, and he qualified on the "bump" with a 7.88/175.09. Smith beat Don Campanello in the opening round before fouling against Warren Johnson in the semifinal. He shut down to 8.09/141.73 in the loss. He bypassed the NHRA Northstar Nationals but was one of almost 50 Pro Stock drivers attempting to qualify at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals. His 7.84/177.16 qualified #7. In round one, he improved to 7.82/176.81 to defeat Dave Hutchens' 7.95/174. In round two, his 7.91/176.47 fell to Iaconio's 7.77/177. The next race on the NHRA schedule was the Golden Gate Nationals held at Fremont early in October. Almost everyone that qualified for the tough eight-car fields ran personal bests. Smith found himself on the "bump" with a 7.78/178.57. In the first round, he upset WJ with a 7.80/178.71 that beat the Cutlass' 7.88/174. In the semifinal, he fouled away a 7.83 against Lee Shepherd, who won with a 7.70/176. The NHRA's season came to a close at OCIR for the World Finals. Smith qualified #11 there with a 7.79/177.51. But his day was cut short in the first round, where WJ beat him. Still, he finished seventh in the points for his first full season in NHRA competition. That was ahead of many drivers that had been running a lot longer in the class. Rickie's best times came from Gainesville and Fremont at 7.745/178.71, respectively.

Notes: Ran NHRA with Motorcraft sponsorship, but under his own name in IHRA, ADRA, and match races. Rickie scared many of his long-time Ford fans by purchasing the Scribner brothers Camaro at the end of the '83 season. Not only did he buy the car, but he also sold off some of his engines to the Scribner brothers, who were having a Cougar built for the '84 season. He had a change of heart as the Camaro was soon listed for sale in National Dragster along with a statement," staying with Ford." It was a few more seasons before he made the switch. Smith did not run at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but he did go to Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Forty-six cars were attempting to qualify for the sixteen-car field, and Smith failed to make the show with a best of 7.873. In the middle of April, he went to Atlanta at the NHRA Southern Nationals. Unfortunately, he failed to qualify (last alternate - not times available). Smith could make the "big" Ford engines fly, but these were 500 cubic inches things were something else. He then stopped racing any NHRA National events until the NHRA US Nationals at Indy. There he ended up as the 4th alternate at 7.842/179.28. Not bad when you consider 42 cars were trying to qualify. Still not good if you were used to winning as Rickie was in the IHRA competition. Things went better at the NHRA World Finals, where his 7.811/178.21 qualified #13. He ended any shot Warren Johnson might have had in winning the world championship by dropping him in the opening round of eliminations with a 7.892/174.41 to WJ's off pace 7.97/175. But he came up against Bob Glidden in round two, and his 7.85/176.47 lost to the eventual winner Glidden's 7.68/180. He also competed at the Suffolk Little Guy Nationals in November. Eighteen cars attempted to qualify for the eight-car show, and Smith's 7.88/176.12 (Top Speed) got him the #7 spot. He beat the only other Ford in the show, Roy Hill's, in the first round, with a 7.94/174.75, but his off-pace was 8.13/145.16 in the semifinal loss to the eventual winner Tim Nabor's 7.84/172.

Notes: Rickie was the strongest running Ford on the IHRA Circuit, and for '85, he wanted to try to make it into more NHRA shows. In January, he went to Firebird Raceway and tested his car during the Super Bowl of Drag Racing event. Rickie's best was 7.78/178. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he just made the field, running 7.77/179.64 for the "bump spot.” He did OK in the first round, where he stepped up to a quick-leaving 7.71/178.64, beating Ronnie Manchester's quicker 7.69/179. In the second round, his 7.75/176.26 lost to Warren Johnson's 7.69/179. He qualified #11 at the NHRA Gatornationals with a 7.74/180.36, but in the first round, he shut down early to 8.92/112.78 and lost to Butch Leal's 7.63/178. Smith was one of four Fords to qualify at the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta. 32 cars attempted to make the field, and Rickie's 7.82/177.86 qualified #10. He shaved the light too close and fouled in the first round, slowing to 8.04 in a loss to Leal's 7.74. At the NHRA Cajun Nationals, his 7.76/180.36 was good for the first alternate. He also failed to make the show at the NHRA Springnationals, where his 7.82/177.16 was the sixth alternate, and in Canada for the Grandnationals, where he was the first alternate with a best of 7.72/179.64. Things went better at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, where he qualified #15 with a 7.74, but he went out early in eliminations. From there, he went to Maryland International for the Pro Stock Open event, where he finished runner-up to Roy Hill. He skipped the NHRA Mile High Nationals in Denver and the NHRA Northstar Nationals, but he was at Indy for the US Nationals. A best of 7.81/178.92 failed to make the 7.76 "bump.” Rickie did not attend the next two NHRA events (Keystone Nats and Fallnats), but he was back at Pomona for the World Finals, where his 7.83/176.95 was good for the fifth alternate.

Notes: Rickie was great with the big-inch IHRA Pro Stocks, but in NHRA Competition he was having a tough time just trying to qualify. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he was the second alternate with a best of 7.577/181.41. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he was the fourteenth alternate with a 7.611/181.89 best. He also ran 7.635/181.52 at Atlanta, 7.691/178.67 at Columbus, and 7.636/181.37 at Indy. None of these efforts qualified. Indy was Rickie's last NHRA event of the year. The car had white letters in a red field. Glidden had red letters in a white field. Photo from Gainesville 3/87. Formerly listed 7.532/183.29 but that did not occur on the NHRA circuit. We need validation.

Notes: Smith's 500 cubic inch program left a lot to be desired. While he dominated in the big monster-motored cars, his Ford effort with the "small" engine lagged behind. He won the first three IHRA races of the season, but Bily Meyer (IHRA president at the time) kept throwing weight on his car to try and slow him down. But in NHRA racing, he was hard-pressed even to qualify. He went to Gainesville along with 55 other Pro Stock hopefuls, and his 7.52/184.99 best was nowhere near good enough to make the field which had a 7.41 "bump."

Notes: After being the top dog in mountain motored Ford cars since '78, Smith made the big leap into a Pontiac for '89. The season didn't start so well when Rickie failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Things went better at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals where he qualified #12, but he lost to Bruce Allen. At Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, 50 cars showed. Smith qualified #14 and beat Morris Johnson Jr. in the first round, before losing to Allen again in round two. Rickie ran really well at Atlanta in April for the NHRA Southern Nationals. A 7.38/186.52 qualified #6. He beat Ken Koretsky in round one, and a 7.47/184.38 beat Warren Johnson's 7.48/186 in round two. In the semifinals, he came up against Allen and once again Bruce got the win with a 7.41/185 beating Smith's 7.49/184.04. | Rick Howard photo from 1989 NHRA Budweiser Springnats, Columbus, OH. 7.466 184.72 NHRA Indianapolis IN 9/89 (12th Alternate). - Danny White

Notes: Rickie started the NHRA season by qualifying #15 at the Winternationals with a 7.40/187.93. He was sharp on the tree, running a first-round 7.43/186.10 to cover Joe Lepone's quicker 7.35/187. In the second round, Warren Johnson's 7.34/188 beat his 7.42/186.45. At the next event, the Arizona Nationals, a 7.40/186.95 was good for first alternate. Rickie just made the field at the following race, the Supernationals, where a 7.334/187.03 qualified #16. Once again, his driving got him past the first-round when he ran a 7.31/187.46 to beat Mark Pawuk's 7.30/188. In the second round, a 7.35/187.11 beat Larry Morgan's 7.38/189. Unfortunately, a 7.29/188 by Bruce Allen put an end to Rickie's (7.34/187.57) run. At Gainesville for the Gatornationals on March 18, he once again qualified way down the list with a 7.38/186.95 being #13. He got past a fouling Pawuk in the first round, with a 7.44/185.41 and a 7.40/186 beat Morgan's 7.47/185 in the second round. In the semifinal, his 7.38/187.07 beat Bob Glidden's 7.39/189. He met another NHRA first time Pro Stock finalist, Kenny Delco. A final round 7.36/187.22 finished runner-up to Delco's 7.28/189. He then went to Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. A 7.34/187.42 qualified #11. In the opening round, he improved slightly to a 7.33/187.42 to beat James Antonette and a second round 7.34/187.53 stopped Jim Yates' 7.49/186. But in the semifinals, his 7.38/187.89 lost to Larry Morgan's 7.29/188. Rickie moved up in qualifying at the Southern Nationals where a 7.30/187.81 was good for #9. Unfortunately, he lost to Morgan in the opening round. Best NHRA times were 7.266/189.19 at Ennis Fall.

Notes: Smith attempted to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but his best of 7.25/190.31 was good for the first alternate. At the Motorcraft Nationals in Arizona, he again failed to qualify, running a 7.35/187.89 best as the seventh alternate. He improved to career bests of 7.13/193.13 to qualify #8 at Houston for the Slick 50 Nationals. A first-round 7.18/191.28 beat Joe Lepone Jr's 7.26/190. In round two, Tricky Rickie pulled one of his patented holeshots on Warren Johnson and ran a 7.17/191.00 to win over WJ's 7.11/194. In the semifinals, it was he who got left on as Larry Morgan's 7.19/191 beat his 7.18/190.96. NHRA's next stop was at Gainesville for the Gatornationals. Rickie qualified #15 with a 7.16/192.76. In the first round, he surprised Scott Geoffrion with a holeshot 7.22/191.00 that beat Scott's 7.18/192. In round two, a 7.25/190.35 beat David Rampy's 7.28/187. For the second race in a row, he was in the semifinals, and once again, he faced Morgan. Rickie tried to get away with a holeshot, but he "bulbed," and his 7.25/190.71 was for naught as Larry went into the final with a 7.19/192. At the non-points NHRA Winston Invitational, Smith qualified #14 with a 7.20/191.97. He showed his driving talent by beating Mark Pawuk's 7.14/193 in the first round, with a 7.18/192.47. In round two, both he and Jim Yates ran 7.20's, but Yates got the win. These early season races were run using a Bickel-built car. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, he debuted a new Haas-built Firebird. The new car qualified #12 with a 7.22/190.67. He beat Lepone Jr's 7.32/190 in the first round, with a 7.27/189.31. In the second round, his 7.31/189.95 fell to Frank Iaconio's 7.26/190. At Memphis for the NHRA Mid-South Nationals, Smith didn't have a good outing as his best of 7.29 was good for the fifth alternate spot. He rebounded nicely by qualifying #9 at Englishtown for the Mopar Parts Nationals with a 7.16/191.57. He treed Morgan in the first round, with his 7.27/189.35 beating Larry's quicker 7.20/192. Unfortunately, he lost to WJ in round two. Photo from 1993 US Nationals.

Notes: Photo from the 1994 NHRA Springnationals, National Trail Raceway, Columbus, Ohio. | Rickie started the '94 season by qualifying on the "bump" spot at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.17/192.84. A 7.22/191.40 lost to low qualifier and eventual winner Warren Johnson's 7.12/194. At the NHRA Quality Care Nationals in Arizona, Smith's best of 7.23/192.67 failed (second alternate) to qualify. Smith made up for his non-qualifying effort by qualifying #12 at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals with a 7.14/193.29. He beat Bob Glidden's T-Bird in the first round, with a 7.17, but in round two, his 7.18 lost to Kurt Johnson's 7.12. Rickie ran well at the NHRA Gatornationals, qualifying #8 with a 7.14/193.13. Both he and Kurt Johnson ran 7.23 (Smith at 191.28) in the first round, but Rickie got the win light. In the second race, Kurt's dad Warren dropped Smith's 7.20/191.85 with a 7.11/195. In April he was at Rockingham for NHRA's Winston Invitational. He ran 7.13/193.13 to qualify #11. Unfortunately, a first-round 7.20/191.48 lost to the meet's eventual winner Darrell Alderman's 7.11/194. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, Rickie once again qualified on the "bump" with a 7.18/192.63. WJ beat his 7.22/191.48 in the first round, with a 7.10/195. The sixth race of NHRA's '94 season was the Mid-South Nationals at Memphis. A 7.22/190.51 qualified #11. Rickie was used to winning as he was very successful on the IHRA trail, but he was not used to just making the NHRA shows and losing early. So in the first round, at Memphis, he pushed the tree a little too hard and fouled against Mark Osborne.

Notes: Rickie started the season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He failed to qualify as his 7.16/192.96 was good for the first alternate. He also failed to make the field at the NHRA Arizona Nationals, where he was the third alternate with a 7.16/193.09 best. Smith really stepped up at Houston, where he qualified #7 with a 7.035/195.35. Those would hold as his best NHRA national event times of the season. But he slowed to 7.12/193.79 in the first round and lost to Bill Glidden's 7.07/196. At Gainesville, for the NHRA Gatornationals, he ran 7.09/194.46 to qualify #10. This time, his 7.08/194.72 lost to Rusty Glidden's 7.01/196 in the first round. He was at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational event. A 7.10/194.46 qualified #11, and in round one, his 7.13/194.04 lost to Larry Morgan's 7.12/192. The next NHRA race was the Southern Nationals held at Atlanta Dragway. Smith qualified #12 with a 7.13/193.38. In the first round, he fouled away a 7.20/191.06 against Darrell Alderman. The NHRA Mid-South Nationals was held at Memphis in the first week of May, and Rickie qualified #8 at this race with a 7.07/193.92. In the opening round of eliminations, his 7.15/192.34 lost to the eventual winner Mark Pawuk's 7.14/193. While Smith was losing early at these races, you have to consider that there were sometimes over 40 cars attempting to qualify for these fields. Just making the program was a big deal. Unfortunately, Smith failed to qualify at Englishtown for the NHRA Mopar Parts Nationals, where he was the first alternate with a 7.11/194.30. His next stop was at Richmond for the NHRA Virginia Nationals, where he ran 7.16/192.38 to qualify #15. In round one, his 7.19/192.14 fell to Jim Yates' 7.07/195. He was the fourth alternate at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals at 7.25/190.67. At Topeka, Smith qualified #8 for the NHRA Western Nationals with a 7.09/193.79. His 7.15/191.93 lost to Kurt Johnson's 7.08/193 in the first round. At Denver, he qualified #12 with a 7.55/181.45 for the NHRA Mile-High Nationals. In the first round, Yates' 7.48/183 beat his 7.58/182.11. He also qualified well at Sonoma, where his 7.10/194.46 qualified #6 for the NHRA Autolite Nationals. Both he and Steve Schmidt ran 7.14 in the first round (Smith 193.84), with Schmidt crossing the stripe first. Converted from 264 comp number to 43 in tribute to Petty Racing.

Notes: Rick Howard (qualifying) photo of the 1996 US Nats, Indy. Seventh member of the Holley Six Second Club (6.999 at Englishtown on May 18/1996) qualified 6th at 7.07/195.05 for Indy. Defeated Barry Grant, Larry Morgan, and Jerry Eckman to reach only his second final since his win at Sonoma in '93. Lost to Kurt Johnson for the title. Jim Yates team car. | Rickie was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he was the seventh alternate, running a best of 7.15/193.21. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, he was the fifth alternate at 7.11/193.67. Things took a huge turn for the better at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Rickie's 7.01/196.85 qualified #7 and an opening round 7.04/196.20 beat Bob Glidden's 7.08/195. Another 7.04 at 196.59 stopped Ray Franks' 7.10/195 in round two, but his run came to an end in the semifinals where his 7.03/195.82 lost to eventual winner Jim Yates' 7.03/195. Even though the numbers were close, the race wasn't as Smith was unusually late off the line.
