Notes: Allen was in Connecticut in April for an eight-car show. In the first round, his 9.50 beat Bobby Lewis, but in the semifinal, his off-pace 10.67 lost to eventual winner Richie Zul's 9.43. He was at Englishtown on May 6 for the NHRA Division One opener. An opening round 9.43/145.63 beat Bill Lawton's 9.47/143 but despite improving to 9.37/147 in the semifinal, he lost to Paul Blevins' 9.31/148. Shortly after that (May 20), he won the second NHRA Division One race held at Cayuga, Ontario. He set Low ET there at 9.41, and in the final, his 9.48/142.18 beat Ron Hutter's slightly quicker 9.47/142. Early in June, Ray was at Maple Grove for the USRT event. It was a sixteen-car field, and in round one, he fouled against Ken Dondero. He was the third alternate at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 9.55. Shortly after that, he was at Englishtown for an eight-car show. All cars were to make three runs. In Allen's first race, his 9.27/147.78 lost to Herb McCandless' 9.16/149. He also lost his second race, where a 9.30/147.05 fell to Mike Fons' 9.17/135. In his last race, he scored a 9.20/147.78, beating Frank Russo's 9.38/149. His next stop was at Cecil County for the All-American Pro Stock Championships. It was an eight-car show, and in the first round, his 9.36/144.23 beat Rob Campbell's 9.42/141. But in the semifinal, his 9.51/131.57 lost to the race's eventual winner Ed Schartman, who advanced at 9.12/146. Near the end of June, he was at Maple Grove for the USRT event. He was not a regular on the circuit, but rain postponed the race from a Wednesday to Thursday. Three cars were unable to stay the extra day, so Allen filled in for one. He lost in the first round, to Ken Dondero, who was driving one of "Dyno Don" Nicholson's Pinto's. But Ray later came back out to run in a consolation race where he beat Dave Kanners' 9.34/143 with a 9.31/145.86. Ray qualified #25 at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals with a 9.41. He beat Sonny Bryant in the opening round of eliminations, and in round two, his 9.31 beat Bobby Yowell's quicker, 9.29. But in round three, his 9.30 fell to Melvin Yow's 9.14. Ray ran 9.401/135.39 for the 32nd qualifying spot at NHRA Indianapolis on 9/01/73. He got into the field as the defending champion.

Notes: Strickler was at Lakeland on March 3 for the IHRA Winternationals. He qualified #11 and lost in the opening round, where his 9.67/140 lost to Ronnie Sox's 9.31/145. In April, he was at Suffolk for an eight-car show. A 9.47 qualified #3, and in round one, his 9.43 beat Carlos Sandoval who had missed a shift. Frank Iaconio smoked the tires in the semifinal against him, and Stricker ran 9.87 to advance. He was to face Rich Mirarcki in the final. The final was never run as it was rained out. Shortly after that (April 15), he was at Cecil County for its National Open. It was another eight-car field, and he qualified #3 with a 9.33. He soloed with a 9.47/142.88 in the opening round when Dutch Irrgang's Vega broke. In the semifinal, his 9.37 lost to Paul Blevins' 9.19. On May 6, he was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. He had the quickest Chevy qualifier with his career-best (to this point) 9.37 getting the #13 spot in the show. In the first round, his late 9.37/145.39 lost to Stuart McDade's 9.41/145. Dave was at Muncie on May 20 for the IHRA Northern Nationals. He qualified #5 with a 9.56 and lasted until the semifinals before his 9.35/145.39 lost to eventual winner Don Carlton's 9.04/152. He was at Maple Grove in June for the USRT event. In the first round, his 9.39/144 beat Wally Booth's 9.51/142. A even better 9.30/144.69 lost to a quick-leaving Ken Dondero at 9.31/144, who was driving one of "Dyno Don" Nicholson's Pintos. He was the strongest Chevy qualifier at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. His 9.43 got him the #6 spot in the sixteen-car field. Strickler lasted until round two before eventual winner Carlton beat him. The next USRT event was in Minnesota in July. Dave beat Mirarcki in the first round, and in round two, his 9.30 beat Wally Booth's 9.52. In the semifinal, a 9.30 defeated Wayne Gapp's 9.54. He went up against "Dyno Don" Nicholson in the final. The two had a great race saw saw "Dyno's" 9.26/145.16 beat Strickler's 9.27/145.16. The next USRT event was held at Cayuga, Ontario. Ford's had won the first two USRT races, but this one belonged to Strickler. Dave's 9.31/145.16 beat Booth in the opening round. In round two, his 9.36 took out Ed Schartman. He got a big win over Ronnie Sox in the semifinal, where his 9.22/147.50 beat Sox's quicker 9.17/148. He faced the always tough Herb McCandless's formidable Dodge in the final. Dave cut another excellent light with his 9.22/145.39 winning over Herb's 9.19/149. Surprisingly, he did not race at the NHRA Summernationals, but he did race at the Super Stock Nationals near the end of the month (July 28). He qualified #8 for the sixteen-car field with a 9.35/144.54. Dave improved to 9.31/144 in the first round, to beat Carl Ruth's 9.69/141. In round two, Melvin Yow fouled away a 9.22/148 against him, advancing Stricker's 9.36/143 into the semifinal. There, Dave fouled away a 9.38/143.54 against the eventual winner Paul Blevins. The following day, he was in Connecticut for an eight-car show. The race was run with all the cars making two runs, and the two drivers with the most wins would meet in the final. Dave's 9.33/145.39 beat Ray Allen's quicker 9.30/146 in his first race. In his second race, he beat Gapp's 9.42/146 with a 9.38/143.54. This put him into the final against "Dyno Don." Nicholson was running 9.1's with ease, and in the final, he set Low ET with a 9.09/147 that topped Strickler's 9.34/143.54. As the season progressed, Dave's little Vega became more and more of a threat as it was running strong. On August 8, he was at Englishtown for the USRT event. It was a sixteen-car field with all the "big Name" drivers. In the opening round of eliminations, Dave's 9.26/145.63 beat Dave Kanners' 9.44/143. In round two, he ran 9.20/145.39 to beat Mike Fons' 9.27/148. He ran McCandless in the semifinals, and his 9.27/144.92 lost to the Dodge's 9.12/148. He then won over an eight-car field at Maple Grove. A 9.48/144 in the opening round had beaten Clyde Cheek's 9.55/142. In the semifinal, he quickened his pace to 9.29/144.92 in defeating John Healy's 9.50/142. He faced Ruth in the final, who was also driving an SRD-built Vega in the final. The cars may have looked alike, but they didn't run the same as Dave set Low ET with a 9.22/144.92 while winning over Carl's 9.69/141. Dave ran 145.16 at PRA Tulsa OK 9/73.

Notes: No one expected Chevy man Wally Booth to be behind the wheel of an AMC in '72. The car was built using the stock frame rails tied together with square tubing. It used Pinto rack and pinion steering as well as a Dana rear with 5.57 gears. A very rare A/FX Ford aluminum radiator was also used. The engines were built by Dick Arons and Booth and displaced between 340 and 350 cubic inches. The transmission was a four-speed Borg-Warner Super T-10. | Wally opened many people's eyes when he won the NHRA Division 3 Opener at Indianapolis on April 30. Some big names were in the field, such as Mike Fons and Arlen Vanke, who qualified one-two. Booth’s final round times were 9.82/135.73. He was at Capitol for the USRT race, where he ran a 9.90 to qualify #10. Unfortunately, an opening-round 9.92/137.49 lost to Ken Dondero driving Don Nicholson's Maverick. At the second NHRA Division 3 race held at National Trail, he again reached the final, but this time had to settle for runner-up honors as Vanke's 10.09 beat his off pace 10.49. Early in June, he ran at the IHRA Longhorn Nationals at Dallas. Wally’s 9.73 qualified #8, and in round one, his 9.82/137 beat Clester Andrews. He lucked out in round two as Butch Leal had transmission trouble and was unable to run. Booth singled with a 9.76. He ran a strong 9.74/137.00 in the semifinals, but it wasn't enough to stop Ronnie Sox's 9.61/142. A week later, he was back at National Trail for the NHRA Springnationals. The little Gremlin qualified #8 with a 9.81, but it fell off to a 10.03/138.24 in the first round, losing to Carmen Rotonda's 9.82/139. By July, the car was getting much stronger, as shown by the following races. At the USRT race held at York US 30, Wally qualified with a 9.61/140.84. He improved to 9.60 at 140.18 in the first round, but lost to Don Grotheer's 9.48/146. The USRT cars ran at NHRA legal weight, but they allowed the use of rosin. He didn't run that well at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, where he qualified #17 and his 9.82/136.77 lost to eventual winner Bill Jenkins' 9.40/144 in round one. A few days later, he was at Atco for another USRT race. He didn't get far in eliminations, but he qualified with a 9.62/140.62. Milan hosted four Pro Stock cars late in the month, and Booth broke into the 9.50s with a 9.57 beating Wayne Gapp's 9.85 in the first race. He ran another 9.57 in his second race but lost to Nicholson, who laid a holeshot on him and beat him with a slower 9.62. Wally’s 9.60/140 lost to Stuart McDade's 9.48/144 in Billy Stepp's car in the final race. He closed out the month with a runner-up finish to Fons at the fourth NHRA Division 3 race at Tri-City. August started with Booth competing at the NHRA Grandnationals in Canada. He qualified #5 in the sixteen-car show with a 9.75. His 9.79/135.13 beat James Cook in the first round, but his second round, 9.82/135.74 lost to Jenkins' 9.42/144. Jenkins would go on to win again. Booth was getting a bit of a following by the time Indy came around for the NHRA US Nationals. Everyone wanted to see the "underdog" do well. At Indy, Booth's 9.76/137.85 qualified #11 for the 32 car field. He lost in the inter-brand rivalry with Rich Maskin, who qualified two spots ahead of him, but Wally lost to Lary Huff in the first round. He then went to Oxford Plains for a scheduled match race against Don Carlton. Don could not show, so Ken Dondero in "Dyno Don's" SOHC Maverick was called in as a last-minute replacement. The "dinosaur" beat the little Gremlin two straight. | Wally also qualified at Indy 1972 with a 9.766/137.65. He qualified the Gremlin #8 at NHRA Ontario with a 9.597/138.67, his best NHRA national event times of 1972. Wally had two shut-off runs in eliminations; the first beat a broken Gordon Collett, but the second lost to Bob Glidden’s 9.73. Formerly listed 9.525/141.95. We need validation of those runs.

Notes: Wally started the season in a 1970 Camaro (according to NHRA qualifying lists). We need to confirm - Pomona and Gators. Came out with the 1969 car at NHRA Englishtown, according to our records. Finished runner-up to Ronnie Sox at Pomona and lost to Sox in the semis at Gainesville. Also ran 9.96 at IHRA Bristol in the 70 car. | On May 9, he was at the Super Stock Magazine Nationals. He ran an opening round 10.03 to beat Sam Auxier's 10.26, but the Camaro broke and could not return for round two. Late in May, Booth was at Englishtown for a best of three match race against Dick Landy. In their first race, Landy's 9.93/142.40 beat Wally's track record 9.92 at 139.96. In the second race, Dick crossed the centerline, and Booth evened the score with a winning 10.69/124.82. Landy's Challenger had broken a rear spring and could not compete in the last race, so Wally ran a local car and turned 9.95/140.18 to win the match. At Bristol'for the IHRA Springnationals, Booth lost to Don Carlton in the first round.

Notes: Frank Iaconio and Ray Allen debuted their new Monza at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. Ray was supposed to drive, but did not have his license renewed. So, Frank drove and continued to drive. He qualified #15 at 9.003/151.77, and in the opening round, his 8.985/152.26 lost to Richie Zul's 8.929/152.54. It didn't take long before the car became a contender. At Indy, for the NHRA US Nationals, an 8.814/153.58 qualified #6. Frank ran 8.804/152.02 to beat Bob Ingles at 8.88/151 in round one. He ran 8.821/153.06 to beat Roy Hill's 8.90/152 in round two. Frank’s best run came next with an 8.791/154.10 over Joe Satmary's 8.86/152 in the semifinals. He faced the AMC Hornet of Wally Booth in the final. Booth's winning semifinal ET was 8.69, so Frank took a chance on the 'tree. He fouled away an 8.815/145.86 while Booth picked up the victory with an 8.68/155. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the year.

Notes: The "other" AMC car. The '73 season ended positively for the Dick Maskin and Dave Kanners team. Kanners had made it into the semifinals at the NHRA Supernationals with their Hornet giving AMC its best outing in the Pro Stock class. The '74 season would see the team do very well at national events. NHRA refactored the cars to 6.45 lbs, which would also help as they shed a few pounds. It started at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals, where Dave qualified #7 with a 9.09 in the sixteen-car field. A 9.06/148.76 in round one, beat Gordie Rivera. In round two, Kanners ran his best time of the weekend, a 9.03/149.25, but it wasn't enough to beat Wayne Gapp's 8.94/152. Things didn't go as well at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where a 9.10/149.75 qualified in the dreaded #9 spot. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Bob Glidden that saw Kanners' off pace 9.24/148.27 lose to Bob's 9.04/152. It was ironic that just before the NHRA Gatornationals, both the AMC teams of Wally Booth and the Maskin and Kanners team were released from their contracts. That all changed after the Gatornats as Booth took the win, giving AMC its first NHRA Pro Stock victory. Kanners also ran well there. He qualified #7 with a 9.07/150.75. In the first round, his 9.00/151.15 beat Bert Straus' 9.11/149. Unfortunately, the two AMC's paired up in the next round, and Booth's 9.01/152 beat Kanners' 9.05/150.75. He won over an eight-car field at Englishtown's Pro Stock Bonanza race in April. All cars were run at 6.50 lbs per cubic inch, so Dave actually had to add weight. In round one, his 9.15/148.76 beat Scott Shafiroff's 9.23/147. In the semifinal, he had a great race that saw his 8.96/151.26 beat Bill Jenkins' 9.03/148. He turned into a Vega killer in the final, as he beat his third one with an 8.95/150.50 that got the victory over Paul Blevins' 8.98/152. At the NHRA Springnationals, both AMC's qualified in the top four positions, with Booth getting the pole at 9.06/150 while Kanners qualified #4 with a 9.10/150.25. Dave fell off to 9.23/148.02 in the first round, but it was still enough to get around Kelly Chadwick's 9.31/144. But another 9.23 at 147.79 in round two lost to Joe Satmary's quick-leaving 9.30/147. He was at Maple Grove for the All-American Pro-Series Opener, where he beat Mark Harrington driving the MIMI Vega in the first round, with a 9.23. In the second round, he advanced when Glidden fouled, but the AMC dropped a valve on his run, and he was unable to run in the semifinals, so Dick Landy replaced him via the "break rule."Shortly after that (June 23), he was at Thunder Valley for the NHRA Division Five opener. He qualified #1 with a 9.16/148.27 (a new track record). in the opening round, his 9.24/149.50 (speed was also a new track record) defeated Jim Cooper. In the semifinal, his 9.21/148.27 beat Bill McDaniel's Pinto. He faced Kelly Chadwick in the final. Kelly was running two tenths off the AMC's pace, and it stayed that way in the final, where Dave ran 9.19/148.76 for the victory over Chadwick's 9.42/146. The following week (June 30), he reset the NHRA 1/8 mile record to 5.82 while winning the NHRA 1/8 Mile Drags at Indiana. There he qualified #1 at 5.92. He then ran 5.82 twice and set Top Speed at 120.00 before beating Preston Honea, who fouled against him in the final. The next NHRA national event was the Summernationals held at Englishtown in July. The two AMC cars qualified side by side, with Booth getting the #6 spot and Kanners qualifying #7 with a 9.05/150. A 9.23/148.02 beat Bert Straus' 9.38/147 in round one, and a second-round 9.31 beat John Lingenfelter's 9.39. But his 9.30 in the semifinal fell to eventual winner Larry Lombardo's 9.14 in Bill Jenkins' Vega. The NHRA Grandnationals did not go well for the team. Dave's 9.09 qualified #10, which set up a first-round meeting between the two Hornets. Dave's 9.17 in their race lost to Booth's 9.06. More bad luck interfered at the PHR Championships. Kanners qualified #7 in the sixteen-car field with a 9.06, but he broke against Bill Robertson in the opening round. Ran 9.10 at Pomona, 9.00 at Gainesville, 9.10 at Columbus, 9.06 at Englishtown, and 9.01 at Ontario.

Notes: Scott won the IHRA Spring Nationals at Bristol with a best of 8.90 at 150.25. Went through eliminations with a cracked block. He defeated Phil Nichols, Wayne Gapp, Lee Edwards, and finally Larry Huff in the final with an 8.99/150.25. Scott ran 8.94 at NHRA Englishtown 1975. He was runner-up to a Don Nicholson holeshot at IHRA Union Grove, 9.01/149.00 to Scott's 8.98/150.50. Runner up at Maryland International Raceway US Pro Stock Open 7/75. | Scott Shafiroff made a huge leap from running a strong Chevy Pro Stock Vega in '74 to switching to this Ford Mustang II for '75. After the season he had, it seemed like he made the right choice. Right off the bat, the car was a contender. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he qualified #7 with a 9.00/151.51. An opening round 9.01/150 beat Kenny Hahn's Duster at 9.18/148, but he lost to Bill Jenkins in round two. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he picked up even more on the pack running an 8.90 to qualify #5. But Shafiroff attempted to run an even better number to move up the chart, but the rear end tore out from the car while making his burnout. First alternate Bobby Yowell took his place in the field. After getting the car repaired, Scott ran the Mustang II, which was 50 lbs lighter than NHRA's weight, and ran an impressive 8.70. Scott was anxious to get back into competition. In April, he was at Cecil County's National Open where the car set both Low ET and Top Speed, but broke before eliminations. Things finally clicked his way at the NHRA Division 1 race at Englishtown. There, he won with a final round of 8.88/153.06. Shafiroff did a lot of match racing with the car and was very successful with it. At the NHRA Springnationals, 34 cars attempted to qualify for the sixteen-car field, and Scott's 9.02/151.26 qualified #5. He was late off the line in the first round, and his 9.11/147.29 lost to Warren Johnson's 9.18/148. Shortly after, he won over an eight-car field at Empire Dragway in New York. He set Low ET in the final with a 9.02 over Ronnie Manchester's 9.19. His biggest win of the year came at the IHRA Springnationals at Bristol. He ran 8.98, 8.99, and 8.99 over a fouling Lee Edwards in the semifinals to reach the final against Larry Huff. Larry knew that Scott was running with a wounded motor, but he also saw that he was still running a tenth faster than his Dodge. So, Huff took a chance on the 'tree and fouled while Scott ran yet another 8.99 at 150 for his first IHRA national event win. He also made it two in a row in IHRA competition when he reached the final at the IHRA Summernationals at Union Grove, but his final round 9.01 finished runner-up to "Dyno Don" Nicholson's 8.98 in an all-Ford final. The car kept improving at the NHRA national events, and at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, Shafiroff's 8.94/153.58 was now up to #3 on the qualifying list. His speed was also tops among the qualifiers. Scott looked strong in eliminations. An opening round 8.96/153.84 advanced when Sam Gianino fouled, and in round two, he beat Charlie Castaldo with an 8.95/154.63. He went up against Jenkins in the semifinals, and the car let him down, breaking on the pass and slowing to a 10.14/99.55 loss against Jenkins' 8.94/152. His next stop was at the US Pro Stock Open held at Budds Creek. Once again, the Mustang II was flying. He ran 8.96, 8.93, and 8.99 in the semifinals over a fouling Richie Zul. His final-round opponent was Roy Hill in his Duster. Roy had not been running quite as well as Scott had, hitting a best of 8.98 in eliminations, but a final round 8.97/151 beat Scott's 8.99/150.25 for the win. Photo from the 1975 NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Florida. Scott is in the photo wearing the brown coat standing behind the car.

Notes: AKA Gambler. Ran 8.670 twice at the Summernationals. In round one, he upset Lee Shepherd, 8.67/157.34 to 8.76, before losing to a Wally Booth holeshot in round two, 8.73 to 8.67. Ran 157.61 at Indy, where the team went two rounds. I think Mark was back in his and Brad's car by Seattle. Won Division 7 event at Sacramento on a holeshot over Kevin Rotty, 8.69/154.11 to 8.67/155.18.

Notes: After crashing at Gainesville, Andy joined Dick Maskin in this AMC Hornet entry. On June 4, Andy was at Indianapolis for the NHRA Division Three race. His 8.84/152.02 qualified #4 in the eight-car field, and an opening-round 8.97/150.25 advanced over a fouling John Frech. In the semifinal, Joe Satmary also fouled against him, and he ran a 9.62/108.17 to move into the final. His final-round opponent was low qualifier Bob Glidden, who was running 8.6's with ease. Andy fouled in the final, shutting down to 19.26/38.07, while Glidden ran 8.71/140 for the victory. A week later, he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He was the slower of the two AMC cars that qualified as his 8.800/153.84 gave him the #12 spot in the show. Unfortunately, that set up a first-round meeting with Glidden that saw Andy's 8.89/152.80 lose to Bob's 8.73/151. Both AMCs qualified in the top half of the eight-car field at NHRA's Division Three race held at Martin, Michigan, on June 24. Andy's 8.84/153.32 got the #4 spot. He opened eliminations with an 8.81/151.26 that beat Harold Martin's 9.69/140, and in the semifinals, he faced the similar Hornet entry of Wally Booth. Wally's car was much stronger on this day as his 8.75/154 easily got the measure of Mannarino's 8.98/150.50. Early in July, he was at Edgewater for the next NHRA Division Three race. He qualified #4 at 8.94 and looked to have an easy first-round match against Dave Avery, but the Hornet broke, and Dave got to solo into round two. Andy qualified #8 at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals with an 8.76/153.80. An opening Round 10.25/115 advanced when Ronnie Manchester broke. In round two, his 8.79/153.06 lost to Larry Lombardo's 8.64/156 in Bill Jenkins' Monza. He then went to Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. An 8.77 qualified #4 and an opening-round 8.81/141.06 beat Frank Parker. In round two, his 8.80/154.37 beat Dempsey Hardy's 8.93/148, but in the semifinals, Lombardo stopped him once again. Andy's 8.91/155.17 lost to Larry's 8.82/152. At Indy, for the NHRA US Nationals, Andy's 8.78/154.63 qualified #15. He coasted to a 12-second pass to beat a fouling Kevin Rotty in the opening round, but a second-round 8.823/153.06 fell to Frank Iaconio's 8.71/155. Andy qualified #6 at Seattle for the Fallnationals at 8.697/154.37. He beat Mike Rendel in round one, 8.69/154.63 to 8.96/150. Frank Iaconio got him again in round two, 8.53/156 to 8.67/154.37. Andy wrapped up the year with a #9 qualifying effort at Ontario, 8.770/156.25. But that meant meeting Bob Glidden in round one, a race Bob won, 8.61/153 to 8.789/154.37.

Notes: Ken ran an 8.98 to qualify #5 at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. In the first round, a 9.08/152.02 beat Tim McNally's 10.25/128. A second round 9.10/152.54 lost to eventual winner Bob Glidden's 8.91/152. Ken then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he again ran an 8.98 (152.02) in qualifying. That number was good for the #4 spot in the field. He slowed to a 9.31/148.02 in the first round, that lost to Scott Shafiroff's 9.18/150.

Notes: Also ran 8.97/150.75 in reaching the semis at IHRA Bristol June 1975. | At the IHRA Winternationals at Miami-Hollywood, Hill qualified #5 in the eight-car field, setting up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Bob Glidden, which he lost. Roy was at Gainesville in March for the NHRA Gatornationals. He was curious to see what NHRA's new 7.10 lb. weight break for the Hemi-powered cars would do for his performance. He ran 8.999 to qualify #12. Five Mopars made the field, but none were able to crack the top eight spots in qualifying. Hill's 9.02 in the first round, lost to Dave Kanners' Hornet at 8.98. The Pro Stock Open was run at Southeastern's 900-foot track in April. Roy did really well, running an opening round 7.51 over Billy Ewing and a semifinal 7.56 that narrowly beat Hubert Platt's 7.57. It was an all-Mopar final as he went up against Reid Whisnant for the title. Reid had been running a bit quicker on this day, and his final round 7.45 gave Hill's 7.60 the runner-up spot. He was at Rockingham in May for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Hill ran 9.13 in the first round, to beat Ronnie Sox, and in round two, he soloed with an 8.92 when Lamar Walden broke in the Barry Setzer Vega. His run ended in the semifinals, where his 8.88/150.00 lost to Glidden's identical 8.88 at 152. Roy did get the Top Speed of the meet at 154.37. Roy was at Suffolk for the NHRA Division 2 race, and while he qualified for the eight-car field, he failed to reach the finals. He qualified on the "bump" at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 9.15/149.50. Another 9.15/149.50 in the first round, beat Don Nicholson's late 9.05/149. In round two, he faced Glidden. Bob had problems and ran an off-pace 9.34 while Roy advanced with a 9.13. He had a bit more luck on his side in the semifinals when Richie Zul fouled away a 9.09, and Hill's 9.12 got the win light. This put him into the final against Bill Jenkins. Roy's 9.16/149.75 finished runner-up to Bill's 8.98/152. At Bristol, for the IHRA Springnationals, he ran 9.01 to qualify #5 in the sixteen-car show, but once again, he failed to reach the finals. On July 13, he was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. He qualified in the unlucky #9 spot with a 9.04/151.51, setting up a first-round meeting with Wayne Gapp's low qualified 4-door Maverick. Hill tried hard in their match, but his 8.990/152.54 finished behind Gapp's 8.96/152. After Englishtown, most Pro Stock racers made a stop at Maryland International for the US Pro Stock Open on July 18. It was a sixteen-car field, and Hill won the show. He started with a 9.03 over Carl Hobson, and in round two, he ran 8.98 while losing to Richie Zul's 8.94. But he got back in on the "break rule" as Low ET loser from the previous round when Jenkins broke and could not run in the semifinals. Roy made the best of his second chance by beating Nicholson's 8.97 in the semifinals with a quick-leaving 9.03. He made his best run of eliminations in the final, where an 8.97/151.76 got him the victory over Scott Shafiroff's 8.99/150. Roy got a runner-up finish at the IHRA Nationals at Dragway 42 in August. He qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 9.01/153.58 and then beat Tim Lysikowski in the first round, with a 9.12/153.58. A 9.06 in the semifinals beat Larry Huff's quicker 8.94. This put Hill into the final against Nicholson. The two had a close race, but "Dyno's" 9.00/154 prevailed over Roy's 9.04/153.84. | Roy ran at Southeastern Dragway in April at an eight-car show. He ran at least as quick as 7.56 at the 1000 foot track. | Best NHRA national event times were the 8.990/152.54 in round one, at Englishtown.

Notes: Andy qualified #5 at the NHRA Gatornationals with an 8.46/158.72. He fell off to 8.57/155.70 in the first round, and lost to Bob Ingles' 8.54/159. The NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta had only eight-car Pro fields and Mannarino's best of 8.62 was good for the second alternate. He was at Englishtown on May 3rd for the NHRA Eastern Regional where he made it into the final before losing to Frank Iaconio's 8.39/164 with an 8.48/159.01. Andy also made it to the final at the NHRA Cajun Nationals. There he qualified #4 in the eight-car field and in round one, he out drove Dave Hutchens by beating Dave's 8.63/155 with an 8.66/161.00. In the semifinals, both he and Iaconio ran 8.57, but Andy got the win light. In the final he faced Bob Glidden and Glidden's 8.46 got the victory over Mannarino's 8.51. At the NHRA Springnationals, he continued to qualify strong, an 8.58/157.89 got him the #5 spot in the field. A first-round 8.57/154.37 beat John Hagen's 8.72/157, but in round two his 8.70/156.79 lost to Lee Shepherd's 8.51/158. The thin air of Denver gave the team some trouble at the NHRA Mile High Nationals, still a 9.20/146.34 qualified #5 for the eight-car show, but he faced low qualifier and eventual winner Shepherd in the first round, where Andy's 9.31/148.02 lost to Lee's 9.03/149. He was at Indianapolis for the third NHRA Eastern Regional race where he qualified #6 in another eight-car show. He got a lot of publicity for beating Glidden in the first round, with an 8.59/155.97 that stopped the Ford ace's 8.64/158. Unfortunately, he fell to a holeshot by Dave Hutchens in the semifinals where Dave's 8.71/158 beat Andy's quicker 8.66/156.25. The "M&M Boys" didn't qualify so well at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. Mannarino's best of 8.54/157.36 qualified #10 and set up a first-round pairing with #2 qualifier Pat Musi. Andy was up to the task in their match, getting out first and running 8.66 to beat Musi's 8.74. In the second round, Andy fouled against Hutchens. As most Pro Stock drivers at the time, the next stop was at Maryland for the US Pro Stock Open. It was a sixteen-car show, but in the first round, Bob Harris upset Mannarino. The following week (July 26), he faced Sam Gianino for a best of three mach race at Central Michigan Dragway. Andy won all three races, hitting 8.69 twice with a best speed of 159.

Notes: The best NHRA times were 9.290/147.29 in a first-round loss to Reid Whisnant's 9.21 at the 1973 Gatornationals. Ronnie was at Rockingham early in May for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. His 9.23 qualified #7 in the sixteen-car field, and in the opening round, he got a solo run when Harold Clark blew an engine on his burnout. Lyles ran 9.44/145.86 to advance. A second-round 9.28/146.57 beat Roy Hill's 9.37/141, but in the semifinal, he fouled on a 9.22 run against eventual winner Don Carlton, who ran 8.99. Shortly after that, Lyles was at Maple Grove for its annual Dutch Classic race. He qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 9.40, and in round one, his 9.25/146.34 (Low ET and Top Speed) beat Bruce Larson. In the semifinal, his opponent, Bill Lawton, fouled. But shortly after leaving the line, a rod let go in the Duster, and he could not run in the final. He was back at Maple Grove for the USRT event. It was a sixteen-car field, and in the opening round, his 9.41/144.69 fell to Herb McCandless' 9.39/146. He then went to Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals but failed to qualify. Things went much better at Blaney for the third NHRA Division Two race. He first ran 9.45/145.16 to beat Jim Rodriquez. A second-round 9.47/144 took out William Paris, and a 9.41/144.23 stopped Oscar Roberts in the semifinal. He lined up against Melvin Yow in the final. Yow's transmission let go, so Lyles' 9.41/144.92 scored the victory.

Notes: On May 6, Zul was at Englishtown for the NHRA Division One opener. He qualified #3 in the eight-car field with a 9.26/147.23. In the opening round of eliminations, his 9.33/146.57 defeated Jeg Coughlin's 9.49/141. In the semifinal, his 9.36/146.10 fell to Levi Holmes' identical 9.36/146. Shortly after that (May 13), he was at Maple Grove for the Dutch Classic. It was another eight-car field, and his 9.39 qualified #2 behind Carmen Rotonda's 9.36. But he failed to show for his first-round race against Bill Lawton. He was unable to qualify at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Richie qualified #18 at the Summernationals at 9.359/144.43, and then the car was stolen during the race. He replaced the car with the Jenkins Camaro but did not race any other NHRA national events in 1973.
