Notes: Also, 9.65 at Portland 72 and 9.64 at Irwindale. | Bill probably had his best season in '72. The season for him started at the first OCIR All-Pro race. It was an eight-car field, and he qualified #5. That set up a first-round meeting with the low qualifier, "Dyno Don" Nicholson, who had set a 9.44 track record. Bad luck was on Bill's side as the Maverick's shifter linkage broke and Bagshaw's 9.84/141.06 advanced. But in the semifinals, Bagshaw broke a rear end and had to watch as his opponent, Bob Lambeck, soloed into the final. He was at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals, where his 9.79 qualified #8 in the sixteen-car field. Bill beat Carmen Rotunda and Bobby Yowell before running alternate Lynn Harrison in the semifinals. A 9.99 dispatched the Camaro and moved Bagshaw into the final against Butch Leal. Bill tried hard in the final, but his 9.75/141.06 was no match against Leal's winning 9.66/143. At the second OCIR All-Pro race, he ran well lasting until the semifinal of the eight-car show. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #9 in the 32 car field. He lasted until the second round, where his 9.85 lost to eventual winner Bill Jenkins' 9.62. The following week (February 13), Bagshaw was at OCIR for the third All-Pro race. A first-round 9.80 beat Sonny Bryant, but in the semifinals, his 9.75/141.73 lost to Leal's 9.70/143. His next stop was at Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet. There he lasted until the semifinals, where he fouled against Bob Lambeck. At the AHRA Northern Nationals at Fremont, Bagshaw was running well. A second-round 9.68/143.54 beat Harrison, but he broke a driveshaft against Lambeck in the semifinals. He won the NHRA Division 7 Opener, stopping Leal in the final. Bill was at Sacramento on June 24 for the NHRA Division Seven race. While he didn't reach the final, he was the low qualifier for the eight-car field with his 9.59. He got another win on July 8th at the NHRA Division Seven race held at Lions. He faced Leal in the final, and Butch fouled away a 9.67/143 while Bagshaw ran 9.66/141.28 for the victory.9.79 NHRA Pomona CA 2/72.

Notes: Qualified at Indy 1972 with a 9.734 then went quicker during eliminations. | Shortly after taking over the driving duties of Dyno’s Maverick, Dondero went to Fremont for the AHRA Northern Nationals. He qualified #1 with a 9.44 and picked up to a first-round 9.43/145.63. In the semifinals, he ran another strong 9.46/145.39, but lost to Butch Leal's track record 9.40 at 146. Ken qualified #2 with a 9.461/144.69 at the Gatornationals. A first-round 9.51/143.08 beat Bobby Yowell's 9.71/141. In round two, a 9.57 beat Stuart McDade's 9.65. But in the semifinals, a 9.54/143.31 lost to Don Carlton's 9.55/143. He stopped off at Englishtown for an eight-car show, but after beating Carmen Rotonda in the first round, with a 9.66/142.63 it rained and the race was called off. He failed to qualify at the NHRA Springnationals. At the USRT race at Capitol Raceway, Dondero qualified #6 with a 9.55. He ran a best of 9.52/144.95 before losing in round two. He ran a 9.58/142.85 best at the Super Stock Nationals, but lost early. A 9.62 qualified Ken #6 at the IHRA Summernationals and another 9.60 got him through round one, but he lost to his boss Don Nicholson in round two.

Shortly after that, he was at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. Bobby had the quickest Mopar at 9.83/140.45. That qualified him #16 in the 32 car field. A 9.82 in round one, beat Jim Liebham, but a second 9.82 in round two fell to Rich Mirarcki's 9.74. A couple of weeks later (September 18), he was at Rockingham for the IHRA US Open. A strong 9.46 qualified #4 behind Ronnie Sox, Don Carlton, and Eddie Schartman. He beat Eddie Ratliff in the opening round with a 9.50/146.34, and in round two, Harold Denton fouled against him.

Notes: Grotheer was one of the top Mopar performers in Pro Stock during the first three years of the class. He started the '72 season at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. A 9.78 qualified #7, and he beat Melvin Yow in the first round. But in round two, a strange thing happened. Grotheer was to race Ronnie Sox, and Don's car died on the line. But then Sox fouled. So, both cars were disqualified from further competition. Don then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #4 in the 32 car field, and in the opening round, his 9.66 beat alternate Monty Mantovan. His 9.74 beat Wayne Gapp's Maverick in round two, and a third-round 9.93 topped Reid Whisnant's quicker 9.82. He beat Arlen Vanke in the semifinals by a tenth with his 9.79 putting Vanke's 9.89 out of the show. That set up a final-round meeting with Bill Jenkins' new Vega. Bill had only qualified with a 9.90, but he had picked up to 9.60s in eliminations with a best of 9.62, and in his semifinal race, he had taken out Don Carlton driving the "Motown Missile" with a 9.68. So, Jenkins was the favorite. Sure enough, Grotheer slowed to a 9.82/141.95 in the final that lost to Bill's 9.68/140. Still, Grotheer had the satisfaction of finishing first in class among the Mopars. His next big race was the IHRA Winternationals at Lakeland. He ran 9.68/144.46 to qualify #3 in the sixteen-car field, but he fouled against Max Hurley in the first round. In April, he ran at the first USRT event at Phoenix. He qualified #7 and was runner-up to Dick Landy for the third-place honors. He won the NHRA Division 4 Opener at Laplace on April 16. Grotheer set Low ET for the event in qualifying #1 with a 9.65. In the final, his 9.68/141.73 beat Charles Lamarr. He was at Capitol Raceway for another USRT event where his 9.49 qualified #4. He raced for the second place honors by beating Vanke's 9.62/142 with a 9.65/143. In the final, he fouled away a 9.61 against Ken Dondero, who won, driving Don Nicholson's Maverick to 9.52/143 for the win. He also won the second NHRA Division 4 race at Southland Dragway on May 28. At Columbus, for the NHRA Springnationals, Don didn't qualify so well as he only got the #10 spot in the sixteen-car field. But during eliminations, things fell into place. In the first round, Carlton broke on the line; Stuart McDade broke in Billy Stepp's car in the second round, and Don advanced with a 9.74. In the semifinals, a slight holeshot, coupled with a 9.80 beat Landy's 9.79. Grotheer found himself in another final round against "Grumpy" Jenkins. The results were the same as Bill's 9.67/143 easily won over Don's 9.79/141.95. Of course, he won the third NHRA Division 4 race at Lubbock. He was at York US 30 for the USRT event in July. In the qualifying round, Don's 9.55/146.10 (Top Speed) beat Dondero's 9.58/142. He was fighting for the second place honors, and to reach the final, he ran 9.48/146.10 over Wally Booth's 9.60/140 AMC effort. In the final, his 9.54/145.63 finished runner-up to Mike Fons' 9.36/145. His next stop was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. It was a 32 car show and is 9.70 qualified #8. He beat Rich Maskin in the opening round and a 9.71 in round two, beat Jerry Miller's 9.84. Round three saw his 9.72 take out Bob Lambeck at 9.81. He faced Landy in the semifinals, and his 9.72/142.85 lost to Dick's 9.68/142. A couple of days later(July 19), he was at Atco for the USRT race. He qualified for the second group with a 9.64/143.54. He went on to win the second place honors by running 9.52/144.46 in the final. In August, he won the fourth NHRA Division 4 race held at Albuquerque. He qualified #1 and, in the final, set Low ET and Top Speed with a 10.35/135.13 over Irv Beringhaus 10.40. | Don won the NHRA Division 4 title in 1972. Also ran 9.65 at LaPlace and 9.549 at Tulsa PRA National Challenge.

Notes: Every Ford Pro Stock driver dropped their big block (either Boss 429 or SOHC powered) Mavericks and jumped on the small-block (351) Pinto bandwagon for '73. All except "Fast Eddie" Schartman. He had been one of the most successful Funny Car pilots in '67-'68, but his early years in Pro Stock did not get him the success he was used to. He ran the Boss 429 engine from the start in Pro Stock, first in a Cougar and then in a series of Comets/Mavericks. The '70-'71 seasons were not the greatest for him, but by '72 he was really starting to make some progress. So, he decided to run this combination again for '73. And it paid off. He beat some "name" drivers with this car which by all accounts was a dinosaur to everyone else.

Notes: Ran 8.90/153.84 at Englishtown, 8.99/153.06 at Indy, 154.10 National Record at Pomona Winters, 8.83/154.90 National Records at Beech Bend WCS, and 8.811 National Record at 74 World Finals (at 154.63). Ran 154.37 at Sanair. | Bob started the '74 season the right way, by winning the AHRA Winternationals at Beeline in January He qualified #1 with an 8.89/154.90 (speed was tops for the race and a new AHRA record), and in the first round, beat Joe Satmary with an even quicker 8.88/153.58. In the second round, his 8.91/152.80 beat Ken Dondero's 9.10/152 in Don Nicholson's Pinto. In the semifinals, Bob's 8.94/153.84 beat Wayne Gapp's 9.03/151. In the final, he met up with Bill Jenkins in his Vega. Glidden got the holeshot and his 8.93/152.08 beat Jenkins' Low ET of the meet effort of 8.85/154. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, once again Bob qualified #1 with an 8.94/154.10 (Top Speed). He beat Dave Kanners Hornet in the first round, with a 9.04/152.80. In round two, he took out the other AMC entry, Wally Booth's Hornet, with a 9.01/152.80, but in the semifinals, he faced off against Jenkins again. This time Bill set Low ET of the meet with an 8.91/153 to beat Bob's 9.09/143.76. The next big event was the NHRA Gatornationals. Bob never really did very well at this race and in '74 it was no different. He qualified #9 with a 9.09 setting up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Gapp. In that race, Glidden had transmission problems and lost to Wayne's 9.19. Indianapolis hosted the NHRA Division 3 Opener in May and Bob was one of three Pro Stock cars to qualify in the "eights." His 8.97 qualified #2 behind Bobby Yowell's 8.92 in Billy Stepp's Dodge. Yowell went on to dominate this race, setting Low ET and Top Speed along the way. Glidden was at National Trail in June for the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #2 with a 9.06/153.06 (Top Speed). A 9.18/141.77 beat Gapp's 9.29/145 in round one, while a 9.12/152.28 advanced past a fouling Scott Shafiroff in round two. In the semifinals, he beat Joe Satmary's Camaro with a 9.10/152.28, putting him in the final against Roy Hill. Hill's best of eliminations was 9.26 so in the final he gambled on the 'tree and lost. Bob got the victory with a 9.11/153.06. The following week (June 16), he was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. He qualified #1 with a 9.03/151.77 (Low ET and Top Speed). He beat Jerry Miller in the "Jeg's" Pinto in the first round, with a 9.19/149.00, but in round two, Reid Whisnant pulled a holeshot and his 9.20/148 beat Bob's quicker, but later 9.17/147.78. Maple Grove hosted a big sixteen-car Pro Stock race in June and Bob was there. He ran a 9.08/150.75 in the first round, but in round two he fouled against Kanners. Glidden won the NHRA 1/8 Mile Drags at Kentucky. A 5.80 in the final beat Satmary's 5.92. He ended the month of June with a runner-up finish to Gapp at the IHRA Northern Nationals on June 30. Glidden set Low ET and Top Speed while qualifying #1 at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals with an 8.90/153.84. He beat alternate Charlie Castaldo in round one, with a 9.02, but in the second round, both he and opponent Larry Lombardo in Bill Jenkins' Vega ran 9.13 with Larry getting the win light. Maryland International held the Pro Stock Open and Bob qualified #2 in the sixteen-car field. He won his first-round race over Hill and in the second round his 8.95/153.94 (Top Speed) advanced to the semifinals when Shafiroff's Vega broke. Unfortunately, the race never finished as rain interrupted the proceedings before the semifinals. Bob followed the NHRA tour into Canada for the Grandnationals in early August. He qualified #4 with an 8.96/154.37 (Top Speed). In the first round, he beat Sam Gianino with an 8.97/152.81. In round two, he improved to an 8.92 over Richie Zul's 9.10. He quickened his pace again in the semifinals when his 8.90/153.58 stopped Booth's Hornet at 9.09. In the final, he faced Gapp in his four-door Maverick. Wayne was no slouch as he had reset the NHRA Pro Stock record in qualifying with an 8.86. Sure enough, in the final, Wayne's Maverick got the win with an 8.90/145 over Bob's 9.01/153.32. At the third NHRA Division 3 race at Tri-City, Yowell won again, but Glidden set Low ET and Top Speed at 9.02/151.51 before slowing to a 9.25/136.15 in the final that lost to Bobby's 9.09/149. Bob got his biggest win of the year at Indianapolis for the NHRA US Nationals on September 2. He was fighting hard against Ford "teammates" that were running the long wheelbase cars for a better weight break. Bob qualified #2 at Indy with an 8.99/153.06 between two of the long wheelbase cars, Gapp at 8.95 and Don Nicholson at 9.01 in his "new" '70 Mustang. At the end of round two (32 car field) most of the "heavy hitters" were left. In round three, Bob's 8.99/153.06 beat Booth's quicker 8.96/150. In the semifinals, he won on another holeshot as his 9.00/151.77 beat Kanners' quicker 8.97/151. This put him in the final against Nicholson who had lane choice due to an 8.96 in the semifinal. But in the final, "Dyno" fouled away a 9.01/151 while Glidden grabbed his second Nationals victory with a 9.01/151. It would have been a close race! Bob won the Supernationals at Ontario over Wayne Gapp, running a new record 8.811 at 154.63. Those were his best NHRA national event times of the year.

Notes: Dyno ran the SOHC Maverick early in '72 before his 351 Pinto was built. And it was a strong runner. On January 2, he set a 9.44 OCIR track record at the first OCIR All-Pro event. A blown transmission got to him in round one. At the Lions Grand Premiere also in Jan Dyno won the event beating Butch Leal in the final with a 9.59/142.40. At that meet, Nicholson reset the NHRA record at 9.58/142.85. He then qualified number one with a 9.54 at Phenix City for the first USRT team race. But a blown clutch while staging in the final left Don as Runner-up. In the USRT point standings, he finished third. At the AHRA Winternationals, Don qualified #1 with a 9.60/143.08, but lost oil pressure in round one, and shut off. A 9.73/140 qualified Don fifth at the NHRA Winternationals in Feb, and he won his first-round race, but breakage kept him from advancing to round two. Dyno then got his Pinto and Ken Dondero was given the driving chores of the Maverick. - RH | Fleer bump gum card claimed 9.40/145, but those are likely rounded estimates, not actual times. 9.734 NHRA Pomona CA 2/72.

Notes: Rick Howard photo. Also ran 9.84 at St. Louis. | Jim qualified #13 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 10.092/138.24. He had the third quickest Chevy in the 32 car field behind Ron Hutter and Bill Jenkins. He lasted until round two before losing to Arlen Vanke. Shortly after that, he was at Beeline Dragway for the AHRA Winternationals. This was a sixteen-car field and five Camaros made the field with Jim's 10.16 being the slowest (#15). But he picked up to 10.06/136.98 in the first round, to beat Dick Oldfield who fouled away a 9.96/140 in the "Motown Missile.” Another strong run of 10.07/137.19 beat Lee Smith's quicker 10.02/138 in round two and going into the semifinals, Hayter had the only Chevy left in the field. But he slowed to 10.12/137.67 and lost to eventual winner Vanke’s 10.01/140. In Mid-March, he joined the Fred Gibb racing team. He was the strongest of the four Chevy qualifiers at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals with a 9.750/141.16. But he fell off to 10.13/137.61 in the opening round that lost to Reid Whisnant's 10.05/138. His next stop was at West Palm Beach for the AHRA Pro-Am Championships. He reached the final, but in spite of running 9.96/137.61 he was nowhere close to the winning 9.71/141 of Don Carlton who had now taken over driving the "Motown Missile.” The Chevy Pro Stock teams were having a harder and harder time trying to keep pace with the Mopar Hemis. Even the Fords stepped up their pace and the Chevy teams were starting to fall behind. It was dark days for them in NHRA competition, but AHRA decided to let the Chevys have a weight handicap. Of course, this helped immensely. At Green Valley Raceway, for the next AHRA Grand American race, all the Mopar teams boycotted this race except for Bobby Yowell. So, the field was made up of fourteen Chevys, one Ford, and Yowell's Duster. It was a Chevy lover's dream. Jim beat the Camaros of Wayne Dobbs, Bill Hielscher, and Royce Freeman to reach the final. His semifinal win came with a 10.09. His final round opponent was Joe Satmary whose semifinal win came at 10.32. So, it looked like Hayter had the win in the bag, but he fouled and gave the win to Satmary. Things were still really bad for the Chevy teams in NHRA as at Dallas, for the NHRA Springnationals, Jim only qualified #18 in the 32 car show. He lost to eventual winner Ronnie Sox in the opening round.rn

Notes: NHRA Pro Stock Champion. Ran 8.52 NHRA record in August 77. Won Gators, Springs, Indy, 8.572 at Englishtown for a new record (and his best national event ET). Ran 8.70/157.61 at Pomona, 8.64 at Gainesville, 8.68 at Columbus, 8.61 at Indy, 8.58 at Seattle. | "Dyno Don" returned to his winning ways in '77. After concentrating heavily on his match race program in '76, he returned to NHRA competition for '77. He did not race at the AHRA Winternationals, but at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he showed that he could still run with the "big dogs" by qualifying #1 with an 8.70/158.17. He beat Ken Dondero driving the "Gapp and Roush" Pinto in the first round, with an 8.90/155.97. In round two his 8.73/155.17 beat Kevin Rotty and a semifinal 8.73/156.25 took out Bob Glidden's slightly quicker 8.72/157. In the final he faced Larry Lombardo driving Bill Jenkins' Monza. Larry had run 8.65 in his semifinal race and that must have had Don a little nervous at the fouled away an 8.77/157.61 while Lombardo got the victory with an 8.61/158. "Dyno" then went to Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals where once again he qualified #1, this time with an 8.65/155.90. He stayed in the 8.6s in the first two rounds with runs of 8.66/157.61 (Top Speed) and 8.65 to beat Gordie Rivera and Dale Evans. Don slowed to 8.74/157.34 in the semifinals when Lombardo fouled against him. He was supposed to meet Wally Booth in the final, but Booth had blown his engine while beating Dondero in the semifinals, and he was unable to swap in another engine for the final. Don got to run a solo for the win, but he still put his foot into it and set Low ET with an 8.64/157 for the victory. The following week (March 20), he was at LaPlace for the NHRA Division 4 opener. To say he did well was an understatement. He qualified #1, set Top Speed and Low ET (8.67) and he beat Richie Zul in the "Reher-Morrison" Monza in the final with an 8.69/153.06 for the title. Another win came at Warner Robins on March 27 for the NHRA Division 2 opener. He qualified #4 at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals with an 8.70, but he was unable to stick around after the rain delay. Another major win came at the NHRA Springnationals. His 8.68 qualified #3 and in the final, his 8.78/153.06 beat Frank Iaconio's 8.80/153. At the second NHRA Division 2 race at Blaney, Nicholson picked up another win. Englishtown was the next stop on the NHRA tour for the Summernationals and Don's 8.64/157.06 qualified #2. He improved to 8.58/157 in the first round, over Bob Ingles while an 8.57 got around Zul in round two. In the semifinals, Don was late off the line and his 8.67 lost to Iaconio's 8.75. Nicholson followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. He qualified #2 in the eight-car field with an 8.67, but he lost to Warren Johnson in the first round. Don returned to his winning ways at Suffolk for the next NHRA Division 2 race. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with an 8.66 and then ran 8.98/147.29 in the first round, over Roy Hill who broke. In the semifinals, he got an "odd-lot" solo and ran 8.67. This put him into the final against Ingles. "Dyno" wrapped it up with an 8.66/155.97 (Top Speed). At this point in the year, the points chase appeared to be Nicholson vs. Lombardo with Glidden closing from the rear. So, Don made a trip to New England for the NHRA Division 1 points race. This was made to stop Lombardo from winning the race and getting the points. It paid off as not only did "Dyno" win (beating Lombardo in the final), but his final round 8.52 was a new NHRA record, giving him some much-needed points. He then went to Gainesville where he also won the NHRA Division 2 final. Then came Indy, where Nicholson scored his biggest win of the year at the NHRA US Nationals. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with an 8.61 and then ran 8.67/155 over Jerry Haas and 8.74/155 over a fouling Johnson in round two. A semifinal 8.72/155 beat points rival Lombardo, and then he went up against a rejuvenated Glidden, who was running strong and closing in on the points gap between him and Lombardo/Nicholson. Glidden broke in the final and "Dyno" got the victory with an 8.73/154. Don’s best speed this year was a 158.73 at the Cajun Nationals.

Notes: Photo from the 1970 Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park by Jim Simmons. Best regular season ET was 10.01. Best validated NHRA speed was 136.98. Where was the 140 run? Humbert was at Dallas in the middle of June for the NHRA Springnationals. It was a 32 car field and after an easy first-round win, he beat Reid Whisnant in round two with a 10.30. But in the third round, he fouled against Wally Booth. On June 28 he was runner-up to Arlen Vanke at the NHRA Division 3 race at Milan. Humbert's transmission broke in the final. He was also runner-up to Vanke at the following Division 3 race held at Indianapolis on July 12. The following week (July 19), Dick was at York for the NHRA Summernationals. He qualified #10 in the sixteen-car field with a 10.15/134.93. An opening Round 10.11/136.57 upset Ronnie Sox's 10.29/135. He soloed with a 10.97/122.61 in round two when Dave Strickler broke, but in the semifinals, he was late off the line and his 10.11/136.98 lost to Herb McCandless' 10.14/138. At NHRA's fourth Division 3 race held at Tri-City on August 2, it was Vanke who stopped Humbert again. But not in the final this time, as the two met in the semifinals. There, Arlen's 10.11/134 beat Dick's 10.19/133.73. At the end of the month (August 31), he was at Bristol for the eighth AHRA Grand American race. An opening Round 10.33 advanced and in round two, his 10.42/122.61 beat Bev Chocklett's 10.68/131. He faced "Dyno Don" Nicholson in the semifinals and his 10.26/134.93 lost to "Dyno's" 10.16/137.

Notes: Jim qualified #14 at Dragway 42 in August for the IHRA Summernationals with a 9.86. He improved to 9.81 in the first round, but it wasn't enough to beat Ken Dondero's 9.60 in Don Nicholson's Maverick. Jim ran really well at Amarillo for the NHRA World Finals, qualifying #2 at 10.11. After a first-round bye run (10.84/133.33), he beat Rich Mirarcki's 9.99/139 in round two with a 9.92/137.19. Wally Booth broke against him in round three (32 car field), and he advanced with a 9.96/137.82. His run ended in the semifinals, where eventual winner Bill Jenkins ran 9.79/140 to trailer Hayter's 9.99/138.46. Jim qualified #3 at 9.452/145.39 for NHRA Ontario 1972 but broke in Round 1.

Notes: Herb ran two NHRA national events this year. He qualified #23 at Englishtown at 9.394/146.58, but he lost a strange round one to Dyno Don. Nicholson broke on the line, but McCandless ran off the track and was disqualified. A 9.284/147.78 at the Indy Nationals put him 18th. He lost round one to Wayne Gapp, 9.08/149 to 9.28/147.54. Also ran 9.21/148.71 at the Tulsa PRA National Challenge. In July, Herb was at Cayuga, Ontario, for the third USRT race. It was a sixteen-car field, and in the first round, he made an easy pass to advance after "Dyno Don" Nicholson fouled away a 9.25/147. Herb had a really close race against Dick Landy in round two that saw his 9.27 nip Landy's 9.28 to the stripe. He improved to 9.21 in the semifinal to defeat Don Carlton's 9.33. His final-round opponent was Dave Stricker, who had driven his Vega to 9.22 to win his semifinal race. The final was expected to be close, and it was. But Dave caught a great light and held on to take a 9.22/145 victory over McCandless' quicker and faster,9.19/149.00. His next stop was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, reviewed above. On August 8, he was back at Englishtown for the USRT race. McCandless ran really well. He started the day off by running 9.19/146.10 to beat Scott Shafiroff's 9.60/145. He set Low ET in round two with a 9.12/148.27 that took out Bruce Larson's 9.46/144. He continued to mop out the Vega's in the semifinal, where his second 9.12 run beat Strickler's 9.27/144. He had a surprising finalist in the form of Wally Booth's Hornet. Wally had run as well as 9.22 in eliminations, so he had to take a gamble on the tree in the final. Unfortunately for him, it came up red, and Herb motored to 9.13/148.02 for the victory. At Tulsa, for the AHRA National Challenge, his 9.21 qualified #8 in the 32 car field. He ran 9.24/148 in the opening round to beat Lynn Harrison's 9.63/141. Les Swearingen's Vega broke in round two, so McCandless ran 9.29/148 to advance. In round three, he came up against the eventual winner Bill Jenkins. Bill booted it to a 9.14/149 to defeat McCandless' 9.31/146.

Notes: Car ran 9.61 at Blaney SC and 9.64 at Rockingham in '73. Harold was at the Suffolk National Open in November. He was running really well. It was an eight-car show and in the opening round, his 9.13/147.63 beat Clyde Cheek. He lost to Richie Zul's 9.04/149 in the semifinals with a 9.16/147.16. But Zul was disqualified and Harold was reinstated for the final against Frank Iaconio. Harold had the edge based on ETs, but in the final, Frank got out on him and his 9.16/147 held off the Duster's quicker 9.12/146.79.

His 9.94 qualified #7 in the sixteen-car field, but he lost early in eliminations. On August 19, he was at Thompson raceway for an eight-car show. Unfortunately, he fouled away a 9.84/141 in the first round, against Ron Hutter, who advanced with a 10.23/140. Eddie was at Marion Country on August 29 for the AHRA Grandnationals. It was the beginning of rules to make certain cars competitive. In '71, Chevy's were given a weight handicap.

Notes: Ran 9.64 at OCIR and 9.680/142.63 at Tulsa. | Mopar lovers had it all their way in the first couple of years of Pro Stock. The 'Cudas, Challengers, Dusters, and Demons were winning everything. Then there was this guy, Bob Lambeck. He took an old Super Stock Dart and converted it into a Pro Stock, and made it run faster than it should have. He won a lot of events with the old Dart, but a new ride had to come. Lambeck had this new Duster running in January for the first OCIR All-Pro race. He lasted until the final, where his off-pace 10.15/136.15 lost to Butch Leal's 9.56/144. He lasted until the semifinals at the next All-Pro race. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified in the top half (#11) of the 32 car field. He lasted until round two before losing to Ronnie Sox. Bob had the misfortune of qualifying #5 at the third OCIR All-Pro race. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Leal which he lost. Lambeck faced Leal again, but this time it was in the final for the Bakersfield March Meet. Bob pushed the 'tree a little too hard and fouled. A week later (March 12), these two was in the final at Fremont for the AHRA Northern Nationals. Lambeck out qualified Leal with a 9.53 compared to Butch's 9.56. They were behind Ken Dondero's 9.44 in Don Nicholson's Maverick. Bob beat Ed Terry, and in round two, his 9.56/144.23 beat Dave Atkins. He had a tough foe in Bill Bagshaw in the semifinals, but Bill broke a driveshaft, and Lambeck advanced. Leal had run a track record 9.40 in his semifinal win, so he was looking good, but he reversed the outcome of a week earlier by fouling. Bob got the victory with a 9.52/142. At the final OCIR All-Pro race, it was expected to be another close race between these two. They qualified one-two with Leal's 9.64 getting the pole over Lambeck's 9.68. Bob quickened his pace with a 9.64 of his own in the first round. Things were going according to plan until the semifinals, where Leal broke a rod and lost while Lambeck went 9.68 to trailer Bob Anderson. He then faced Ken Van Cleve for the money, and Ken fouled, giving Bob's 9.72/142.40 the win. He finished runner-up to Sox at the IHRA 1/8 Mile Championships at Charlotte. He competed at The IHRA Pro-Am Championships, where he lasted until round two before Sox's 9.45 beat his 9.56.

Notes: Wicked Wilbert. Also ran 9.19 at Englishtown. Smallwood was at Rockingham early in May for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. It was a sixteen-car field, and his 9.24 qualified #8. In the opening round of eliminations, Wilbert's 9.45/146.34 beat Linwood Craft's 9.84/142. But in round two, his 9.34/146.00 lost to Ronnie Sox's 9.11/148. Will raced at the final Pro Stock event of the Connecticut season. He lost the first-round, was reinstated as the Low ET loser when an opponent broke, and then lost a close one to eventual winner Richie Zul in the semis. He ran times of 9.43/146.34, 9.29/146.81, and 9.40/146.10.

Notes: Wally debuted his Hornet in June at the NHRA Springnationals. The car had some teething problems and failed to qualify. By the next NHRA event, the Summernationals at Englishtown, Booth had gotten his Hornet figured out and he ran 9.28/145.63 to qualify #10 in the 32 car show. Not too bad considering almost 50 cars were attempting to qualify. He lasted until round two where his 9.32/144.00 fell to eventual winner Bill Jenkins' 9.02/150. He continued to flog the AMC and on August 1 made it into the final at the USRT event at Englishtown. He did it by beating Ronnie Sox in the semifinals with a 9.22, just nipping Sox's 9.24. Unfortunately, Booth lost to Herb McCandless on the money run. Two days later he was in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals where he qualified #8 with a 9.24. A 9.31/143.16 beat Canadian Alban Gauthier's 9.61/143 in the first round, but in round two his 9.28/144.00 lost to Bob Glidden's 9.16/149. Also ran 9.22 at Beech Bend. Ran 9.344/145.16 at NHRA Indianapolis IN 9/01/73. Qualified at 9.167 at Ontario and got a first-round win at 9.140 (no speed), but slowed to a 13 second time in round two and lost to Dave Kanners' similar machine.

Notes: Photo from the 1974 NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Florida. This car had a very short lifespan. Don Hardy built the car which used quick-release body panels. The Gapp and Roush built engine used Brooks rods and pistons, a General Kinetics cam, and twin Holley Dominators on an Edelbrock tunnel ram manifold. The heads, of course, were also done by Gapp and Roush. The rear end was a Ford 9" with 5.67 gears. | The "Gapp and Roush" team debuted their new Mustang II at the NHRA Gatornationals in March. Jack Roush drove it while Wayne Gapp drove the team's Pinto. As shown in the picture, he had the rear window blow out at speed on its first run. They grabbed a replacement off a rent-a-car! Jack then went out and qualified the car #2 with a 9.03/152.28 behind Gapp's 8.99/152 in the Pinto. Both survived the first-round with Jack's 8.94/153.06 beating Paul Blevins' 9.01. Gapp hurt his motor in his first-round win over Bob Glidden and was unable to run in round two. Roush had to carry the "Gapp and Roush" banner himself in round two and his 8.97/152.51 won over Scott Shafiroff's 9.08/149. He beat his third straight Vega driver in the semifinals where his 8.95/152.80 put Frank Iaconio's 9.05/152 on the trailer. This put Jack into the final against Wally Booth and his AMC Hornet. Jack made his worst run of eliminations, a 9.01/152.54 that finished runner-up to Booth's 8.97/152.
