Notes: Garlits raced at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but he ended up as the first alternate with a 6.13 best. The following week, he was at Fremont's East-West meet, where he ran a best of three match race against Tommy Ivo's jet. Don won the first race with a 6.10/240.00. In the second race, he lost when the car tossed a blower belt. He came back to win the third race to win the match. Shortly after that (February 18), he was at Beeline Dragway for the NHRA Division Seven opener. He beat Shirley Muldowney there, but he lost to Marvin Graham. A big win followed at the Bakersfield March Meet. This was the first year the race was reduced to sixteen cars. His 5.86 qualified #1, and in round one, a 5.90/232.55 beat Dave Uyehara's 5.90/245. In round two, Hank Johnson's 6.27/227 fell to Garlits' 5.95/226.13. Gary Ormsby fouled against him in the semi-final, and Don advanced with a 5.87/234.98. He stayed strong in the final, where his 5.88/240.00 won over Rick Ramsey's 6.08/218. Gainesville was not a race "Big Daddy" would like to remember. He "only" qualified #15 at 6.13/239.36. Jeg Coughlin broke against him in the first round, and Don ran 6.65/223.88. In the second round, he smoked the tires, and his 6.56/209.79 lost to Rob Bruins' 6.07/240. Another win came his way on March 18 at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. It was an eight-car field, and his 5.99 qualified #4. He beat Marvin Schwartz in the opening round with a 6.03 and then ran 6.07 in the semi-final over Clayton Harris' 6.43. He faced Connie Kalitta in the final, and Don's 6.20/232.53 won over Kalitta's 6.49/199. He then opened the month of April by winning the NHRA Division Two opener held at DeSoto. Only seven cars showed, and he was the slowest in qualifying. He picked up to 6.14/230.76 in the first round to defeat Schwartz's 6.47/224, and he set low E.T. in the semi-final with a 6.01/233.16 that beat Bobby Hilton's 6.37/198. He went up against low qualifier Muldowney in the final, and his 6.06/244.56 barely covered her 6.07/241. His next win came at the IHRA Dixie Nationals at Atlanta, where he beat Coughlin in the final. He was absent from the races until he reached Maple Grove in mid-May for the Dutch Classic. This was another eight-car show, and his 6.05/236.84 (Top Speed) qualified #1. The race was rain-delayed, and some cars did not return, so Garlits got a solo in the first round and ran low E.T. at 5.99/236.22. In the semi-final, he dropped Howard Haight with a 6.03/233.76. That set up a final-round meeting with Bobby Hilton. Garlits' 6.18/231.95 won when Hilton had to shut off on the line with a fuel leak. He was in St. Louis early in June for the AHRA Gateway Nationals. He also won there; he always seemed to win at St. Louis. The win didn't come easy. His 6.16 qualified second to Graham's 6.14. He beat Jack Revelle in the first round and Bill Selley in the semi-final. He faced the always tough Frank Bradley in the final, and the two had a great race that saw Garlits' 6.23 top Bradley's 6.24. The following week he towed to Columbus and won the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #4 at 6.00/235.60. A 6.09/238.72 took care of Bill Pryor's ailing 6.37/223. Kalitta's 6.08/239 in the second round lost to his 6.01/241.58. In the semi-final, Don's 6.04/239.36 beat Johnny Abbott's tire-shaking 6.12/239. This time he faced Richard Tharp driving the "Candies and Hughes" car in the final. Tharp was hungry as it was his first NHRA National event final since the '77 U.S. Nationals. But Richard's off-pace 6.51/183 was no match for Garlits' 6.11/236.84. Don also ran 246.57 at the NHRA Summernationals in July and at the Indy U.S. Nationals in September. The 5.78/252.70 set the AHRA World Record. | 5.97 246 NHRA Englishtown NJ 7/79

Notes: Clayton began his NHRA national event season at Columbus, qualifying #4 at 6.094/239.36 (top speed). He improved to 6.052/239.36 to beat Dale Funk's 7.313/143.34 in round one. He continued his tear in round two with a 6.062/227.27 decision over Dave Settles' respectable 6.211/231.95. Clayton fell off to a 6.353-225.00 in the semis, enough for Marvin Graham to slip by at 6.307-221.18. Clayton qualified #4 again at the Summernationals with a 6.156-231.95. However, Dale Funk returned the first-round favor with a 6.376/236.84 to 6.427/229.59 decision. At IHRA Bristol in June, Clayton beat the Edwards Bros.' 6.51/223.32 in round one with a 6.31/222.22. He improved to 6.29/221.13 in round two to beat Charlie Moulder's 6.65/181.08. Clayton smoked the tires against Don Garlits in the semis and shut off against Don's 6.18/230.76. He had a rough outing at Indy with a 6.460-184.04 #14 alternate effort. That was the team's last NHRA event of the year. Some wire reports cited Clayton's hometown at Columbia, MS, this year (82 miles southwest of Haleyville). Photo from 1974 IRP WCS D3.

Notes: Qualified #3 at Columbus at 6.325/216.86. | Car started the season with a dual element wing (first Top Fuel to run that type of wing per Dale Funk) with an adjustable top element mounted between roll cage and engine as well as low mounted side canard wings. About mid-season, the rear wing was moved to a more traditional over axle mounting. Not sure when the switch from dual element wing to single element occurred. Dale said Robert Frakes didn't like the dual element wing. | Qualified #9 at Indy at 6.198/233.16, but lost first-round.

Notes: Won Division 2 in 1972. Ran a 6.16 at Lions in 2/72 and was the quickest in the sport at the time, beating Don Garlits' 6.21. Of course, the Top Fuel cars hit the fives by the end of the year. Number one qualifier at Indy at 6.138/229.00. This was Jack McKay's new rear-engine car, not Clayton's Moon Burst Front engine dragster. Also ran 6.13 in the first round of the 1972 Supernationals. Clayton ran 6.25 at Suffolk 4/72 and 6.15 at Lions 7/72. Low qualifier at Lions Grand Premiere at 6.15 and Summernationals at 6.20. The 6.25 was a National Record but was retired on 5/01/72 due to a rule change. Ran 6.130 at Ontario Supernationals 72, 6.62 at Pomona, 6.21 at Gainesville, 6.55 at Columbus, 6.20 at Englishtown, 6.13 at Indy, 6.13 at Ontario. Won Phenix City WCS race 6.58/209.30. Harris was runner-up at the NHRA Amarillo World Finals with a 6.215.

Notes: Dale drove Richard Holcomb's "No Name Special" at Charlotte Speedway on March 31 for the IHRA Southern Nationals. It was a 1/8 mile track, and Funk went on to win. A 4.27/167 beat Billy Campbell in the "Golddigger" in round one. In the semifinals, he beat the low qualifier, Jim Bucher, with a 5.65. This set up a final round meeting with Pat Dakin driving G.L. Rupp's Donovan-powered car. Dale got a good leave and held on to win the event. | Bill, the clocks failed in the FC and TF finals, so there are no numbers. Very few results came out of the event because the Dave Anderson incident took up all the ink. Jim Bucher was low in TF at 4.39/176.12 and ran Low ET in E1 at 4.18/175. - Bret Kepner | Dale remembers a 4.00/180 from this year. We need validation of that.

Notes: Finished in NHRA Top Ten 1974. Dangerous Dan Ferguson was his crew chief. Photo from the 1974 NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Florida. Ran 6.18 at Beeline, 6.33 at Gainesville, 6.21 at Columbus, and 6.38 at Englishtown. | The Donovan powered Top Fuel dragsters ran really well in '72 and '73, but by '74 the late model Hemi was really taking over in the fuel ranks. Wagoner opened up the season by winning the first big event, the AHRA Winternationals, with his Donovan powered car. He qualified #5 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.23/226.70 (quickest Donovan in the field), but in the first round, his off-pace 6.46/226.07 lost to Gaines Markley's 6.46/214. Lucky for Mike, Markley broke on the run and was unable to run in his round two race, so Wagoner got back in on the "break rule." He made good on his second chance by stopping low qualifier Pete Kalb in round two with a 6.21/228.42, and a solo 6.20/230.76 advanced to the final when Gary Beck lost a blower belt on the line. He faced Don Garlits in the final and "Big Daddy" looked like he was tough to beat as he had set Low ET and Top Speed in his semifinal win with a 5.78/247. Sometimes a little of luck goes a long way as in the final Garlits lost his brakes and was unable to stage so Mike got to run a single for the win. He still made a strong 6.18/226.70 pass for the victory. He also had the quickest Donovan at the NHRA Gatornationals where he qualified #5 with a 6.33. He beat Pat Dakin in the first round, before losing a 6.52 decision to eventual winner Dave Settles' 6.22 in the "Candies and Hughes" car. Mike was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships where he qualified #5 with a 6.95/213.77 in the eight-car field. He failed to reach the finals. Also in May, he was runner-up to Chip Woodall at the Lakeland National Open. There, his final round 6.47/197.46 lost to Chip's 6.40/218. The next stop was at National Trail for the NHRA Springnationals. He didn't have the quickest Donovan in the show, but his 6.21 qualified #5. He beat Paul Longenecker's 6.57 in the opening round with a 6.34, but he lost to Carl Olson in round two. This was followed by a victory at the NHRA 1/8 Mile Drags at Indiana. There a final round 4.37/169.81 beat R.J. Thomas. Earlier, Wagoner had set Top Speed at 178.92. Mike was at Thunder Valley in Marion, SD, for the NHRA Division 5 Opener. He beat the Kaiser Brothers in the first round, with a 6.71/215.30 and in the semifinals his 6.56/216.34 beat Bob Struksnes. This put him into the final against Mark Williams. Mike got the victory with an easy 7.05/149.50 when Mark lost a blower belt. At the third NHRA Division 5 event held at Wichita, Kansas, Mike beat Mark Williams in the first round, before fouling away a 6.64/217 in the semifinals against Marvin Graham. He qualified #1 with a 6.49 at the NHRA Division 4 final at Riverside, but a blower-popping 6.55/214.79 lost to Clayton Harris' 6.66/204 in the first round. Formerly listed 5.975/245.23, but we need confirmation of those numbers. Do you have that info? Best NHRA national event times were the 6.213 at Columbus and 228.42 at Gainesville.

Notes: Jim was a Chevy supporter until the end. After Top Gas ended as a class, he went hard to make a Chevy Rat motor competitive in T/F. Many other Chevy teams owed a lot to Bucher as he paved the way for them. He started the season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified on the bump with a 6.171/231.95. His was the only Chevy-powered car to qualify. Unfortunately, the engine died on the line against John Wiebe in the first round. He failed to qualify at the NHRA Gatornationals (times not reported). Jim qualified #1 for the eight-car field at Charlotte Speedway for the 1/8 Mile IHRA Southern Nationals with a 4.39/176.12 (Top Speed). An opening round 4.18/175.09 was good enough for Low ET while beating Bob Pennington. In the semifinals, he lost to eventual winner Dale Funk. In April, the NHRA Division 3 Opener was held at Indianapolis, and Jim qualified #7 in the eight-car show with a 6.48. Pat Dakin fouled against him in round one, and Bucher advanced into the semifinals, where he smoked the tires and lost to Billy Campbell. Early in May, he was at Maple Grove for the Dutch Classic. It was another eight-car show, and his 6.28/228.42 got him the #2 spot in the field. In round one, he improved slightly with a 6.27/220.58 to take out Dale Thierer's 6.49/211, but he broke on the run and could not return for the semifinals. He traveled to Canada the following week (May 19) for the second NHRA Division 1 race. He made the show, but in the first round, he smoked the tires and lost to eventual winner Gary Beck. As usual, he was the only Chevy to qualify at the NHRA Springnationals, where his 6.250/229.00 qualified #7. Bob Struksnes shut off in the opening round against him. Hee dodged a bulletin round two when his 6.466/225.00 got around Dave Settles' 6.509/230.76 in the "Candies and Hughes" machine. His run ended in the semifinals, where Carl Olson's 6.18/228 beat his 6.36/208.33. Jim's next stop was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. Thirty-five cars attempted to qualify for the sixteen-car field, and Bucher's Chevy got the #15 spot. A first-round 6.50/220.04 beat Don Souter's 6.70/215, but he smoked the tires and shut off against Jim Murphy in round two. He was runner-up to Wiebe at a Top Fuel show at Martin, Michigan. Two Chevy-powered entries made the field at the NHRA Summernationals, and surprisingly, Bucher was not the quickest of the two. That honor fell to Don Powell (#9). Jim's 6.489/230.17 qualified #15. Both went down in the first round. Bucher had problems and slowed to 7.28/172.74 in a loss to Herm Petersen's 6.34/225. He followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, where, once again, he was the only bow-tie campaigner to qualify. His 6.351/230.76 got him the #7 spot in the show. He beat Flip Schofield's 6.42/218 in the first round, with a 6.325/230.17 and a round two 6.53/200.44 advanced when Dakin lost an engine. But once again, he smoked the tires in the semifinals and shut down to a 10.87 loss to Beck's 6.28. Things looked really good at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships, where 39 cars were attempting to qualify for the sixteen-car show. Jim showed his strength as a 6.16 qualified #5. It was interesting to note that he out-qualified all the Donovan-powered cars. In round one, the rear end in the car let him down as it broke on the line, advancing Ron Correnti. His next stop was at New York National for the ill-fated PRO race in August. His 6.24/221.66 qualified #10 in the 32-car field. In the first round, he improved to 6.11/227.27 to beat John Austin, whose 'chute released early. A second-round 6.05/233 beat Souter's 6.40/207, and a third-round 6.09/229.00 beat Ted Wolf in the "Jim and Allison Lee" car. The race was run poorly, and in round four (yes, round four, not the semifinals), he faced Wolf again. This time, Bucher had problems and shut down early. He was at Maple Grove for its All-American Pro Series race shortly after. This was a sixteen-car show, and in the first round, his 6.22/221.13 advanced when Wolf lost fire. In round two, he fouled away a 6.39/208.81 against Sarge Arciero in the "Jade Grenade." At Indy for the NHRA US Nationals, Jim qualified #13 with a 6.171/230.76, but an even better 6.164/232.55 in the opening round fell to Dwight Salisbury's incredible holeshot and a 6.270/215.31. That was Jim's final NHRA event of the 1974 season. Photo from the 1974 NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Florida.

Notes: The K&G car still ran the small 354 Hemi in '68. It was surprising as most were switching from the 392 to the 426. But Jim Fox said he had found the right combination with the 354. When he had run the 426 with Norm Weekly behind the wheel, he was always experimenting. The small Hemi used a Neil Leffler blower that ran between 15% and 23% overdrive depending on track conditions. The injection was by Enderle. Rivero had his best season ever in '68. He ran well at the AHRA Winternationals running and a 7.29/215.30 in the first round, over Jerry Boldenow, but he could not return for round two. He was the third alternate at the NHRA Pomona Winters at 7.299/218.44. At the PDA Championships at OCIR on March 3, he ran as well as 6.98, but he again failed to reach the finals. Ron won the big Bakersfield March Meet. A 6.97 qualified #5, and he beat James Warren in the semifinals before soloing for the win when Leroy Goldstein failed to fire in the final. On March 17, he was at LaPlace for its '68 Opener. Rivero qualified #1 in the eight-car field with a 7.08. A first-round 7.26 beat Cliff Smith's AA/D. In the semifinals, he ran LaPlace's first "six," a 6.96/216.34 over Kerry Mackenroth. He won the race with a final round 7.04/217.90 over Dave Chenevert. He then set the track record at Cecil County (7.02), Maple Grove (7.12), Delmar (7.06/219.50), and Island Dragway in a best of three match race against "Sneaky Pete" Robinson. Rivero won the match two straight and took both ends of the track record at 7.15/215. Another win came on May 17 at Norwood's 1/8 Mile Championships. Rivero qualified #3 with a 5.03, but he picked up to a 4.93/168.53 in the first round to beat Don Roberts' gas-burner. Jimmy King fouled against him in the semifinals, and Ron ran a 5.08/138 to advance into the final. In the final, he faced off against low qualifier Mike Danylo in Fred Forkner's "Quarterhorse." Rivero set a track record 4.73 at Top Speed of the meet 172.7 to get the win over Mike's 5.22/155. On June 1, Rivero had a best-of-three-match race at Maple Grove against Don Prudhomme, who was making his first eastern appearance of the year in the "Shelby Super Snake." In their first race, Ron's 7.50/204.54 beat the "Snake's" 7.67/153. In the second race, Rivero pulled out ahead by a full car length, and he continued to stretch it out, running 7.45/193.54 to beat Don's troubled 8.02/134. At the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown, Ron qualified #8 at 6.963/218.44. In round one, he beat Al Friedman, 7.051/215.30 to 7.37/106, but lost in round two to John Mulligan, 6.65/232 to 6.993/216.34. New England held a for the NED Yankee Fueler Final. It was an eight-car show, but 28 cars showed. The K&G team was experimenting with a new Hilborn injector unit rather than the Enderle unit that they had used all season. It obviously did well, as Rivero qualified #1 with a 7.05/221.70. He improved to a 6.91/221.66 to beat Bernie Schaker's 8.30/116. He set a track record 6.86 at 222.76 in the semifinal to defeat OJ McKinney, who blew a rear end. In the final, he ran 7.27/220.58 for the victory over Phil Miller's shut-off 9.09/91. Ron ran a highly suspect 6.40 at the NHRA D1 Meet at York, PA, on 8/09/68. Formerly listed a 6.71 best for this year.

Notes: Tom was in Suffolk in March for an eight-car show. In the opening round, his 6.56/189 lost to Sarge Arciero's 6.43/212, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Raley's car broke an axle at the top end of the track, which sent him across the track and into the other lane. He brought the car to a safe stop, but it could have been much worse. Shortly after that (March 31), he was at Charlotte Speedway for the IHRA Southern Nationals. It was another eight-car show, and the track was 1/8 mile. Both he and his opponent Pat Dakin ran 4.39 (Raley at 167) in the opening round of eliminations, but Dakin crossed the stripe first. He was at Maple Grove early in April for its Spring All-Pro race. His 6.74/202.24 beat Roger Toth's 7.12/147 in the "Hemi-Hunter" in the opening round. Raley's 6.42/196.07 had just defeated Chuck Turner's 6.66/210 in the "American Way" in the semifinals. Things took a turn for the worse after that when Turner lost control of his car just past the finish line and collided with the "Jim and Allison Lee" car. Both cars were destroyed, but both drivers were able to walk away. Tom only got some bruises.

Notes: Here's a nice shot of Pat Dakin in G. L. Rupp's car losing a motor during Saturday afternoon qualifying at the 1974 Summernationals. This car was one of the nicest-looking dragsters of its day. Simple but effective graphics. Also, note those enclosed front wheel tubs. Although a neat idea while stationary, they were rudders at speed. If you had to correct and turn the wheel, they would fight you big time, ultimately sending you further out of shape. - Peter Kumble. (Note: The wheel pants having a rudder effect is generally accepted, but many notable top fuel drivers dispute this. Bp). | Ran 6.29 at Indy, 6.06 at Pomona, 6.40 at Gainesville, 6.26 at Englishtown, 6.33 at Indy. Dakin and partner G. L. Rupp had one of the stronger-running Donovan-powered cars at this time. | At Pomona for the season-opening NHRA Winternationals, Pat qualified #6 with a 6.06/233.16. A first-round 6.07/219.51 beat Gaines Markley, and in round two, he advanced with an easy 6.57/191.48 when Don Garlits broke. Unfortunately, he lost to a strong 5.84 Low ET of the meet blast by Gary Beck in the semifinals. The team was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals in March, and they qualified #12. In the first round, Dakin's 6.40 lost to Mike Wagoner's 6.39. Pat won the Easter Bunny Top Fuel Open at Bowling Green, Kentucky. On March 31, they were in Charlotte for the IHRA Southern Nationals. It was a 1/8-mile track. Dakin made it into the final by beating Tom Raley in the first round, when both ran 4.39, Pat at 161.87. In the semifinals, a 4.49 beat Marvin Schwartz, but in the final, he lost to Dale Funk. Dakin qualified #1 in the eight-car field at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships with a 6.56/189.47. He then set Top Speed of the meet with a 225.55, but he lost before the finals. Indianapolis hosted the first NHRA Division 3 race, and a 6.29 qualified the team #3. Dakin fouled in the first round against Jim Bucher. They were a little off at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals, only qualifying #14 in the field. But Dakin was up to the task, pulling a holeshot 6.40/204.54 to beat Billy Campbell's quicker 6.34/225 in the first round. He did it again in round two, running 6.37/226.70 to beat Bill Pryor's 6.34/192. Unfortunately, they hurt some parts and were unable to run in the semifinal and Pryor was reinstated.

Notes: The team started the season at Beeline Dragway for the AHRA Winternationals. Norm's 7.61/208.32 in the opening round advanced, but in round two, he lost to Darrell Greenmeyer. The team qualified #17 at Pomona with a 7.16/218.56. In the first round Weekly lost to Don Cook. The team also competed at the PDA Championships held at OCIR on March 3. Unfortunately, Norm lost to Bennie Osborn in the opening round. Then it was a stop at Bakersfield for the March Meet. A great 7.01 qualified #9 in the 32 car show. But once again, they lost early in eliminations. Irwindale held a sixteen car show on April 6, and the "Beachcomber" was there. Norm got an easy pass in the first round when Kelly Brown fouled, but he fouled against Tommy Larkin in round two. Weekly crashed at New York in May when the clutch blew in Johnson's car. He was a little sore but otherwise ok. On August 2, Norm was at Norwood, Mass., for an eight-car show. His 5.21/154.60 qualified last for the eight-car field. In the opening round, he improved to 5.16/157.90 while defeating Phil Miller's quicker 4.99/164. He fouled against Mike Danylo in the semifinal.

Notes: Originally built on '31 Chevy frame rails, but much reworked by Garlits over the years. SR 1 was revamped to fit the taller Malone after Garlits temporarily retired from driving following a mid-year car fire. Oft-reworked car was then re-christened Swamp Rat 1-B. – RT | Set NHRA national speed record on 9/59 at Dunkirk NY (at 195.63). - SK; Malone's run of 195.633 mph on Sep. 27 at Dunkirk Airport was not recognized as official because he ran too late in the day to back it up, so it was regarded as an unofficial record. He also set an unofficial elapsed time mark at Buckingham Field in Florida on Nov. 22 with an 8.19 clocking. With Malone driving the Swamp Rat 1-B car at Golden Triangle Drag Strip in Oldsmar, FL, he set a new world record for 1/8th-mile of 142.85 mph on Dec. 27. - MB; Photo: Rocky Mountain Telegram, July 3, 1959 - MB
