Notes: Jim faced Chris Karamesines for a best of three match race at LaPlace in May. It was not Jim's day as he lost all three races running times of 7.09/171.75, 7.11/155.97, and a best of 7.05 with no speed records. In comparison, the "Greek's" times were all in the sixes with a best of 6.85. Jim was at Martin, Michigan, early in August for the PHR Championships. He had run 6.71 in qualifying for the show but broke and could not run in eliminations. Shortly after that (August 15), he was at York U.S. 30 for the AHRA Nationals. His 6.70/226 advanced in the opening round, and he improved to 6.67/229 in round two beat Steve Carbone. He slowed to 6.8 in the semi-final and lost to Don Garlits' 6.51. The best NHRA national event times were 6.718/221.13 at the Ontario Supernationals. | Since the team was based out of Spring Valley, I estimate this snapshot was taken on the original Hill Street in my hometown - Oceanside, California. - Mark Anthony Hollenstein

Notes: Bernstein started the '94 season by testing at Bakersfield at the end of January. He reset both ends of the track record to 4.80/300. He made four other runs but shut down early on each of them. Kenny qualified #6 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 4.81/297.71. But in the first round, his 4.86/292.87 lost to Mike Brotherton's 4.83/284. Things didn't go much better at the NHRA Quality Care Nationals in Arizona, where his 4.90/297.02 qualified #15, and he lost to Joe Amato in the opening round. It went even worse at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals. Bernstein failed to qualify for the first time since entering Top Fuel competition in '90. After running 4.96/284.81 on the opening day of qualifying, every other pass saw the car go up in tire smoke. His time was good for the first alternate. Gainesville went much better for the NHRA Gatornationals. He qualified #9 with a 4.89/296.44. An opening round 4.91/293.63 beat Jimmy Nix's 4.92/282, and a second-round 4.93/291.45 stopped Jim Head’s 5.03/276. But in the semifinals, he lost a motor against Scott Kalitta, and his fireballing 5.21/225.84 lost to Scott's 4.79/305. It was another bad day at Rockingham for the NHRA Invitational race in April. Kenny was the third alternate for the eight-car field with a 4.93/297.52. Atlanta was the next stop for the NHRA Southern Nationals. A 4.88/296.54 qualified #4, and a first-round 5.07/287.63 beat Stevie Foster's 5.16/279. But he lost to Eddie Hill in round two. Dale Armstrong was working hard on getting the team on the right track, and they showed progress at Memphis for the NHRA Mid-South Nationals. Bernstein qualified #6 with a 4.89/296.83, but more importantly, his first-round 4.81/300.40 beat Nix. Why was it more important? It was the first time Bernstein ran 300 since he last did it at the '92 US Nationals. Unfortunately, he lost to Tommy Johnson Jr. in round two. He went home early at the NHRA Mopar Nationals at Englishtown, where he lost in the first round when he smoked the tires. Another first-round loss occurred at Columbus. In mid-June, he was there for the NHRA Springnationals and ran 4.95/298.40 to qualify #8. A slightly better 4.91/298.80 in the first round lost to Blaine Johnson's 4.90/297. Kenny was the first car over 310 with a 311.85 blast at the World Finals, followed by this 314.46 national record. Ran the 4.720 on the same clutch pass – in the final over McClenathan’s 4.798.

Notes: Photo from Indy 1987. Gwynn was first under 5.20 at the Ennis All Stars race in April 1987 with a 5.176 at 276.15 mph, then went nuts at the return to Ennis in October: Gwynn's Budweiser dragster qualified with a sizzling 5.13/281.07, and then rattled off incredible times of 5.12/281.42, 5.16/278.29, and 5.09/281.95. And, in the final, a Low ET, new National Record 5.084 at 280.37 mph to win handily. Times took a precipitous drop in 1987. Gwynn set the national record at 5.220 low qualifying shot at the Gators, then went 5.174 at the All-Stars (no records recorded there), then set the record at 5.204 in Atlanta. At the Chiefs, set the record three times: 5.123, 5.092, and 5.084.

Notes: Gary started the year by receiving the "Drag Racer of the Year" award on January 13 by the Motoring Press Association. The car's first time out in '90 was at Firebird Raceway's test and tune event in January. It was also the first time the team was using the new 3.20 rear gear mandated by NHRA for '90. Crew chief Lee Beard was having trouble getting the dragster to keep all eight cylinders firing for an entire run. Gary made five runs: a get acquainted 11.09/90.66, followed by a cylinder dropping 5.15/248.96. Another seven-cylinder 5.12/265.56 followed by his best run of the weekend, a 5.11/274.47 still with one hole not firing all the way through. His last pass was 5.15/269.54. The best 60-foot time was .930. By Pomona, Lee seemed to have things figured out for the NHRA Winternationals. Ormsby's 5.03/281.51 qualified #4, and a 5.04/279.50 in the first round, beat Connie Kalitta's 5.10/269. His 5.05/279.58 beat a tire-smoking Shirley Muldowney, who shut off in the second round. In the semifinals, Gary slowed to 5.12/273.47 in a loss to Dick LaHaie's 5.03/272. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, the team qualified way back in the #10 spot with a 5.07/279.50. Gary got around Lori Johns in round one, and in round two, he advanced when Ken Koretsky lost an engine. Muldowney went into a wheelstand and shut off against him in the semifinals, and Ormsby advanced into the final against Joe Amato. Gary tried hard in their race, but his 5.11 finished runner-up to Joe's 5.05. At Houston, for the NHRA Supernationals, Gary qualified #4 with a 4.98/284.62. But in round one, he smoked the tires and shut down to 7.55/110.47 to lose to alternate Leo Gastellum's 5.08/275. The 4.881 at the Topeka Heartland Nationals was the quickest ever but was not backed up. Gary backed up the 296 speed for the record. Photo from 1990 Grandnationals, Montreal.

Notes: The car was named after his son. 8.21 for this year, but that seemed way too quick. We need to confirm if Setto even ran that time in 1960, his last year of competition.; Drag News (9/5/59) reported that Postoian ran 182.92 mph, backed up with 179.83 mph to set a new Drag News 1320 world record, but Garlits broke that at the same event with 183.66 mph. The 182.92 mph speed was also reported in the Portland Maine Evening Express on 8/24/59. Photo: Moline Dispatch, Aug. 26, 1959 - MB

Notes: Garlits started the '85 season at Firebird Dragway in January for its Super Bowl of Drag Racing event. He was there for a best-of-three-match race against Gary Beck. Don won all three races to win the match. His 5.61/251.39 in the second race looked pretty strong, but it was nothing compared to his final race, where he reset both ends of the track record with a 5.45 (career-best to this point) at 259.36. Then things went bad. A wing strut broke, and the dragster ended up sliding down the track on its side before finally rolling a couple of times in the mud field that adjoined that racetrack. The car was a mess, but Don only suffered a bruised elbow. He was back behind the wheel a week later at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His 5.87/256.41 qualified #12. He met Beck in the opening round of eliminations, and Don's 5.53/258 beat Beck's 5.68/235. A 5.50/262.39 covered Dick LaHaie's 5.73/240 in round two, but in the semifinal, both he and his opponent, Joe Amato, blew their engines. Joe coasted across the finish line first. Three cars qualified in the 5.5's at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, and Garlits' 5.55/259.36 (Top Speed) got the #3 spot in the field. in the opening round, he ran 5.61/255.82 to beat Jack Ostrander, but in round two, he was upset by Bill Mullins. They had a great race that saw Don's 5.68/254.09 lose to Mullins' 5.67/250. Garlits won his 24th NHRA national event at Atlanta for the Southern Nationals in April. He qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 5.54/259.96. In the first round, he cracked 260 with a 5.62/261.93 that beat LaHaie's 5.75/249. He ran the fastest speed for a Top Fuel dragster (up until this time). Don's 5.62/265.48 buried Larry Minor's off-pace 6.32/156. He faced Amato in the final, and there was just no stopping Garlits on this day as his 5.51/258 easily beat Joe's 5.68/222. | Don ran 5.436/260.71 to qualify #1 at the Budweiser Summernationals & would win the race. | Also ran 259.36 at the 1985 Northstars. Don was a 5.56/266.27 winner at ADRA Kansas City.

Notes: Four-day-old dragster won Ennis 89 with a 4.972 at 291.26 over Gwynn (holeshot over Darrell's 4.940). Quickest and fastest at the time (speed tied with Brotherton, but Ormsby got the records). Also ran 4.926 at 89 Chiefs for the backup. Also ran 291.63 national record at Keystones and 293.73. Became the fifth entry in the Cragar 4-Second Club for Top Fuel with a 4.991 on June 10/1989, at Columbus. Photo from Columbus 1989. What can you say about Ormsby in '89, six NHRA National event wins and the Top Fuel championship? He started the season by qualifying #2 at Firebird Raceway for the Super Bowl of Drag Racing event with a 5.08, just behind Joe Amato's 5.07. These two worked their way to the final, where Gary's quick-leaving 5.16 got the win over Joe's 5.13. Gary showed his team's strength at Pomona when he made four runs in qualifying for the NHRA Winternationals. The times were 5.08/284.72,5.07/280.89, a #2 qualifier,5.04/282.22, and a 5.06/276.15. That was pretty impressive, but once again, Amato got the pole with his own 5.04. Gary started his run for the title by running a 5.07/277.52 over Shirley Muldowney's 5.13/275, a second round 5.07/280.19 beat Jack Ostrander, and in the semifinals, he beat Dennis Forcelle's 5.18/262 with a 5.05/278.81. In the final, he met Frank Bradley, and a consistent 5.05/278.81 beat Bradley's 5.28/260. He went two for two when he won the next race, the Supernationals at Houston. It was his fourth career win. He qualified way back in the #12 spot with a 5.11 and another 5.11 in the first round, beating Richard Holcomb. He was running like a bracket racer when, in the second round, he beat Lori Johns' 5.13 with yet another 5.11. He quickened his pace to a 5.08/278 in the semifinals to beat a tire-smoking Frank Cook. In the final, he met a strong running Joe Amato, who had set Low ET (4.99). Joe ran a final round 5.03/288 but lost to Ormsby's holeshot, 5.09/278.12. The next NHRA event was the Gatornationals, where Gary ran a 5.09 to qualify #2. Unfortunately, a first-round 5.16 lost to Hank Endres' 5.13. It was then off to Atlanta for the Southern Nationals. A 5.13/275.89 qualified #4. He beat Connie Kalitta and Amato in the first two rounds with times of 5.17/276.83 and 5.20/275.06, but he slowed to a 5.32/272.14 in the semifinal and lost to Eddie Hill's 5.20/267. Race five on the schedule was the Mid-South Nationals at Memphis. Gary took his first pole of the year with a 5.03/287.35. Robert Reehl lost to Ormsby's 5.16 in the first round, and in round two, Gary ran a 5.06/286 over Bradley's strong 5.10. In the semifinals, both he and Darrell Gwynn ran 5.04s, but the Castrol car won. In the final, he took his third win of the season with a 5.03/287 beating Hill. Race six was the Cajun Nationals, where a 5.15/284.90 (Top Speed) qualified #2. Frank Hawley beat him in the first round when Gary smoked the tires. The next stop on the tour was the Springnationals. Gary qualified #1 with National Trail's first four-second pass, a 4.99 at a track record speed as well at 287.53 (tied by Gene Snow). He beat Rudy Toepke in the first round, with a 5.03, and a second round 5.12/264 beat Forcelle, but in the semifinals, he smoked the tires and lost to Amato. The tour shifted to Canada for the Grandnationals. There, Ormsby used a 5.14/279.24 to qualify #2. He ran runs of 5.11/282.39 (Low ET & tying Top Speed) over Pat Dakin, 5.18/278.46 over Forcelle, and a semifinal 5.19/276.83 over Johns to meet Dick LaHaie in the final. Gary got his fourth win of the season with a 5.15/278.98, beating Dick's 5.21/274. Englishtown was next, and a 5.19/278.81 qualified #9 for the Summernationals. This set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Bradley. Gary beat Frank in the first round and went on to beat Earl Whiting with a 5.17/280 and Hill in the semis with a 5.18/281. In the final, he met LaHaie again, but this time, the roles were reversed, with Dick's 5.11/282 beating Gary's 5.24/271.57. Next came the Mile High Nationals in Denver. A 5.25/270.43 in the thin air was good enough to qualify #3. He beat Kalitta in the first round, and a 5.27/270 beat Hill in round two. He picked up to a 5.22/264 in the semis to beat Johns' 5.27/271. In the final, he ran Amato, and an off-pace 5.33/270.75 gave Gary his second runner-up in a row. The tour moved on to the California Nationals run on July 30. Ormsby ran a 5.05/289.29 to qualify #2. In the first round, he beat Cook's 5.19/269 with a 5.09/289.85 (Top Speed), but in round two, the car fell off to a 5.52/282.39 that lost to Jim Head's 5.21/271. Seattle was the next stop for the Seafair Nationals. A 5.05/285.44 qualified #3. He beat Gwynn in the first round with a 5.04/283.82. A 5.11/280.81 beat Shirley Muldowney's 5.14/282 in round two. Unfortunately for Gary, a semifinal 5.14/279.15 lost to Amato's 5.07/273. The next event was not to Gary's liking. He qualified well at the Northstar Nationals with a 5.15/282.75, but in the first round, against Kalitta, he crashed and totaled his car when he hit the guardrail. He was OK, but the car was not.

Notes: After 19 months off due to her accident, Muldowney returned to the sport on January 19 at Firebird Raceway for the Super Bowl of Drag Racing event. She made an obligatory half-track checkout pass of 7.22/124.30. She returned and ran 5.97/236.22 to qualify #7 in the eight-car field. A first-round 5.59/235.60 beat Larry Minor, but a valve keeper broke, and the supercharger lifted on the manifold and broke the studs. Crew chief Rahn Tobler called it a day, and they failed to repair the car for the semifinals, letting Minor back in on the "break rule." Shirley started the '86 NHRA season by qualifying #2 at Pomona for the Winternationals with a 5.47/252.80. In the first round, she faced Don Garlits and "Big Daddy's" 5.59/264 beat her 5.71/218.97. On February 21, Shirley was a guest on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. After the interview, she and Johnny raced golf carts in the back of the studio. Carson won their race. At the Gatornationals, Shirley only qualified #11, and in the first round, her 5.65/250.13 lost to Dan Pastorini's slower 5.73/251. She was in Atlanta in April for the Southern Nationals, where a 5.71/245.23 qualified #11. Shirley continued to have bad luck in the first round when Garlits' 5.53/261 beat her 5.65/251.81. Muldowney got past the first round at the next NHRA event, the Cajun Nationals at Baton Rouge. A 5.58/242.13 qualified #4, and a first-round 5.57/250.48 beat Pastorini's 5.62/250. But in the second round, while racing against Gene Snow, she lost a blower belt and the race with a slowing 5.99/172. At the Springnationals on June 15, Shirley would have been happy with a first-round loss, as her 5.85/248.61 left her outside of the field as the second alternate. The team had used up four crankshafts in trying to make the show. Shirley rebounded nicely by qualifying #4 at the Grandnationals in Canada with a 5.59/261.78. A first-round 5.52/261.32 got past an ailing Jimmy King, and in round two, a motor blowing 5.77/185.10 took out Hank Endres. With a new engine installed for her semifinal race with Dick LaHaie, Shirley left the line only to lose a blower on a 5.81/251.81 pass that lost to LaHaie's 5.61/249. At the World Finals, Shirley qualified #4 at 5.424/267.30 and ran as quick at 5.423/267.69, making it to the semifinals.
