Notes: Runner up at 1969 NHRA Nationals. Destroked iron Keith Black 426. Photo from 1969 World Finals, Dallas, TX. After Lou Baney's accident with the Folger Ford car at the PDA Championships on July 19, Brown was without a ride. Leland Kolb stepped in and gave Brown a job driving for him. They were very successful the rest of the year. On August 9, they raced at the OCIR Anniversary Race. Kelly singled in the first round, when Bob Williams shut off on the line and in a twin tire-smoking battle in the semifinals, his 7.01/204.08 beat Gary Cochran's 7.54. In the final, James Warren fouled away Low ET and Top Speed with a 6.87/222.77 giving Brown's close 6.88/204.54 the victory. At Indy, a 6.66/222.22 qualified #16. In the first round, Doc Halladay fouled against him. In round two, John Wiebe fouled against him. In the third round, Dave Powers slept against him, running a 6.59/225 that lost to Kelly's 6.71/210.28. In the semifinal, Jim Paoli's clutch exploded and Kelly was in the final. In the final, he faced Don Prudhomme. Don ran a 6.51/223 for the win to Kelly's 6.78/205.01 runner-up effort. He won the Division 7 race at Irwindale over a sixteen-car field on September 14. He set Low ET and a track record, in the final with a 6.91/214 that beat Don Argee. And at the Division 7 final at OCIR the following week (September 20), he won again. A semifinal 6.79 over Dwight Salisbury stood for Low ET. In the final, a 6.82/222.22 beat Carl Olson's tire smoking 7.26/201.79. He ran the Irwindale Grand Prix on October 4 where a 7.09/172.74 got past the first-round. He singled in the second round when Pat Foster broke. Don Soltz fouled against him in round three (32 car field), and another foul by Dwight Salisbury put him into the final against Olson. This time, Olson came out on top with a 7.13/196 over Kelly's 7.28/216.34 in a tire-smoking race. A 6.80/213.27 qualified #6 at the NHRA World Finals on October 26. Kelly singled in the first round, when Ken Bernstein's engine wouldn't stay lit, but in the second round, it was his own engine that lost fire giving Bennie Osborn a single. On November 9, he suffered a rare first-round loss at Carlsbad for the PDA Race of Champions event. Salisbury's holeshot 7.71/211 beat Kelly's 7.55/209.78. He more than made up for the first-round loss by winning the next PDA Race of Champions event at Sacramento on November 16, beating James Warren in the final with a 6.75/209.30.
