Notes: Won IHRA Southern Nationals at Charlotte in late March 1974 on the eighth-mile. Safford was at Tri-City in June for its Sixth annual Manufacturer's Meet. All eight cars there were to run three rounds. In his first race, he defeated Richard Tharp with a 6.80/214.28. He set Top Speed in his second race, where he turned a 6.43/226.13 to beat Shirley Muldowney. He soloed in the third round when Dale Pulde could not run in the M/T Grand Am. Safford ran 6.48/220.58 to win all three rounds. Kenny was at Bristol on Sept. 29 for the IHRA All-American Championships. His 6.64/207.37 qualified #7 for the sixteen-car field, but he lost in the opening round of eliminations.
