Notes: This was one of the cars chosen to run the Coca-Cola Cavalcade tour for '76. Dave was a DNQ at NHRA Pomona, but he ran really well at OCIR's Fox Hunt race in March. 27 cars were attempting to qualify for the sixteen-car field, and his 6.38 qualified #3. Unfortunately, he failed to reach the finals. He did appear in the final at Sacramento's Funny Car race later in the month. But he lost to Russell Long. Dave qualified #16 at the NHRA World Finals at 6.450/218.97. He lost to Rick Johnson in round one, 6.32/227 to 7.23/140.

Notes: The Condits went out on their own after Dave drove for Plueger & Gyger in late 1974 and drove the LA Hooker in 1975 and 1976. Best Appearing Car at 1978 NHRA Winternationals. Dave qualified #13 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.398/203.61. An opening round 6.450/216.86 lost to Tom McEwen's 6.32/220. At the Bakersfield March Meet, Condit's 6.22/213.77 in the opening round defeated Gary Densham's 6.55/217. He got to solo in round two when John Force was unable to show, and he advanced with a 6.32/196.07. Unfortunately, the transmission locked up in the semifinal, and he could not race Tripp Shumake. Dave was at OCIR on May 13 for the NHRA Division Seven race. A 6.29 qualified #6 in the eight-car field. He and his opponent, John Force, smoked the tires in the first round, but Condit's 6.53/213.27 got the win light ahead of Force's 6.65/215. But an off-pace 6.70/181.08 in the semifinals lost to Henry Harrison's 6.26/223. The team failed to qualify at Indy with a 6.343/230.17 on 9/3/78 but could not qualify at Ontario for the NHRA World Finals.

Notes: The 1972 Mustang Mach I sat on an SPE Chassis, and lettering by Dennis Rickliff (check spelling). The car ran a 6.89 at 220. I ran the car at Pomona, Orange County Raceway, and Hawaii Raceway Park. Thanks so much for a terrific site. - Robert Contorelli | Robert spent approximately $15,000 in '72 to build this Mustang. The SPE chassis had a 120" wheelbase and the Mustang body came from Ed Wills' shop. The engine was an aluminum Donovan that was built by Gene Oates. A 1/2" Velasco stroker crank was used as well as Howards rods and Arias pistons. The cam came from Engle. Oates also ported and polished the early Hemi heads. Both the intake and exhaust valves were Donovan 2 inches. A Don Hampton prepared blower sat on a Cragar manifold and Cragar also supplied the blower drive. Up top sat an Enderle injection unit that fed the 80% nitro mix to the engine. The engine put out around 1,200 hp. A 10" triple disc clutch fed the power through a SPE direct drive to a 4.56 rear. Total weight for the car was 1,800 lbs. including 75 lbs. of ballast. The Aztec gold and candy blue paint was sprayed on by Don Henderson of American Fiberglass.

Notes: Brian failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals (times unavailable). He was the fourth alternate at Bandimere at 6.670/214.79. Those were his only two NHRA national events this year. His next stop was at Kansas City International for the AHRA Summernationals. It was an eight-car field, and his 6.88/209.79 qualified #6. He lost to Tom Hoover in the first round, but Conway had more problems, as he had a small oil fire in the lights. He got it stopped alright, and both he and the car were OK.

Notes: Conway raced this car briefly while transitioning from the Destroyer jeep to a couple of very successful Corvette floppers. This was the former Mark Bullet "Bloomin Bullet" funny with a glass Firebird clip replacing the original Camaro tilt front. Conway replaced the Bullet's blown Chevy with his preferred early hemi, backed by a TorqueFlite. Chuck Finders built the square-tube chassis. - RT | Gene was at Lions on March 30, where he made three passes in competition. The Firebird got out of shape on the first run, and he shut down against Rusty Delling. Gene really picked up on his second pass, running 8.18/173.74 to beat Delling's 8.45/170. He won his last race with an 8.49/168.35. On April 28, he was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. An opening round 8.76 beat Delling's tire-smoking 9.01, but in the semifinals, he lost fire against Fred Goeske. He was still driving the Firebird on May 4 at the OCIR Funny Car Championships. Gene was part of the Pontiac team, but he failed to reach the finals. He was back at Lions on May 18, and he could not qualify for the eight-car field. They decided to run two full eight-car fields since so many FC's showed. Conway's 9.89 qualified on the "bump" for the second eight. A 7-cylinder 10.06/105 in the first round, lost to Larry Barker's 8.84/175. He then went to OCIR for a fuel altered vs. funny car race. The Firebird was still not running up to par. An ailing 11.15/76.98 lost to Gary Reed's 8.14/157 in the first round, but a 9.14/168.85 in round two beat Sush Matsubara. In round three, he improved to 8.43/172.08 to beat Randy Bradford.

Notes: The C&O Jeep used a fiberglass body from Fibercraft Co. It used a 392 Hemi that was overbored .030. It also ran a 1/2 stroker crank from Reath. M/T rods and pistons were used as well as a Schneider cam. Syverson ported and polished the heads and both the intake and exhaust valves from Donovan measured 2 1/8 inches. An M/T intake manifold held the 30% overdriven blower in place. A Hilborn injection unit topped it off. The engine was run on 70% nitro. The hp was claimed to be 1,000. A C&O built TorqueFlite was used. The tube frame had a 110" wheelbase and the car weighed in at 2,200 Lbs. Early runs produced an 8.23/177.62. Gene was at Riverside for the HRM Championships in early April, but his first-round 9.22/166.66 lost to Fred Goeske's 8.70/181 in the first round, of the 2400 lb. Funny Car class. On April 15, he competed at an eight-car show at Lions. He qualified #3 with a 9.14 and another 9.14 in the first round, beat Rusty Delling's "Fiberglass Trends" Corvair. He lost to the race's eventual winner Hayden Proffitt in the semifinals. Irwindale held an eight-car show on August 26 and Gene was there. A first-round 8.24/176.12 beat Don Williamson in the "Hairy Canary", but in the semifinals, he fouled away an 8.53/171.10 against Marv Eldridge's 9.53/169. Conway won over an eight-car field at Lions on September 30. He beat Eldridge's Corvette in the first round, with an 8.39/172.74 and in the semifinals, his 8.31/172.08 beat Steve Barrett's 8.45/171 in the "New Breed." The final found Conway running Frank Pisano's Camaro. Frank ran a personal best of 8.19/170, but lost to Conway's holeshot-aided 8.25/175.78. On December 17, he was at OCIR's final race of '67. He led the eight-car field in qualifying with an 8.07/177 and went on to win, beating Ray Alley in the final. Also ran 8.13 at Fremont in late 1967.

Notes: Conway started the year at Irwindale on January 1, qualifying 6th with an 8.31 but losing to Hayden Proffitt's holeshot 8.49/166.97 to Gene's 8.39/173.74 in the first round. On January 28 at Lions for the AHRA Funny Car meet, his 8.98/164.83 qualified him 21. He lost to Roger Lindamood in the first round. Still, at Lions on February 24, Conway's 8.20 qualified him eighth in a sixteen-car field. A first-round 8.13/176.81 failed to beat Rusty Delling's 8.08 in a Firebird. The following day at Carlsbad, an 8.35/175.43 won the first-round before Lew Arrington ran an 8.24/181.80 to his 8.43/174.75 in round two. He was runner-up to Rusty Delling on March 17 at the West Coast Championships at Fremont. Gene was at Lions on May 18 for a big Funny Car show. After the top eight qualifiers filled their field, there were so many cars that a second eight-car field was made up of the following eight lowest ET cars. In this second eight-car field, Gene qualified last with a 9.89. The Jeep dropped a cylinder in the first round, and his 10.06/105 lost to Larry Barker's 8.84/175. At the OCIR Funny Car 500 on June 1, Conway beat Andy Clary in round one, with an 8.40, but he failed to make it into the finals. On June 22 at Irwindale, he fouled away an 8.10/178.57 in round one. On August 10, everyone involved in drag racing was watching the big $28,000 to win drag race between Bennie Osborn and Tom McEwen at OCIR. Of course, everyone now knows that Osborn upset McEwen for the prize, but few realized that there was also an Funny Car race being held. Conway won that race with a final round 8.29 over Jess Tyree's 8.38. Back at OCIR on August 31, Gene went to the semifinal running a best of 8.08/180.36 before losing to Dave Beebe. Not sure how much longer he ran the Jeep after this. The car ran 8.080 at Orange County on 8/31/68.

Notes: Conway qualified seventh with a 7.95 at the PDA Championships at OCIR on July 19 and he improved to a 7.79 in the second round before losing to Dave Beebe in the semis. At the OCIR Anniversary Race on August 9, Conway lost in the first round, with an off pace 8.18/139.53. His times were improving with a 7.64/185.36 run on August 16 at Irwindale. He competed at the Drag News Nationals at Lions on August 30, but was having handling problems with the car. He lost in the first round, to Jim Adolph's 8.13/167 when the car again refused to go straight and slowed to an 11.65/67.97. On September 1, Irwindale held an eight-car show and Gene qualified #1 with a 7.67. He set Top Speed in the first round, when his 7.76/194.38 lost to Ray Alley's Low ET of the meet 7.58/190. Fortunately for Gene, Alley broke and he was reinstated, but it did him little good as the Corvette broke a rear in the semifinals. The car was then running mid pack, losing early on September 6 at OCIR with a 7.88 best and failing to qualify on September 21 at Irwindale. Gene turned it up a notch, cracking a 7.40/184.80 at Lions on October 25 for the East-West Championships. Back at OCIR for the Manufacturer's meet, Conway qualified with a 7.69 and won his first race with a 7.67/191.08. A semifinal finish and a 7.55/198.66 best came next at Irwindale's big 32-car show on November 23. The car almost caught the Corvette curse at Lions the following week on November 29, when it caught fire on the line in round one. Yet on December 6, Conway returned to OCIR to run his best time of 7.37/181.08. He broke in the semifinal. He went back to Irwindale on December 14, where he failed to qualify.

Notes: Runner up to Don Prudhomme at the Toys for Tots race at Irwindale on December 12/1970. Ran 7.42/175 at OCIR on 4/18/70. He started the season at Irwindale for the New Year's Day race, but there he lost in the first round, to Clyde Morgan's Javelin at 8.05 to Gene's off pace 8.25. At the first OCIR All-Pro race on Jan 4, he beat Morgan in the first round, and a 7.50/195.22 in the semis beat Arnie Behling's quicker (Low ET) 7.43/172.08 in Don Schumacher's old car. In the final, Charlie Allen lost a trans and an easy 7.76/187.89 gave him his first win of '70. Another win came at the second OCIR All-Pro event on January 18 when Dick Bourgeois fouled against him in the first round, and Dave Beebe lost a trans against him in the semifinal. In the final, Conway ran an 8.58 to win over Tommy Grove who lost a trans on the line. At an eight-car show at Lions on February 14, Gene broke against Jim Liberman in the first round. The following day (February 15) at Irwindale he had more bad luck when he crossed the centerline in the first round, and was disqualified. He qualified third with a 7.68. At the third OCIR All-Pro on February 22, a first-round win foretold the final. Gene's 7.33/200.89 beat Jake Johnston's quicker 7.28/181.08 in the Blue Max. In the semis, a best-ever (to that point) of 7.27/201.79 beat Don Prudhomme's 7.50/194.38. In the final, he met Johnston again who had gotten back in with the break rule. Gene's quicker 7.35/201.34 lost to Jake's 7.37/189.47. OCIR held another eight-car race on March 14 and Gene advanced to the semifinal before fouling against Warren Gunter's VW. At the final OCIR All-Pro event on March 28, Gene lost a rear-end in the first round. Back at Irwindale on April 4 for an eight-car event, a first-round 7.86/172.08 advanced him into the semis where Mike Snively's 7.81/192.30 beat his 7.92/186.32. He then went to OCIR and won the Corvette Funny Car Championships. He beat Marv Eldridge in the final with a 7.54 (Low ET) at 182.55. Another runner-up finish and another broken rear end came on April 18 at OCIR. A first-round 7.35/197.36 beat Mike Van Sant's 7.41/198.23 in the Invader. A semifinal 7.42/175.43 beat Ray Alley's 7.44/191.08, but Dave Beebe won in the final where Conway broke. OCIR held its Big Four Championships on May 2. A 32-car field saw Gene run 7.95/141 and 7.86/179.28 over Jack Chrisman's close 7.88/185.56 and an 8.13/153 before breaking in the semis against Manual Herrera. On May 30 at the OCIR Funny Car 500, Conway fouled away a 7.42/198.23 against Snively in the first round. He lost again in the first round, on June 20 at OCIR's March of Dimes event. Arnie Behling's Low ET blast of 7.25/199.50 beat his 7.74/195.65. Snively must have had a hex on Gene because on July 3 for the OCIR Nitro Championships Conway again fouled against him in the first round. The next day at Irwindale for the fourth of July Championships, he went all the way to the finals before losing to Arnie Behling. On July 11 at the AHRA All-American at Lions, Gene got out of shape (8.33) in the first round, and lost to Roger Wolford (7.54/188.28). A win came at a sixteen-car field at Irwindale on July 17. He qualified #1 with a 7.67/190.26 (Top Speed) and beat Dave Beebe in the final with Low ET at 7.63. He then won the PDA Championships at OCIR on July 25, beating Ray Alley in the final with a 7.65/181.81. On August 1 at Irwindale for the Gold Cup Championships, he ran a 7.42/188.28 in the first round, and a 7.73/177.51 in the second before his car caught fire in the semis. Gene was OK. Conway fixed the car and installed a Crowerglide clutch set up with a Lenco two-speed transmission. With this set up, he showed up at OCIR on August 15 for their Anniversary Race. A first-round 7.27/188.28 beat Leroy Hales' 7.84/184. In the second round, a 7.33/194.80 beat Bob McFarland's 7.97/176 and in the semifinal, a 7.70/200 beat Ed Lenarth's 7.84/177. In the final, Gene ran his best ever speed and ET of 7.18/206.89 over Mike Snively's 7.30/203. On August 29 back at OCIR for an eight-car show, Gene ran a first-round 7.03/204.68 and a semifinal 7.10/202.70 lost to Snively's 7.12/205.47. A runner-up finish on September 12 at Irwindale followed. He ran 7.44/194.80 and 7.42/197.80 to reach the finals before losing to Snively's Low ET and Top Speed of the meet 7.26/204.54 to Gene's 7.45/177.51. On September 26 at Lions for the Anniversary Race, Ed Lenarth's 7.42/181.81 beat his 7.61/132.74 in the first round. At the OCIR East-West Championships on October 10, Gene's 7.19/198.67 beat Snively's 7.30/205.01 in the West portion of the race, but for the overall title he lost to Don Schumacher. Conway had run a best of 7.09/201.34 at the race. Gene (7.23/184.80) lost to Dave Beebe (7.09/198.23) in the first round, at the next event on October 24 at Lions, followed by a runner-up finish to John Collins in John Bateman's Maverick at the Pumpkin Day Open at Irwindale. He qualified fifth with a 7.30 and ran a first-round 7.28/208.32 over Larry Arnold. A semifinal 7.37/205.46 beat Charlie Therwhanger, but Collins' 7.23/200.88 beat his 7.44/188.24 in the final. At Irwindale for a 32 car show on November 14, Gene smoked the tires and lost to Arnold's 7.09/208.80 (Top Speed) in the second round. Gene qualified fifth on November 21 at Lions for an eight-car show. He ran 7.28/185.18 to beat a wheelstanding Randy Walls in the first round, before smoking the tires to a losing 15.50-58 in the semis against Bob Pickett who won with an 8.49/131. Gene failed to qualify for Irwindale's Toys for tots race. He had a streak of luck when number eight qualifier Larry Arnold broke and Conway got into the show. He almost went all the way, beating Ron O'Donnell in the "Fighting Irish" Camaro in the first round, with a 7.29/196.05 and then beating Jim Liberman in the ailing "Chi-Town Hustler" in the semifinals with a 7.37/200.44. In the final, he faced Don Prudhomme. Don had been running in the sixes on every run and in the final it was no different as the "Snake's" 6.92/192 beat Conway who crossed the centerline. - Ron Howard | Formerly listed at 6.925/218.97. Assuming that was run in 1971.

Notes: Listed times from hand written run sheet from Lions Funny Car match race on 6/12/71. Ran 6.97 at Fremont. | Gene failed to qualify for the eight-car show at OCIR for the first All-Pro race. He got lucky when Dave Condit's qualified car broke and was unable to run eliminations. Conway took his place in the field, but in the first round, he lost to Stan Shiroma. He did much better at the second All-Pro race on January 24. He qualified for the show and then beat Butch Maas in the "Hawaiian" in the first round, and in the semifinals, beat Don Prudhomme. In the final, he lost to Rich Siroonian. At Las Vegas for the Stardust Open, a first-round 7.27 lost to Kenney Goodell's 7.17. Another first-round loss came at the Bakersfield March Meet. Only six Funny Cars showed at Fremont for the Northern Nationals on March 14. Conway's Corvette was one of them. He beat Gordon Mineo's 7.52/159 in the first round, with a 7.25/195.22. In the semifinals, he soloed when Tom McEwen had a small fire in his Duster on the line and had to shut off. In the final, Gene was up against Maas. Butch ran Low ET and Top Speed in the final with a 6.84/217 that beat Conway's off pace 7.64/126.08. Things went better at OCIR for another eight-car show. He had a bit of luck going for him when he got out of shape in the first round, and shut off losing to Ron O'Donnell in the "Super Chief." The good news was that two cars that won their first-round races were unable to make it back for the semifinals. That got Conway back into the show on the "break rule." The breaks kept coming as in the semifinal, he faced Dave Condit's "L. A. Hooker" and the Maverick broke so Gene eased it to a 10.19/86.70 for the win. In the final he ran Gary Burgin. A 7.07/187.89 got the victory over Gary's 7.48/201. On March 20, he was at Lions for an eight-car show and it looked as though it was a repeat of the last event. He got out of shape and shut off in the first round, losing to Dale Pulde. Once again, he got back into the show when another car was unable to make the semis. He faced eventual winner Pulde in Mickey Thompson's Boss 429 powered Pinto for the second time and once again the results were the same. Dale's 7.06 beat Gene's 7.12. On March 27, he was at OCIR for the final All-Pro race. A first-round 7.08/202.70 lost to Shiroma's 6.95/211.

Notes: The race car was a gutted '66 Mustang steel shell with a Cal Auto glass front end, doors and deck lid, and Tom Hanna tin. 120" exhibition Engineering chrome-moly tube frame, 448" early hemi (392 with a half-inch CT stroker), B&M TorqueFlite trans, 2050 lbs. The car was destroyed in a crash at Alton, Illinois, in September 1967, seriously injuring longtime S-W-C shoe Cook and causing his retirement from racing. Seven-page feature in Drag Strip 4/67, including the full-page color plate. 5-page feature in Car Craft 3/67, including color plate and cutaway illustration. Doug ran an 8.19 track record at York US 30. | Doug qualified second with an 8.54/167.81 at the Irwindale New Year's Funny Car race. He lost in the first round. He was at Lions shortly after that (January 8) to make some test passes. The car went 8.48 and 8.98 on its first two passes before Cooke drove it to a final 8.50/166.97 and called it a day. At the Bakersfield Meet on February 19, the Stone, Woods & Cook team ran in the 2400 lb. fuel Funny Car class and won with a final round 8.58/159 over Al Vanderwoude. He raced "Jungle Jim" Liberman on March 5 for a best of three match race at Beeline, but Doug lost two straight. On March 11, he was in Texas for a best of three match against Arnie Beswick at San Antonio. Doug beat Arnie two straight. The next day, the same two squared off again at Green Valley. Cook, once again, won two straight, running a best of 8.64/168 over the Pontiac. Another match race win came at Alton on March 19, where he took on Gary Dyer driving the "Mr. Norm" Charger. It was a good match, with Doug winning the first race with an 8.51/157.61 over Dyer's 8.72/164. The Mustang got a little crossed up in the second race, and a quicker 8.82 couldn't catch the Charger's 8.87. Cook really laid one down in the final, running an 8.32 to win the match. The Mustang was towed into Lakeland on April 2 with a blown engine from the night before. Cook was there for a best of three match against Joe Lunati. Larry Reyes filled in for the first race with the "Kingfish." After that, Doug and his crew had the Mustang up for the second race. Doug then won the match two straight with runs of 8.69/165.13 and 8.74/164.83. The following week, he was at York US 30 for another match against Malcolm Durham. Doug won three straight, turning a career-best 8.19 at 169.17 in the first race. Times of 8.22/169.17 and 8.23/169.48 wrapped up the match. Doug ran a best-of-three-match race against Don Gay's GTO at Englishtown on April 30. It didn't start so well when just before the first race, the rear end let go on the Mustang, and Gay soloed for the win. After fixing the car, Doug came back to win the next race with an 8.40/165.44 when Don fouled. Cook also won the final and deciding race with an 8.35/166.66 beating the GTO's 8.64/160. In July, he won the Supercharged Invitational held at Capitol Raceway. He stopped Dyer in the final. On July 22, he was at Motor City Dragway for a four-car show. The Mustang broke on the line against Bob Sullivan in the first round. But in the second round, Doug beat Arnie Beswick with an 8.50/165.74. He improved on that time in his third race, where he beat Paula Murphy with an 8.43. Shortly after that, he was at Alton for a best of three match against Jim Thornton driving the "Ramchargers" Dart. The Dodge won the first race with an 8.38/171 that beat Cook's slightly quicker 8.36/166.66. In the second race, Doug was ready, and when the light went green, he got a holeshot on Jim, and his 8.37/167.59 beat Thornton's 8.95/168. Doug saved his best for last by running 8.29 in the final race to win the match. Shortly after that, he won the AHRA Summernationals at New York with a 7.99/176.05 in the final. In the middle of August, he was at York for a best of three match against Eddie Schartman. Cook won two straight. This was big as the factory Comets were still considered the cars to beat. In their first race, Schartman got out of shape and shut off while Doug ran 8.29 for the win. In the second race, he ran 8.07 to beat the Comet's 8.60 by more than half a second. The Mustang broke after that, and Ed saved face with an 8.36 solo run. Shortly after that (August 18), Doug was at 75/80 for a match race against "Jungle Jim" Liberman. Doug's 8.73/165.13 won their first race, but Jim came back to win the second with an engine blowing 8.58/161 that won when Cook fouled. Doug then made a solo for the match race victory, but what a solo it was as he reset both ends of the track record with an 8.27/170.13. In September, a crash at Alton was attributed to the addition of a new rear decklid spoiler. The car had been running strong, and Cook wanted to try a rear spoiler on the car to see what it would do. He wanted the car to stay glued to the track harder and thought it would help. Tim Woods tried to talk Doug out of using the spoiler and even had Gene Adams talk to Doug and suggest another way of keeping the car planted. Adams thought that a lower rear gear might help. Doug felt that this would cause the engine to rev too high and blow. So, the rear spoiler stayed on the car. Just four days before his serious accident, he ran it into a cornfield as his 'chute failed to open due to the spoiler. At the top end of the track, he carried the front wheels six inches in the air, giving him no steering control until he popped the 'chute. He crashed hard in the lights after running 179 mph at Alton. The car was a total loss, and he had extensive injuries. That ended his driving career.

Notes: Blown fuel, rear-engine exhibition racer. Former Dick Branstner, Roger Lindamood-campaigned 1965 "Dart Charger." Garlits originally painted this car white with polka dots and called it the "Polka Dart." Promoters insisted it carry his name and be black, so it was painted that way. Garlits yanked the Dart's original TorqueFlite trans, replaced it with a direct drive unit, and moved the entire mill rearward another 13 inches. This car was destroyed in a crash in Detroit in 1966. Garlits replaced this car with the "Don Garlits Dart 2," a slingshot rail with a Dart roadster shell. | As mentioned, the Dart was wrecked in Detroit on June 11. The car went into a wheelstand in the lights at 157 mph and flipped over onto its roof. Luckily, it never got airborne but just continued sliding down the track on its roof. Emery was not hurt, and at first, it seemed that the car was not too badly damaged. However, upon further inspection, it was found that the frame was damaged pretty badly. Detroit MI, 1966 (6/24/66 Drag Times)

Notes: Photo from Pop Rod Championships, US 131 Dragway, 1983. | A 6.33 failed to qualify at the NHRA Gatornationals. A quicker 6.17/238.09 at the NHRA Springnationals still failed to make the show, but it was good enough for first alternate. At the AHRA Gateway Nationals in June, he qualified fifth with a 6.30/230.18, but he lost to low qualifier (6.05) Don Prudhomme in the first round. A 6.13/238.72 qualified sixteenth at the NHRA Summernationals, but a first-round 6.11/241.28 fell to Ken Veney's 5.91/245.90. He again qualified fifth with a 6.29/230.76 at the next AHRA race, the Summernationals at Kansas City on August 1. A first-round 6.34/233 beat low qualifier (6.09) Mike Dunn's 6.58/163. In the semifinals, Tom McEwen's 6.08/237 beat Ron's 6.29/236.84. On August 21 he ran a 6.05/238.72 to qualify twelfth at the NHRA Northstar Nationals, but Mark Oswald beat him in the first round. He lost in the first round, again (to John Force) at the NHRA US Nationals, but he qualified well, running a 5.96/243.24 for the fourteenth spot. He ran at Bristol for the IHRA Fallnationals on September 25 and qualified third with a 5.90/225 and lasted until Oswald's 5.89 dropped him in the semifinals.

Notes: Ron had a bad weekend at Gainesville in March for the NHRA Gatornationals. During qualifying, a blower exploded and blew the body off the car and high into the air. His best of 6.125/238.09 was the second alternate for the show. That was the team's only NHRA national event this year. Photo from Pop Rod 1883, Martin, MI.

Notes: Correnti qualified at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals with a 6.05/242. Unfortunately, he lost in the first round. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, his 5.97/246.98 qualified #11 and a tire-smoking 6.39/223.99 advanced over Rick Johnson who was having his own problems in the "Hawaiian." But in round two, he sheared a fuel pump, advancing Don Prudhomme. On May 19, Alamo Dragway held the NHRA Division 4 race and it also had eight-car Pro fields. A 6.59/223.88 qualified #6 and in the opening round, his 6.31/233.16 advanced when alternate Don Sosenka crossed the centerline. In the semifinals, John Martin smoked the tires against him and Ron's 6.30/232.55 moved into the final. There he faced low qualifier, John Force. Force had been running 5.9s with ease here and his final round 6.00/236 got the victory over Correnti's early shutoff pass of 6.45/191.48. The following week he was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. During qualifying, he had an engine let go and the car turned into a fireball. He had made the field (#11) on an earlier 5.907/250.69 pass so the crew worked hard to get the car fixed for eliminations. In the first round, opponent Billy Meyer crossed the centerline and was disqualified so Ron moved on with a 6.57/243.90. In round two, his 5.96/242.06 took out John Collins' 6.06/221, but a semifinal 6.00/248.20 lost to eventual winner Jim Head's 5.93/245. Ron was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #15 with a 6.03/246.84, but he fouled against Prudhomme in the first round. At the end of June, the team showed up in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals with a new T-Bird body on the car.
