Notes: Rosberg was in Las Vegas in February for the Stardust National Open. It was an eight-car show, and he lasted until the semifinal before losing to eventual winner Don Enriquez. On March 9, he was at OCIR for an eight-car show. His 7.89/189.06 qualified #6, but in the opening round, he lost to Bob Muravez in the "Freight Train." The following week (March 16), he went to Riverside for the HRM Championships. The eight-car field had a 7.77 "bump," and Dick failed to qualify. He was back at OCIR on May 10, where his 7.65 qualified #3 in the eight-car field. Muravez blew one of his engines in the first round against him, so Rosberg advanced with a 7.99/190.66. In the semifinal, his 7.72/198.66 lost to Walt Rhoades' 7.74/198. Lions held an eight-car show at the end of the month, and Rosberg qualified #6 with a 7.72. A slightly better 7.70/193.54 in the first round fell to Norm Wilcox's 7.56/191. From there, it was back to OCIR on June 7. Dick qualified #1, and as only seven cars showed, he got the "odd-lot" solo in round one. In the semifinal, he advanced with a 7.79/187.10 when Denny McCarrell fouled. He faced Dave Russell in the final, and he fouled away a 7.73/192.30 while Russell ran an easy 8.41128 for the victory. At Dallas, for the NHRA Springnationals, Dick's 7.81/191.48 qualified on the "bump" for the sixteen car field. He improved to 7.72/191.48 in the first round that advanced over a fouling Jack Mitchell. In round two, he lost to Phil Hobbs. Dick ran 7.63 at the Indy Nationals. |
