Notes: Huge wheelstand: I was racing John Collins in McEwen's car first-round. They sat behind the line for a very long time while I was staged waiting for them. By the time they staged, my motor was so hot and lean that it was idling like a Cadillac. As soon as I touched the pedal, it went up all the way to the parachutes. Other than flattening the front wheels and knocking off the oil filter, it did little damage. The car went on to run a 6.52 at Seattle the next month and beat McCulloch at the 64 car show placing 4th quickest in the 32 fuel car show. As Bill Doner told us, "It sure is ugly, but it is fast. You can come back next year." - Dave Benjamin | 2 or 3 weeks later, on August 5th, he was at SIR 64, idling the 417 in the pits for what seemed like 10 minutes or more. (The body was off.) 4th quickest of the night at 6.52. - Joe Moore |

Notes: Gary started the '83 season at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals, where traction was poor. A 7.21 qualified #4, and he beat John Force in the first round with an 11.61. In the semifinal, he ran a 7.90 to beat Brian Raines "Impulse." In the final, an 11.13 was good for runner-up honors as Don Prudhomme beat him with a 7.00. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He led qualifying on Thursday with a 6.09/238.72. On Friday, he came back out and ran 6.022/243.24, qualifying #3. Gary picked up his pace to a 5.94/240.64 that stopped Billy Meyer in the first round. A second-round 6.20/237.46 got around Kenny Bernstein. He met with Tom Anderson in the semifinal, who used a 5.97/236 to stop Burgin's 6.18/234.98. He ran really well at the NHRA Gatornationals, where a 5.87/240.64 qualified second behind Mark Oswald's similar 5.87/254. In the first round, he set Low ET at 5.78 at 238.72 while beating Bernstein's 5.94/245. In the second round, he shut off and lost against Anderson. Gary then went to Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. It was an eight-car field, and he qualified second. He lasted until the semifinal before smoking the tires and losing to Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max." OCIR held its 64 Funny Car show in April. All cars were to make two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Gary's 6.35/230.76 lost to Prudhomme's 6.13/222 in his first race, and in the second, his 6.18/231.95 beat Gary Densham. Unfortunately, neither of his ETs was good enough to advance into the final. He then went to Green Valley Raceway on April 10 for the NHRA Division Four race. Normally, by '83, Fuel FCs were not part of the program. But the track wanted a full show of TF and FCs. It was an eight-car show, and Gary ran 6.29/225.56 in the opening round to beat Johnny West, and a 6.22/233.76 in the semifinal beat Tom Hoover's better 6.17/224. In the final, both he and Frank Hawley, driving the "Chi-Town Hustler," slipped and slid down the track, with Burgin getting the victory with a 6.92/221.13. He failed to qualify for the eight-car show at the NHRA Southern Nationals on April 17, where he had lots of problems and could run no better than 13.54/46.02. The following week (April 24), he was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Nationals. A 6.09 qualified #5, but he lost to Dale Pulde in the first round. Englishtown held its Springnationals race sponsored by K-Mart, and eight cars were competing. He won his first-round race with a 6.27/221.13 when R.C. Sherman's Arrow broke. In the semifinal, he ran 6.11/240.00 over Tim Grose's 6.39/222. In the semifinal, he faced the "Custom Body" car driven by Rick Johnson. In this race, Burgin was the underdog as Rick had run his first "5" in the other semifinal race. The two had a good race, but Burgin's 6.30/234.37 finished runner-up to Rick's 6.25/240. He then went to Maple Grove for its Coca-Cola Spring Championships. His seven-cylinder 6.33 qualified #1 for the eight-car field, and with rain looming, the two Low ET qualifiers met in the final. Burgin lost a blower belt, but his 6.53/220.04 still got the win over Scott Weney's 6.57/222. He did not go to Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals, but he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, where his 6.13/236.84 qualified #15. In the opening round, his 6.27/235.60 advanced over Meyer's troubled 9.12/83. A second-round 6.26/233.16 dropped Anderson's 6.29/243. He faced Beadle in the semifinal, and Gary's 6.42/171.75 lost to Beadle's 6.10/228. Shortly after that, he won the Crazy Eddie Night of Thrills race at Englishtown. He had run as well as 6.19/231.95 before he defeated Al Segrini in the final. Both had traction issues, and Burgin won with an 8.42/94.74. He made the trip to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, but he failed to qualify for the eight-car show with a 6.30 best. Later in the month (July), he was back at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, but his 6.23 best failed to qualify there as well. He skipped going to Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. In mid-August, Burgin was at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. He qualified #13 with a 6.43/214.79. He improved to 6.27/229.00 in the opening round, but it wasn't enough to beat Pulde's 6.06/230. Brainerd was the next stop on the NHRA schedule, and Gary ran 6.04/241.28 to qualify #11. He lost to Anderson's 5.88 in the opening round. This was not one of Burgin's better years, and it showed at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals, where he failed to qualify. Photo from 1982 GVRC match race. Assuming this was the Mustang, rebodied. We need to validate. We need to enter other NHRA national event times, but it looks like a best speed of 243.24 on the national event circuit. Where did the 254.23 occur? Iversen "shoehorn" body. |

Notes: In late March, Fritz was at Victoria Dragway in Texas for a best of three match race against Cecil Lankford, driving the "Brand X" Mustang. In their first race, Callier reset the track record to 7.06 at 206.16 while beating Lankford's 7.37/189. Fritz then set both ends of the track record in the second race with a 6.71/217.90. Cecil smoked the tires to 7.62/200 in his loss. The final race saw Fritz show that his times were not a fluke as he won three straight with a final 6.75/216.34 over Lankford's 7.02/211. The track records going into this match were 7.17/208.80, both held by Lankford. |

Notes: This was Fritz Callier's last year campaigning an FC. Early in '75, the car was up for sale in National Dragster. The ad stated that the Vega used a Logghe chassis and a Ramchargers-built Hemi. The car never did sell and was parked under a tree in JE Kristek's driveway on July 20, 1974. It sat there for 30 years before it was purchased by a San Antonio individual who restored it with the help of the original CKC crew. | Was Buddy Cortines out of the team at this point? |

Notes: At the Super Bowl of Drag Racing event at Firebird Raceway, John qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 5.87/245.23. That was the quickest time he ran that day on his way to winning. A first-round 8.76 advanced when John Martin crossed the centerline and, in the semifinals, an even slower 9.13 got the win when Don Prudhomme also crossed the centerline. In the final, he faced Kenny Bernstein, and after Kenny did his burnout, his reverser failed, giving Collins a solo for the win. John ran 6.66/149.50 to claim his first title of the new year. Collins started his NHRA season at Pomona for the Winternationals. He ran a 5.85/248.48 to qualify #9. Unfortunately, that set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier John Lombardo in the "Blue Max." Collins smoked the tires and lost to Lombardo's 5.66/254. He attempted to qualify for an eight-car show in Atlanta on March 10 but was the first alternate. At the Gatornationals, a 5.89/249.03 qualified #15, and in the first round, he picked up to a 5.76/246.71 to beat Jody Smart. In round two, he ran a 5.74/256.11 to beat a tire-smoking Prudhomme. But in the semifinals, Collins had to shut off to a 10.15 due to severe tire shake. He lost to Bernstein. In April at Atlanta for the Southern Nationals, John qualified #14 with a 5.99/243.11. He beat Al Segrini in the first round with a 6.02/238.47 before losing to Ed McCulloch in round two. He qualified #15 at Baton Rouge for the Cajun Nationals with a 6.01/243.50. John beat Tom McEwen in the first round with a 5.95/231.60 before losing to Ron Correnti's 5.96/242 with a 6.06/221.45 in round two. At Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals, he qualified #8 with a 5.83/244. In the first round, he beat Ed McCulloch with a 5.79/246 before losing to eventual winner Dale Pulde in round two. His next stop was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. John's 5.97/244.29 qualified #12. A first-round 5.93/241 beat Rick Johnson's quicker 5.90/249, and in the second round, another holeshot 5.98/240.51 beat McEwen's 5.91/245. But in the semifinals, his 5.94/244.96 lost to Billy Meyer's 5.82/241. A week later (June 23), he was at Brainerd for the Crown Auto US Funny Car Championships. It was an eight-car show, and in the first round, Collins' 5.82/240.32 lost to Mark Oswald's 5.82/237 in a close one. Later in a consolation race, John returned and ran another 5.82 at 252.80 to beat Lombardo's 6.08/218. John made the trip to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, where he qualified #11 with a 5.86/252.38. Both he and McEwen ran 5.86 (Collins at 246.84) in round one, but McEwen got the win light. John set Low ET and Top Speed at NHRA Brainerd at 5.712/257.14 to qualify #1. He finished as a runner-up to John Force at that event. Those were his best times of the year. John went on to win the NHRA Fallnationals at Phoenix. |

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. |

Notes: Force started his season at the OCIR Grand Premiere race. It was an eight-car show, and John showed up carrying brand new "Mountain Dew" colors on his Citation. In the opening round, his opponent Tom McEwen got out of shape and shut off. John ran 6.49/190.67 to advance. In the semifinals, it was Force who got out of the groove and had to shut down, giving eventual winner Hawley an easy(?) 6.13/230 run to the final. John was also in Tucson in January for the AHRA Winternationals. He qualified for the eight-car field, but he fouled against Tripp Shumake in the first round. He failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His best of 6.30/215.31 was the eighth alternate for the show. He did make the field at the NHRA Gatornationals, where John's 6.17/240.64 got the final spot in the sixteen-car field. He improved to a 6.11/240.64 in the first round, to beat Bob Hilton, and in round two, a 6.43/230.76 got around Billy Meyer, but in the semifinals, his 6.26/238.09 lost to Hawley's 6.05/234 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." Force went to Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet, but his 6.40/227.90 failed to qualify for the eight-car show. He did win the NHRA Division 6 Opener at OCIR on March 28. In the final, Craig Epperly fouled against him. John was at Tulsa on May 2 for the AHRA Springnationals. He lost in the semifinals when his 6.69/192.71 fell to Don Prudhomme's 6.37/238. He qualified #7 in the eight-car field at St. Louis for the AHRA Gateway Nationals. He advanced past round one with a 6.59 when McEwen crossed the centerline and was disqualified. He was late off the line in the semifinals, and his 6.51/233.77 lost to Tom Hoover's 6.57/208. The following week (June 13), he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Force qualified #8 with a 6.075/239.36. He beat Shumake in the first round, but in round two, he lost to Tom Anderson. He lost to Gary Burgin in the opening round at Kansas City for the AHRA Summernationals, where he qualified #6 in the eight-car show. On August 15, he was at Bonneville Raceway for the AHRA Western Nationals. In the first round, he ran 6.63/175.35 to beat Johnny West's 6.67/218. Mike Miller's 6.33/217 lost to John's 6.28/232.56 in the semifinal. He faced the "Snake" in the final, and Prudhomme was running insane numbers at this race, like 5.86 for Low ET, while the Top Fuel Low ET was just 5.85. So the final was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Sure enough, Force's 6.37/205.02 finished second best to Don's 5.99/223. Just one week later (August 22), he was at Spokane for the AHRA World Finals. But there, he lost to Ed McCulloch in round one. He got a big win at OCIR's Parade of Champions Funny Car race in September. John's best NHRA national event times were the 6.075 at Columbus and 240.64 at Gainesville. | At the last nitro points race at OCIR in March '82, Force won over Epperly in an all-Citation final. - Joe Moore |

Notes: The strip was so bad at Tucson on January 23 that Force qualified last in the eight-car field for the AHRA Winternationals with an 8.58. He lost to eventual winner Don Prudhomme in the first round. At Pomona, Times were a little more normal for the NHRA Winternationals, where he ran 6.08/243.90 to qualify #5. In the first round, he improved to a 6.01/238.09 to beat Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max." He round two, his 6.68/196.07 lost to Tom Anderson's 6.11/242. He then went to Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet, where he qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.03/243.24. But in the opening round against Tim Grose, the car went into heavy tire shake, and John shut it down to an 8.39/104. At the NHRA Gatornationals, John ran an excellent 5.88/240.64 to qualify #3. He beat Al Segrini in the first round with a 6.18/227.27. But in round two, he fouled away a 5.95 against Mike Dunn. Not only had he fouled, but to add insult to injury, he didn't realize it, made a hard run, and blew the motor in the lights. The car went into a fireball that was quickly put out, and he was OK. Early in April, he was at OCIR for its 64-car show. All cars were to make two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. In his first race, he smoked the tires and lost to Henry Harrison.In the second race, he did it again against Billy Meyer and shut down to 10.86. Needless to say, he did not run quick enough to reach the final. OCIR did it again the following week (April 9). The race was run in the same format. In the first race, John's 6.20/225.56 beat an engine-blowing Don Prudhomme. He set Low ET and Top Speed in his second race with a 5.91/248.61 that defeated Gary Densham. He lined up against Meyer in the final, and, unfortunately, he lost to Meyer's 6.06. NHRA held its Southern Nationals in Atlanta on April 17, and it was a hard field to break into as it was only an eight-car field. The drivers who failed to qualify included Ken Bernstein, Beadle, Meyer, Gary Burgin, Dale Pulde, and Mike Dunn. John made the show, running 5.94/241.93 for the #4 spot. In the first round, his 6.12/230.17 lost to Ken Veney's 6.03/233. John set Low ET and Top Speed of the Fuel Wars event at Fremont in April at 5.94/241 in the final but was considered the runner-up as Mike Miller won all three of his races. The other cars were the Pisano car and Dale Pulde. Winner of the OCIR Son of 64 Funny Car 4/83 with a 5.91. He was at Tulsa in early May for the AHRA Springnationals. A 6.88 qualified #7 in the eight-car field, but he lost to Jim White in the first round. Shortly after, he was in Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals.It was another eight-car show; he was the first alternate at 6.10/237.46. At the NHRA Springnationals, a 6.08/239.36 qualified #12. An opening round 6.01/246.52 beat Bernstein's 6.25/237, but John could not stop and crashed the car into the catch net. The team repaired the car for round two but smoked the tires and shut it off to 10.37/69.82 in a loss to Mark Oswald's 6.18/241 in the "Candies and Hughes" car. He then went to St. Louis for the AHRA Gateway Nationals. He qualified in the field's top half (#4) with a 6.23/215.32, but he improved to 6.07/240.01 in the opening round over White. But again, he fell to that dreaded tire smoke in the semifinal, where he lost to Tom McEwen. Early in July, he traveled to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. His 6.06/233.16 qualified #7 for the eight-car field. In the first round, his 6.08/240 lost to Mark Oswald's controversial 5.62/240.At Englishtown, for the NHRA Summernationals, his 5.94/243.90 qualified #4.He ran 6.01/243.24 in the first round to beat Dunn's 6.11/229 in the "Hawaiian." A great light combined with a 6.03/241 in the second round defeated Veney's quicker 5.96/245.Prudhomme encountered tire shake against him in the semifinal and shut off while Force advanced with a 6.01/247. His string of 6.0s continued into the finals, but the 6.00/245.23 he ran finished runner-up to Oswald's 5.92/251.At the end of the month (July 30), he was in Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. He qualified on the "bump" for the eight-car show with a 6.22/232.55. He and Beadle had a really close first-round race that saw John's 6.22/238.09 beat the "Blue Max's" 6.22/239. In the semifinal, he fell off to 6.40/193.13, losing to Anderson's 6.16/220. John won a summer match race event at OCIR with a 5.89 in the final. He also ran 5.78 at 249.30 at the OCIR World Finals, ending as runner-up to John Lombardo. He became the 8th and final entry in the Crane Cams 250 MPH Club for Funny Car with a 250.69 pass at NHRA Indianapolis on September 3, 1983. Good stuff on the NHRA tour with competitive runs all over and best times of 5.782 at the OCIR Finals and the 250.69 at Indy. | Video link from AHRA Tucson 1983. |
