Notes: In the Fall of 1971, photojournalist Jon Asher made initial runs at Orange County International Raceway in an attempt to obtain his NHRA fuel funny car license. At OCIR, he made a couple of half-track shots and a pair of timed runs an 8.71/175.78 and an 8.09/183.29. More runs would need to be made, and plans for attempts in California in early 1972 were tentatively set. The California runs never materialized, and it was decided to make the passes in March at Gainesville Raceway after the completion of the Gatornationals. Jon made three runs at Gainesville, an abbreviated run where Jon's fire boot got caught under the throttle pedal, a good straight as a string pass of 7.47/192.70, and an engine exploding, on fire pass of 8.92/82.94. Fuel funny car drivers Gary Henderson (Super Duster) and Cecil Lankford (Brand-X), along with track manager Terry Earwood signed for Jon's license. Jon also agreed that before he made any runs in competition, he would make some additional passes to get within the NHRA required National Record plus ten percent rule, which required a new licensee to make a full pass within ten percent of the current National Record. Two different articles about Jon's experiences were published in Super Stock & Drag Illustrated, "Update: Driving A Funny Car" March 1972 and "It's On Fire" July 1972. |

Notes: Larry qualified third at the 1972 NHRA Summernationals and in the first round, ran the then quickest and fastest pass in NHRA history a 6.405/228.42 that beat Tom Sneden. In the second round, he beat Sam Miller with a 6.56/225. He lost in the third round to Don Schumacher who won the event. Ran 6.575/218.97 at Indy 9/72. Ran 6.58/222.22 in winning the 1972 World Finals (and thus, the 1972 NHRA Championship). Ran 6.42/222.04 at Gainesville 12/72. This was a beautiful car with purple anodized aluminum interior. Ran one of the first Milodon aluminum motors. Fullerton ran a 6.54 at Sanair. | Every so often, a team gets a dream season. This is what Doheny and Fullerton had in '72. Their early efforts used the SOHC Ford engines before going to the early Hemi. Then when they switched to the 426 they really started to run. The addition of an Ed Pink motor had them able to set at least one end of the track record everywhere they raced from June to August. Their season got off to a slow start and I will pick them up at the Bakersfield March Meet where Fullerton lost to Gerry Glenn in the opening round. They then went to OCIR where Larry set Low ET and Top Speed at 6.78/220.04 in winning the eight-car show over Ron O'Donnell who broke a rear end in the final. Near the end of March, he picked up another win at the Race of Champions event at Fresno. The final OCIR All-Pro event featured a sixteen-car field and in round one, Larry beat Gordon Swearingen, but he lost to O'Donnell in round two. In April, they were back at OCIR for another Funny Car show, but they failed to reach the finals. They did set Top Speed again at over 220. It was late in June when they really got on a roll. On the 25 they were at Warner Robins for the National Open and while they failed to make the final, Fullerton did reset the NHRA ET record at 6.56. After qualifying #3 at the NHRA Summernationals with a 6.57, as noted above they ran the quickest and fastest speed in NHRA before slowing to an off-pace 7.37/212 losing pass in the semifinals. Of course, his 6.40/228.42 were Englishtown track records. The following week they were at Rockford for the Manufacturer's Meet where one again Fullerton broke both track records., the speed was 221.13. Unfortunately, he failed to make the final round. Up in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, Larry qualified #1 with a 6.54 (Low ET and track record), but in round one, the rear end let go and he slowed to a 6.86 loss to Don Cain's 6.65. They returned to Englishtown for a ten car show in August where Larry's 6.69/216.34 beat Lew Arrington in the opening round and a late off the line 6.62/214.28 drove around Gary Bolger in the "Golddigger" in the semifinal. He faced one of the strongest cars of '72 in the final, Ed McCulloch's Demon. The two had a great race, but Fullerton won with a 6.57 (Low ET) at 218.44 over Ed's 6.62/219. It was then off to Salem, Ohio’s Quaker City for an eight-car show. Larry lasted until the semifinals where Richard Tharp driving the "Blue Max" laid a track record 6.59 on him that stopped his 6.86. They went to Indy for the NHRA US Nationals and qualified #10 with a 6.57/218.97, but lost to eventual winner McCulloch in the first round. It looked like a sure bet that they would win over an eight-car field at Warner Robins. Larry beat Dick Rosberg in the "Fighting Irish" Camaro in the first round, with a 6.77 and he set Low ET in the semis with a 6.60/223 conquest of Roger Lindamood. But facing O'Donnell in the final, the car's transmission got stuck. Ron shut his car down to give Doheny and Fullerton time to get it fixed, but it didn't happen. O’Donnell was awarded the victory. He won the NHRA World Finals at Amarillo, but with the high elevation the times were nothing special. An opening round 6.91/183 beat Robbie Williams and in round two his 6.64 beat Paul Radici. In the semifinals, Larry’s 6.82 took out Preston Davis and moved him into the final against Jake Johnston who had earlier set Low ET at 6.51 in Gene Snow's Charger. Fullerton saved his best for last and his 6.58/222.32 got him the victory over Jake's 6.69/216. The traction was horrible at OCIR for the Manufacturer's Meet and Larry failed to qualify for the eight-car Ford team even though the "bump" was just a 7.39. He was actually the second alternate for the team. The team was expecting big numbers at Ontario for the NHRA Supernationals, but while everyone else stepped up, their times remained the same and Larry only qualified #7. In the first round, he lost a blower belt while doing his burnout allowing Bobby Rowe a single into round two. It was weirder still when the team failed to qualify for the Miami National Open's eight-car show in December. They rebounded nicely the following week at Gainesville for the Turkey Trot race. Fullerton qualified #1 with a 6.68 and then improved to 6.64 in the first round, over Shirl Greer. In the semifinals, a 6.75 stopped Cliff Brown and in the final, he really picked it up to a 6.42/222.04 to stop Paul Smith's 6.60/216 in the "Fireball Vega." That was by far the best season this team had. |

Notes: Gave the car away at Ontario 78. | Dave qualified #7 at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals. A 7.00/205 beat Ezra Boggs in the first round, but in the second round, his 7.08/211 lost to John Collins' 6.90/216. Times were a little more normal at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where his 6.367/226.70 qualified #10 on 2/04/78. Dave's 6.47/216 in the first round, lost to Tommy Ivo's 6.38/220. His next stop was at Beeline Dragway for the Phoenix Winter Championships. It was a sixteen car field and his 6.35/231.36 qualified #4. He was upset in the first round where his off-pace 7.05/228.42 lost to Gene Modlin's 7.09/195. He also lost early at the Bakersfield March Meet where his tire-smoking 6.55/217.91 lost to John Force's 6.39/212 in round one.Dave was at Fremont on April 2 for the NHRA Division Seven race.

Notes: Williams was driving this car on March 15 at the Dallas season opener. He raced against Mike Burkhart three times and lost all three races running a best of 7.89 in the first race. His other two runs were 8.25 and 7.95. Bernie qualified #10 at Dallas for the NHRA Springnationals on June 14 at 7.42/201. He fouled in the first round, against eventual winner Leroy Goldstein in the "Ramchargers" Challenger but ran a consistent 7.442/197.36. That was the team's only NHRA national event. |

Notes: In the Fall of 1971, photojournalist Jon Asher made initial runs at Orange County International Raceway in an attempt to obtain his NHRA fuel funny car license. At OCIR, he made a couple of half-track shots and a pair of timed runs an 8.71/175.78 and an 8.09/183.29. More runs would need to be made, and plans for attempts in California in early 1972 were tentatively set. The California runs never materialized, and it was decided to make the passes in March at Gainesville Raceway after the completion of the Gatornationals. Jon made three runs at Gainesville, an abbreviated run where Jon's fire boot got caught under the throttle pedal, a good straight as a string pass of 7.47/192.70, and an engine exploding, on fire pass of 8.92/82.94. Fuel funny car drivers Gary Henderson (Super Duster) and Cecil Lankford (Brand-X), along with track manager Terry Earwood signed for Jon's license. Jon also agreed that before he made any runs in competition, he would make some additional passes to get within the NHRA required National Record plus ten percent rule, which required a new licensee to make a full pass within ten percent of the current National Record. Two different articles about Jon's experiences were published in Super Stock & Drag Illustrated, "Update: Driving A Funny Car" March 1972 and "It's On Fire" July 1972. |
