Notes: Randy qualified #2 at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals with a 5.84/239.93. In the opening round, he beat Stan Smith's 6.10/230 with a 5.88/237.59. In the second round, his off-pace 6.03/233.22 lost to Jackie Stidham's 5.97/233. He did better at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. His 5.89/240.00 qualified second to Pat Austin's 5.79/245. A 5.97/237.34 defeated Tim Wilkerson's 6.10/214 in round one, and a 5.92/239.04 in the second round took out Kim Fritts. In the semi-finals, he had a good race against Bob Newberry that saw his 5.90/239.48 beat Bob's 5.93/234. He faced Frank Manzo in the final, and Anderson picked up NHRA career-win number 3 with a 5.90/238.53 that stopped Manzo's 5.95/235. World champ in 1993. Set the national record in Atlanta Southern Nats on 4/93 at 239.55 mph. |

Notes: Meyer started the '82 season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #2 with a 5.97/241.28. In the first round, his tire-smoking 6.38/240.64 beat Dennis Geisler. In the second round, he was upset as Doc Halladay's 6.10/234 beat his 6.18/238.72. At the NHRA Gatornationals, a 6.13/239.99 qualified #12. He beat Mike Dunn's 6.31/232 in the "Hawaiian" in the first round, with a 6.29/237.46. But in round two, he lost to John Force. In April, he was at OCIR's 64 car show, where he reached the final only to have his 6.11 finish runner-up to Don Prudhomme's 6.00.The next NHRA event was the Southern Nationals in Atlanta. Meyer qualified #1 for the tough eight-car field with a 5.89/249.30 (Top Speed). In the opening round, he slowed to 6.22/207.85 and lost to Paul Smith's 6.05/241 in the "Entertainer." He then went to Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. He qualified #3 in the eight-car show with a 6.02 and lasted until the semifinals when he shut off due to tire shake and lost to John Pott in Larry Coogle's "Sting." Shortly after that, he was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals, where he got another runner-up finish. His 6.38/247.23 (Top Speed) finished second best to Raymond Beadle's 6.35/233 in the "Blue Max." His next stop was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. This was another eight-car field, and his 6.00/242.58 qualified #3. In the first round, Meyer's 6.09/244 beat Tripp Shumake's 6.21/235. But he smoked the tires in the semi-final and shut off against Prudhomme. He was also running really well at Columbus in mid-June for the NHRA Springnationals, where his 5.96/246.57 qualified second behind Prudhomme's 5.92/248. Meyer beat Smith in round one before losing to eventual winner Frank Hawley, who was driving the "Chi-Town Hustler" in round two. The following week (June 20), he was at Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals. He really found some horsepower as his 5.92/254.23 (Top Speed and a new track record) qualified second to Beadle's 5.88. He also ran 253.52 on an earlier qualifying pass. Although Meyer lost to Tom Anderson in the first round, his speed was tops for the meet, even better than the TF dragsters! He didn't run as well as he hoped to at the NHRA Grandnationals, where his 6.08/240.64 qualified #6 in the eight-car show. In the first round, his 6.23/223.88 fell to Hawley's 6.10/224. The car continued to make power at Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. Billy qualified #1 and once again set Top Speed of the meet over TF cars as well with a 254.23. But he smoked the tires in the opening round and lost to John Pott. Doing it at the IHRA events was one thing, but when he got to Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals and did it again, well, that was another thing. He reset both ends of the NHRA record with backed-up 5.829/254.95 marks during qualifying. Once again, he had Top Speed of the meet as Mark Oswald had Top Speed for the TF cars with a 254.23. Billy then ran 5.89/250.69 in the first round over Hawley. But that dreaded tire smoke did him in for round two, where he dialed in too much power and lost to Mike Dunn in the "Hawaiian." Meyer was in Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals at the end of July. He set Low ET and Top Speed during qualifying at 6.12/240.00 (Top Speed over TF cars as well). His time would have qualified #5 for TF. He then defeated Rob Williams' 6.47 with a 6.14/236.22, and a 6.19/223.88 took out Kenny Bernstein's 6.17/233 in the semi-final. He faced the "Blue Max" in the final, and Beadle shut down to 6.85/149 while Meyer ran 6.16/235.60 for the victory. He almost followed that up with another win the week later (August 8) when he finished runner-up to Dale Pulde at Bristol for the IHRA Summernationals. Shortly after that, he was back at OCIR for its Summer Showdown event. Billy showed up with his new EXP and ran 6.07/217.38 on his first qualifying pass. On his second attempt, the car broke a rear end. He then unloaded his Firebird and used it in the race.In round one, his 5.92/251.39 (Top Speed) beat Jim Dunn's 6.29/231. Dunn's run qualified him for the semi-final as ten cars had run the first round, with the four lowest ETs advancing to the final four. So, once again, the two raced with the same results. This time, Meyer ran 5.98/249.30 over Jim's 6.24/213. He faced the Low ET car of John Lombardo in the final, and both had horrible runs, but Meyer's troubled 8.21/107 got the win over John's 10.17. He was nowhere near as fast as the TF dragsters at Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals. Meyer continued to run his Firebird here as he would in all the remaining NHRA events. He qualified #4 for the eight-car show with a 5.98/250.00 (Top Speed), but at this event, Oswald reset the NHRA top fuel speed record to 256.41. Meyer's opponent, Anderson, fouled in the first round, so he advanced with a 6.18/218.96. In the semi-final, his 6.08/247.93 lost to eventual winner Hawley's 5.97/238. Billy became the second funny car over 250 on July 17, 1982, with a 250.69 at the NHRA Summernationals (second entry in the Crane Cams 250 MPH Club for Funny Car). His 254.95 was the highest speed of the year except for Oswald's top fuel car, which went 256 and 255 (twice). | In May, at an OCIR open 8-car MD benefit event, Billy Meyer won FC, Johnny Abbott TF. That '97 at Pomona was off and on the throttle, tire shake. Bill Flournoy from '81 was still the CC at the beginning of the year. An NOS ad in May '82, prior to his OCIR/Muscular Dystrophy win, said he'd been 252 in Ohio. Salem? A check-out run at the MD event: 6.11/246. Meyer used a Larry Minor TF motor, a Crower box, and the whole nine at the 64-FC OCIR events. In week two, they removed the scoop for visibility. Absent week two: Burgin, Iverson, whose Camaro broke something expensive-sounding on the dry hop at the first one. - Joe Moore |

Notes: Meyer started the '83 season by qualifying #11 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.281/231.95. He smoked the tires in the first round and shut off to an 11.52 that lost to Gary Burgin's 5.94. A week before Gainesville, he was in Atlanta for an eight-car show. The traction was horrible, and it only took a 7.48 to qualify. Still, guys like Raymond Beadle and Kenny Bernstein failed to better that mark and qualify! Meyer's 6.42 got him the #4 spot in the field. Unfortunately, he fouled against Rick Johnson in the first round. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #15 with a 6.05/225.00, but once again, he went out early. In the first round, his 6.22/184.04 lost to Mike Dunn's 5.87/247 in the "Hawaiian." Meyer qualified on the "bump spot" for the eight-car show at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. A 6.56/220 just made the field, but he lost to Beadle in the "Blue Max" in the first round. Early in April, OCIR held its first of two 64-car shows. All 22 Fuel FCs were to make two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Meyer made the final by making runs of 5.97/218.44 over Dale Pulde and 5.86/228.42 over John Force. His final-round opponent was Tripp Shumake, who had reached the final with 5.93 and 5.74 runs, so he had his work cut out. Billy overpowered the track in the final and went up in smoke. He shut off to 11.52 while Shumake ran 6.37 for the win. The following week (April 9), OCIR held another 64-car show run in the same format. Once again, Meyer reached the final, but things didn't look too promising in the first round, where his 6.19/222.77 lost to Jim Dunn's 6.17/240. He stepped up to 5.98/230.76 in his second race over Prudhomme, who had shut off on the line. This time, he would face Force in the final, who had gotten there with a 5.91. Billy ran 6.06/233.16 to get the victory over Force. He was back in Atlanta on April 17 for the NHRA Southern Nationals, where he failed to qualify for the eight-car field with a 6.03/240.64 (first alternate) best. The following week, he was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Rain postponed the race until May 1. He qualified #6 (another eight-car show) with a 6.11 but failed to make the finals. Meyer must have been wondering what was going on by this time, as he had run so well in '82. But NHRA had made a rule change for '83, outlawing the use of Nitrous Oxide. Billy had been using it in '82. The NHRA Cajun National was run at Baton Rouge near the end of May, and Billy's 6.04/228.42 qualified #5 in the eight-car field. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Mark Oswald, who was driving for "Candies and Hughes." Meyer smoked the tires and shut down to 10.08/77.38 while Oswald advanced at 6.21/229. Shortly after that (June 5), he was in Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. Only Oswald had outdone him in qualifying, but Meyer lost to Prudhomme in the first round. The following week, he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, where he ran 6.00/230.17 to qualify #7. But as was the case for most of the year, he had problems in the first round and slowed to 9.12/83.79 and lost to Burgin's 6.27/235. He then went to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, where his 6.16 best failed to qualify for the tough eight-car show. Billy's best times came at the World Finals at OCIR, where he qualified #2 at 5.752/246.57. | Billy Meyer downed Raymond Beadle in the final at the Golden Gate Nationals, 5.75 to 5.78, in what was then the quickest side-by-side Funny Car race of all time. Meyer finished second to Frank Hawley in the 1982 points battle but had slumped badly in 1983, winning just one round of competition heading into the Baylands event. Meyer was not even ranked in the top 10, but after qualifying sixth with a 5.90, his Chief Auto Parts, 7-Eleven Pontiac came to life with a 5.84 in the semis and a 5.75 in the final against low qualifier Beadle. - NHRA | At the '83 Finals, monster-sounding, wheel-lifting, dry hops off the starting line (r/h lane)in round 1. OCIR was one of the tracks where both fences were equidistant to the track, the spectator side just as close a view as the tower side. Tower side was a SIR habit I brought. - Joe Moore |

Notes: Billy qualified #12 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He faced Don Prudhomme in the first round, and his 6.18/241 beat the "Snake's" 6.32/201. Meyer lost to eventual winner Tom Hoover in round two. He qualified #5 at the NHRA Gatornationals with a 6.28/241.28, and in the first round, his 6.35/239.36 beat Dale Pulde, who smoked the tires, but a 6.37/236 in round two lost to Prudhomme's 6.31/236. He failed to qualify at the rain-postponed NHRA Cajun Nationals. His next stop was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. A 6.17/241.93 qualified #5, but an off-pace 6.68/170.45 in the opening round lost to Prudhomme's 6.21/228. Billy ran really well at Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. Although he "only" qualified #4 in the eight-car field, he made it into the final, where his 6.51 beat Raymond Beadle's 6.86 for the money. Earlier, Meyer had set a 231.36 track speed record. The following week (July 8), he won the NHRA Division 4 race at Amarillo. He did not run as well as he was used to at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. His 6.25/239.36 qualified #12, and he went down to Beadle in the first round. |

Notes: Billy was still running his Camaro when he showed up at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Unfortunately, he failed to qualify. In March, he was driving his new Arrow at the NHRA Gatornationals, where he qualified #6 with a 6.36/235. He broke an engine in the first round, but his 6.37/221 still beat Pat Foster's 6.39/230 in Joe Pisano's Firebird. A new Milodon was installed for round two, and he blew the oil pan off while running a 6.91/192 that advanced over Tim Kushi's troubled 13.51. In the semifinals, he singled with a 9.32 when Gordie Bonin failed to fire. In the final, he met Dale Pulde. This would not be easy as Pulde had been running steady 6.3s. Sure enough, Dale prevailed with a 6.42/234 over Meyer's runner-up effort of 6.52/213.77. Still, not too bad for a new car. The following week (March 19), he won the NHRA Division 4 Opener at LaPlace. He qualified #2 with a 6.56/214.79 behind Tripp Shumake's 6.52/207. Meyer set Low ET in the opening round with a 6.28 that beat Raymond Beadle, who smoked the tires in the "Blue Max." His 6.37/221.67 took out Tom Prock's off-pace 7.18/147 in the "Detroit Tiger" in the semifinal. He stopped Tom Hoover's 6.81/204 in the final with a 6.71/218.44. Early in April, he was at Fremont for the NHRA Division Seven race. He qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.21/221.67. Unfortunately, the car broke on the run, and he could not run in eliminations. His next stop was at Green Valley Raceway for the second NHRA Division Four race. His 6.34/214.79 qualified #4. He improved to 6.25/226.13 in the opening round to defeat Larry Brown. The car broke a rod in the semifinal while doing a burnout to prepare for its race against Billy Graham. Meyer was at OCIR later in April for its enormous 64 Funny Car show. He lasted until round two before losing to Ed McCulloch.Baton Rouge hosted the NHRA Cajun Nationals at the end of the month (April 30). It was an eight-car show, and Meyer qualified #6 with a 6.50/222.22. In the first round, his 6.60/229.00 fell to Hoover's 6.52/226. Billy was at Cayuga in May for the NHRA Division 1 race. He qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.45 (Low ET). He then beat Rick Johnson in the opening round with a 6.54/209.79. In round two, he got a solo as both Roy Harris and Ron Colson both had broken in their first-round match. In the final, he faced Al Segrini, and the two had a great race that saw Al's 6.56/222 beat Billy's slightly quicker 6.55/227.84 (Top Speed). Edgewater hosted an eight-car show that was to have all eight cars make three runs, with the two Low ET cars coming back to run for the final. In Billy's first race, his 6.40 beat Dale Creasy. In the second race, his 6.41 lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.12. He ran his best time in the third race, a 6.32, but he still lost to Denny Savage's 6.19. Meyer did not run quick enough to reach the final. He qualified #14 at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.32/230.17, and in the first round, his 6.40/209.30 advanced when Denny Savage shut down early with problems. But in round two, Meyer had troubles and shut down to an 8.10/113.78 loss to Tom McEwen's 6.25/215. At the beginning of the year, Meyer had switched from the KB engines he had used in '77 to Milodon engines for '78. But around the beginning of July, he ordered four new KB engines to replace the Milodon motors he had been running. Delivery was to take eight to ten weeks. He was at Byron for its Manufacturer's race, where his 6.47/218.44 beat Bill Pryor in round one. But although he set Low ET and Top Speed in his next round race against McEwen, his 6.31/238.72 lost to Tom's 6.33/214. He really qualified well at Englishtown, where a 6.060/236.84 got him the #2 spot in the field, but he was upset by Segrini in the first round. | The 6.060 was his best NHRA ET for this year, and a 241.93 at the World Finals was his best NHRA speed. Billy ran 5.99 at New England in August. Did he also run a 5.97 somewhere this year? |

Notes: Meyer tried hard to be the NHRA Funny Car Champion for '77. You have to give him credit, as he had a rough season. Before the NHRA season started, he went to Irwindale for the New Year's Day race. He made it into the final before losing to Jim Dunn. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he failed to qualify. The same thing happened at the NHRA Gatornationals, where his best of 6.76 was good for the first alternate. A week later (March 20), he was at LaPlace for the NHRA Division 4 Opener, where he took the win. He stopped off at Irwindale for the 64-car Funny Car show but failed to run well enough to reach the finals. On May 15, he was in Houston for the NHRA Division 4 race. A 6.75/203 beat Paul Smith in the first round, but he got out of shape in the semifinals against eventual winner Dale Emery and shut off to an 8.78. Meyer's next stop was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. It was only an eight-car field, and his 6.50/207.85 qualified #5, meaning that he would race low qualifier John Lombardo in the first round. John fouled in their first-round race, and Billy's 6.68/187.50 advanced. In the semifinals, he set Low ET with a 6.41/211.26 to beat Rob Bruins' 6.91/171 in the "Green Elephant." This put him into the finals against Johnny White. Unfortunately, Billy broke, and White got the win with a 6.64/197. At the NHRA Springnationals, Meyer qualified #2 with a 6.11 and lasted until the semifinals, where he broke a valve and slowed to a 7.05 loss to Bob Pickett. He did well at the Byron Manufacturer's Race, where he ran a best of 6.35. In the final, he ended up as runner-up to Don Prudhomme with his 6.44/228 losing to the "Snake's" 6.27/234. Meyer won the NHRA Division 3 race at US 131 Martin, Michigan, in July. A final round 6.22 (Low ET) at 219.31 beat Ron Colson's 6.34/218 in the "Hawaiian." It was then off to Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. He came off the trailer on Friday and blew an engine on a 6.46 qualifying attempt. After installing a new engine for Saturday's qualifying, Billy ran 6.17 to qualify the car easily, but he decided to make one more pass Saturday night. It was a 6.41. After qualifying ended, Meyer's 6.17/225.00 held for the #4 spot in the field. In the first round, Al Segrini shut down to a 12.76 while Billy hurt an engine on a 6.78. More thrashing in between rounds. In round two, he again got lucky when Dodger Glenn got out of shape and shut off the "Frantic Ford," and Meyer advanced with a 6.82/170. In the semifinals, he ran Ray Sherman, and Sherman went up in smoke, and a 6.66/193 propelled Billy into the final against Prudhomme. There, Meyer's Camaro broke, and Prudhomme soloed to the victory. He then followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the Grandnationals. It was an eight-car field, and his 6.33/216.34 qualified #4. In the opening round, Meyer's 6.54/205 beat Al Hanna's 6.47/222, but on the run, his engine let go, causing the car to go into a fireball. Meyer got it stopped, and he received second-degree burns on his hands. The Camaro body was destroyed, and the chassis was burnt pretty badly. He then borrowed Johnny White's Mustang to drive at the NHRA Division 4 race in Baton Rouge. He also borrowed Al Bergler's car. It wasn't until Indianapolis before he was back in his own car. There, he qualified in the dreaded #9 spot with a 6.18/227.84. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Prudhomme. Don's 6.14/234 beat Billy's 6.28/218.97. Everything "clicked" for Meyer in Seattle for the NHRA Fallnationals. He qualified #2 with a 6.19/213.27. He made an easy 9.56 pass in the opening round when Mike Miller's Mustang broke on his burnout. He was involved in a tire-smoking battle with Jim Adolph that saw Meyer's 6.56 coming out on top in round two. He won his semifinal race with a 6.90/195 when Gary Cochran crossed the centerline in Jim Terry's Skyhawk. That put him in the final against Dunn. Jim was to slouch as he had run 6.2s in eliminations. In the final, Dunn shut off, and Meyer got his first NHRA National Event win with a 6.53/211.26. Billy is credited with starting the semi-tractor craze to racing (see the trailer in the rear). Featured in Car Craft's Rich Man, Poor Man article. Ran 6.76 at Gainesville, 6.110 at Columbus, 6.17 at Englishtown, 6.33 at Sanair, 6.18 at Indy, and 6.19 at Ontario. |

Dave Beebe beat him in round two, 7.267/195.22 to Gene's 7.479/209.30. That was Gene's only NHRA national event of the year. |

Notes: Gene was at Beeline Dragway near the end of January for the AHRA Winternationals. Over 100 TF cars showed up to attempt to qualify for the 32-car field. His 7.74 qualified #5, but he fouled against Tommy Allen in the opening round. At Pomona, the following week, for the NHRA Winternationals, his 7.409/213.76 qualified #17. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Leroy Goldstein. Goleman got out first, and his 7.357/217.90 held on to win over Goldstein's 7.30/211. He got an easy solo in round two and ran 11.312/80.00. In the third round, he took on the always-tough Dave Beebe, and Gene improved to 7.279/216.86 to beat Beebe's 7.400/215.20. He met another formidable opponent in the semi-final, Danny Ongais. This was a close race but Gene nipped Danny 7.290/215.30 to 7.291/210.76) to take win light. He faced the Ford-powered car of Connie Kalitta in the final. Kalitta had been running about a half-a-tenth quicker throughout eliminations. The performance gap increased in the final, where Kalitta's 7.173/218.43 beat Gene's 7.466/213.76 runner-up effort. The team did not race at Bakersfield, instead choosing to race at Las Vegas for the Stardust National Open. Gene's 7.39/211.76 qualified second to Jim Dunn's 7.36. A 7.45 in the first round beat John Edmunds' late 7.31. The car failed to fire for his second-round race. Runner up to Kalitta at '67 NHRA Winternationals. Gene died in a crash at Union Grove, Wisconsin, on July 2, 1967, when a gust of wind pushed him into the center timing lights. The tail section wasn't on the car at the time, and it was eventually fitted to John Bateman's Atlas Oil Tool Spl. Confirmed 7.23/223 on the day he died at Union Grove. The actual name was Garland Goleman. Often referred to as Gene 'Coleman' in race reports. |
