Notes: Armstrong followed the path least traveled by relying on a strong-running 352" small block Chevy for power. He claimed to never deviate from a diet of 20 percent nitro (in alky). The combo was good enough to set low qualifying time (8.33) for funnies at the AHRA Championship at Lions in late July 1966. - RT | Armstrong ran this car three different ways in 1966: injected fuel, blown fuel coupe, and blown fuel as a roadster, pictured here. This is the car he ran in 1965. In 1967, he stretched the now roofless Chevy II. In 1968, the car was run by Ron Lorenz and John Wright. - DD | On November 27, at the Lions East-West Meet, Dale put Frank Pedregon's Chrysler Hemi in the car. He ran 9.32 in the opening round to beat Eddie Marcek's Mustang, and he got out of shape in round two, where he lost to Ronnie Runyan. |

Notes: Dale was at Irwindale for the New Year's Funny Car race on January 2, but he failed to qualify for the eight-car show. He went to Lions on January 8, and he now had Frank Pedregon's blown Hemi in the car where the small-block Chevy had resided. He was not in competition with anyone as there were only a few cars making check-out passes. After running 9.03/162.45, Armstrong came back out for another pass but ended up sending two rods through the block of Frank's engine. On March 19, Carlsbad had 15 cars trying to make its eight-car Funny Car show. Dale qualified #7 with an 8.89, but in the first round, he lost a transmission and could not race against Butch Leal. | Armstrong swapped his blown 352" small block Chev for a semi-hemi in '67. Glass nose also replaced previous year's stock-trimmed front quarter. (Unknown if the entire roadster shell was replaced with the one-piece unit pictured.) - RT |

Notes: A 5/10/74 National Dragster says this car ran 7.50s in 1969. Confirmed times are listed. Fiberglass Trends body. Dale qualified #8 out of forty cars attempting to make sixteen spots with a 7.89 at Irwindale's New Year's Day race. But in the first round, the car was ailing. He lost to a 10.38 by Clyde Morgan. At Beeline in Jan for the AHRA Winternationals, he lost to Dick Harrell's 7.83 in the first round. Thirty-five cars showed to do battle for eight spots at the second OCIR All-Pro on February 9, and Armstrong's 7.69/187.88 qualified #5, but again he lost early. Another first-round loss came on February 22 at Lions when Randy Walls beat him. A month later, on March 22, he failed to qualify at Lions when 22 cars showed for the eight spots. On April 26, he qualified for a sixteen-car show at Irwindale, but a first-round 8.20/191 by Ed Lenarth stopped his 8.29/170.77. On May 3 at OCIR's second annual Manufacturer's Funny Car Open, Gas Ronda's 8.29/176 beat Dale in his first race, and an 8.22/182.18 won his second race when Gordon Mineo fouled away a 7.92/182. He was at Lions for an eight-car show on May 24, and his 7.85 qualified on the "bump." This was pretty good, considering 19 cars were attempting to qualify. He slowed to an 8.11/183.67 loss to eventual winner Dave Beebe in the first round. After the loss, he came back out to race Hank Clark in the Rebel SST in a consolation race. He beat the AMC with an 8.46/179.28. On June 8 at Seattle for the Travelon's Fuel Championships, he again lost in the first round, to Mike Miller's 8.17. |

Notes: Dale had a bit of bad luck at OCIR on May 2 for the Big Four Championships. He was lined up against Don Hampton for his first-round race when the car caught fire. He got out OK and the fire was quickly put out, but he was out of competition for the day. He raced at the fourth AHRA Grand American at Frontier International Raceway where he qualified with an 8.03. A first-round 7.93/188.17 lost to John Dekker's 7.73/191. He was back at OCIR on May 30 for the Funny Car 500, but he fouled away a 7.74 in the first round, against Wendell Shipman. Dale won over an eight-car field at the Tom Ferraro benefit race at Irwindale on June 6. He beat Bob Smith in the first round, with a 7.85/184.80, and in the semifinals he ran an easy single. In the final, he set Low ET of the meet with a 7.73/187.50 to beat Hampton for the victory. At Lions on June 13 for the All-American series race, he qualified for the eight-car show and in round one, beat Smith's 7.95/163 in "Bad Bascomb's Ghost" with a 174.75. Unfortunately, his Challenger came up ailing in the semifinals and he could only coax a 10.01 out of it that lost to Gene Conway's 7.27/196. At the OCIR Anniversary Race on August 15, Dale won his first-round race with a 7.90/170.45, but the car burst into flames in the traps. The Challenger was extensively damaged, but Dale walked away with only slight shoulder burns. |

Notes: Times and info from National Dragster, 6/27/75. Ran 7.01/200.44 (National Record) in AA/A and 6.72 (National Record) in BB/FC. | Dale Armstrong started the season running this AA/Altered until his new Satellite was ready in May. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, Dale qualified #3 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.91. An opening round 6.92 beat Mike Clancy's AA/DA at 7.31, but in round two, his 6.96 fell to Wayne Stoeckel's quick-leaving 7.01. |

Notes: Possibly the baddest BB/FC in history. Armstrong became the first to break the 6.7, 6.6, and 6.5-second barriers in 1975. Set Low ET of 6.56 at OCIR Manufacturers' Funny Car Championship in November 1975. Photo from the 1975 NHRA Springnationals, National Trail Raceway, Columbus, Ohio. After this run, the BB/FC records were retired in March 1976. The 6.50s were not seen again until 1979. - TN | Set National Record 6.72 in Sacramento. Won the NHRA World Finals over Ken Veney, who redlighted in the final. |

Notes: The funny car headers looked pretty cool. Low qualifier at IHRA Bristol 1976 at 6.85/205.01. Low ET and Top Speed at NHRA Indy at 6.65/209.30. Dale was runner-up to Dave Settles when he fouled away a 6.71/209.30 in the final. Did the AA/DA go 6.47 as well or is this the famous funny car time? |

Notes: Armstrong's new Satellite appeared without paint at the IHRA World Nationals in the first week of May. It was an eight-car show, and in the opening round, his 6.92/205.82 beat Ed Renck's 7.30/157. Another 6.92/205.82 in the semifinal advanced when Wilfred Boutilier broke. He faced Dave Settles in the final, and Dale ran his third 6.92 (at 202.19) to win over Settles' 7.01. The following week, he took it to Sacramento, where he beat Lou Gasparelli in the final and set Low ET and Top Speed at 6.57/213. Dale qualified #1 at Beech Bend for the NHRA Sportsnationals with a 6.77 (Low ET). He then ran 6.83/204.54 to beat Jeg Coughlin's 7.03/196 in the first round, followed by a 6.81 over Settles, who lost an engine in round two. A strong 6.79/205.47 beat Ken Veney's 6.99/203 in the semifinals. This moved him into the final against Boutilier. The two had a close race, but Armstrong's 6.83/204.08 got the victory over Boutilier's 6.86/203. Dale also ran 6.57 at 213 and a confirmed 212 in November 1976, along with the 6.47. | A '76 PHR Yearbook showed Armstrong at Beech Bend experimenting with a polished, box-type Crower. - Joe Moore |

After an easy first-round win, he ran a second round 6.98 to advance to the semifinals where he broke against Richard Ogg. Confirmed 6.47/212 Fremont by 1977. Won 1977 IHRA Winternationals and Dixie Nationals. We need to confirm that was in the dragster or the funny car. 6.58 OCIR 209.30 Fremont National Records. Ran 6.75 at Gainesville, 6.81 at Bowling Green, 6.76 at Columbus, 6.72 at Englishtown, 6.60 at Indy, and 6.56 at Seattle.

Notes: Dale debuted a unique alcohol/nitrous oxide combination in his Satellite on January 1 at Sacramento. The car used nitrous as well as a small percentage of nitro. He was there for a best-of-three-match race against Tommy Ivo. Armstrong lost all three races, recording a best of 6.72/206 compared to Ivo, who ran a best of 6.22/214 in winning the match. Dale ran 6.50/214.79 at the PRO event at Beeline on 1/14/77. Confirmed 6.48 per Bret Kepner. | In a December '77 Drag News interview, AA/Dale drew a picture of how part of the problem was that the injector nozzles were pointed directly at each other. The Surfers (or maybe anybody who used) Hilborns had offset nozzles, with pictures. - Joe Moore |
