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

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

Notes: Dale was driving this car at Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. He reached the final by beating Butch Osmon and Donn Griffith. He faced Billy Williams for the title, and Dale smoked the tires and shut down while Williams ran 6.68/207 for the win. | As I recall, Dale had sold his Satellite to Carter-Holsey-Braden but was still in the Grace Cup points chase. So, he borrowed G+Ms Vega/Monza to finish the season. He had also sold his alky dragster to the team of Baker, Stanton, and Walker. - Tim S

Notes: Dale didn't run at the season-opening NHRA Winternationals, but he was at the NHRA Gatornationals in mid-March. He qualified #5 with a 6.06/233.76, but he shut off when the car went into a wheelstand in the first round. His 6.94/149.00 lost to Al Segrini, who had his own problems at 6.40/223. In April, he was at Indianapolis for the NHRA Division 3 Opener. He qualified #3 with a 6.49/218.97 and went on to win. In the first round, he ran 6.41/197.80 over Dominic Santucci's 6.92/170. He then set Low ET and Top Speed in the semi-final at 6.25/231.36 while defeating Tim Grose's 6.74/195. In the final, his 6.30/226.13 got the victory over Murf McKinney's 7.21. Near the end of April, he was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. It was a tough eight-car field, and drivers such as Raymond Beadle, Don Prudhomme, and Dale Pulde failed to make it. Dale did, however, run 6.16/234.98 for the #7 spot. Unfortunately, he lost to Ron Colson in the "Hawaiian" in the first round. He failed to qualify at the NHRA Springnationals, running a 6.30/218.34 best that was good for the third alternate. He didn't run at Denver for the NHRA Mile-High Nationals, but he was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, where he qualified #5 with a 6.05/232.

Notes: Dale lost an engine during qualifying at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. The resulting fire burned up the car. But rain postponed the race a week, and Dale had time to repair it for eliminations. Lost this body in a fire at Columbus race. Qualified it #13 at 6.253/229.59 and lost in round one, to Kenny Bernstein, 6.18/238.72 to 6.238/226.70. Not sure when the fire occurred. on the first-round loss? Dale ran 6.175 for the first alternate at Atlanta. Was that in the Challenger or the Omni? (The Omni ran at Gainesville).
