Notes: Grotheer was one of the top Mopar performers in Pro Stock during the first three years of the class. He started the '72 season at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. A 9.78 qualified #7, and he beat Melvin Yow in the first round. But in round two, a strange thing happened. Grotheer was to race Ronnie Sox, and Don's car died on the line. But then Sox fouled. So, both cars were disqualified from further competition. Don then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #4 in the 32-car field, and in the opening round, his 9.66 beat alternate Monty Mantovan. His 9.74 beat Wayne Gapp's Maverick in round two, and a third-round 9.93 topped Reid Whisnant's quicker 9.82. He beat Arlen Vanke in the semifinals by a tenth with his 9.79 putting Vanke's 9.89 out of the show. That set up a final-round meeting with Bill Jenkins' new Vega. Bill had only qualified with a 9.90, but he had picked up to 9.60s in eliminations with a best of 9.62, and in his semifinal race, he had taken out Don Carlton driving the "Motown Missile" with a 9.68. So, Jenkins was the favorite. Sure enough, Grotheer slowed to a 9.82/141.95 in the final that lost to Bill's 9.68/140. Still, Grotheer had the satisfaction of finishing first in class among the Mopars. His next big race was the IHRA Winternationals at Lakeland. He ran 9.68/144.46 to qualify #3 in the sixteen-car field, but he fouled against Max Hurley in the first round. In April, he ran at the first USRT event at Phoenix. He qualified #7 and was runner-up to Dick Landy for the third-place honors. He won the NHRA Division 4 Opener at Laplace on April 16. Grotheer set Low ET for the event in qualifying #1 with a 9.65. In the final, his 9.68/141.73 beat Charles Lamarr. He was at Capitol Raceway for another USRT event where his 9.49 qualified #4. He raced for the second place honors by beating Vanke's 9.62/142 with a 9.65/143. In the final, he fouled away a 9.61 against Ken Dondero, who won, driving Don Nicholson's Maverick to 9.52/143 for the win. He also won the second NHRA Division 4 race at Southland Dragway on May 28. At Columbus, for the NHRA Springnationals, Don didn't qualify so well as he only got the #10 spot in the sixteen-car field. But during eliminations, things fell into place. In the first round, Carlton broke on the line; Stuart McDade broke in Billy Stepp's car in the second round, and Don advanced with a 9.74. In the semifinals, a slight holeshot, coupled with a 9.80 beat Landy's 9.79. Grotheer found himself in another final round against "Grumpy" Jenkins. The results were the same as Bill's 9.67/143 easily won over Don's 9.79/141.95. Of course, he won the third NHRA Division 4 race at Lubbock. He was at York US 30 for the USRT event in July. In the qualifying round, Don's 9.55/146.10 (Top Speed) beat Dondero's 9.58/142. He was fighting for the second place honors, and to reach the final, he ran 9.48/146.10 over Wally Booth's 9.60/140 AMC effort. In the final, his 9.54/145.63 finished runner-up to Mike Fons' 9.36/145. His next stop was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. It was a 32-car show and is 9.70 qualified #8. He beat Rich Maskin in the opening round and a 9.71 in round two, beat Jerry Miller's 9.84. Round three saw his 9.72 take out Bob Lambeck at 9.81. He faced Landy in the semifinals, and his 9.72/142.85 lost to Dick's 9.68/142. A couple of days later(July 19), he was at Atco for the USRT race. He qualified for the second group with a 9.64/143.54. He went on to win the second place honors by running 9.52/144.46 in the final. In August, he won the fourth NHRA Division 4 race held at Albuquerque. He qualified #1 and, in the final, set Low ET and Top Speed with a 10.35/135.13 over Irv Beringhaus 10.40. | Don won the NHRA Division 4 title in 1972. Also ran 9.65 at LaPlace and 9.549 at Tulsa PRA National Challenge.

Notes: Grotheer was at LaPlace in January for some test runs. He was running the car at legal weight and ran 9.20, 9.25, and 9.27. Don did not qualify at NHRA Pomona or Gainesville. He sold the Duster to Sox & Martin after losing his factory deal. He then returned with a Cleveland-powered Ford Pinto and ran well at Indy. Don ran 9.20/150 with the Duster at 2700 lbs. He also ran 9.27 at Rockingham.

Notes: Don quit drag racing when he lost his Chrysler factory deal. He sold his Duster to Sox & Martin. Then he had a change of heart and came back as an independent with the hottest combo at the time - a 351 Cleveland-powered Ford Pinto. - Car Craft, July 1973. Ron ran 9.32 at LaPlace, 9.221/149.25 to qualify #10 at NHRA Indianapolis. Don then went two rounds, hitting best times on race day at 9.18/150.74. The 9.18 lost a close one to event runner-up Wayne Gapp's 9.15. We need to confirm the 9.05 at Dallas.

Notes: Don was in Denver, Colorado, on July 1st for the Olympia National Open. He reached the final of the eight-car show only to have his late leaving 10.17/134.32 lose to Lynn Harrison's 10.33/131. Shortly after that, he was at Cayuga, Ontario, for the USRT event. Unfortunately, he lost to Don Carlton in the opening round. We need to confirm this was indeed the Cuda and not the Duster. Don drove the Duster at NHRA Pomona and Gainesville.

Notes: Steve was at Columbus on May 8 for the NHRA Division 3 opener. His 7.36/201.34 failed to qualify for the eight-car field, but he got into the show when Steve McCracken could not run. In the opening round, he improved to 6.96/204.54 to beat Fred Mandoline. Unfortunately, the car broke against Don Gerardot in the semifinal. In June, he was at Central Michigan for the third NHRA Division 3 race. A 6.81/212.76 qualified #6. In the first round, he had trouble and shut down to 18.82/37.43 in a loss to Don Gerardot's 6.69/210.

Notes: At the NHRA Gatornationals, Group qualified #2 in the 16-car field with a 6.336/218.12. In Round 1 he faced #10 Qualifier Terry Mullins where he would lose. | On May 17, 1985, Steve won at D3 WWCS at IRP over Randy Henning. He ran 6.44/213.27 for the number one qualifier, then ran 6.49/212.26 in the final. Randy ran an off pace 8.00. - Al Tracy | Steve was at Quaker City Dragway early in June for the third NHRA Division 3 race. His 6.56/208.87 qualified second to Fred Mandoline's 6.51/212. These two raced their way into the final. Steve started by running 6.53/211.26 to advance when Don DeFluiter crossed the centerline. In the semi-final, he ran another 6.53 at 212.26 to defeat Gary Cellone's 6.68/184. Both Fred and Steve were running really well, and in the final, both ran their best ETs of the weekend. Mandoline's 6.42/214 got the victory over Group's 6.50/213.77 runner-up effort. At Columbus, for the NHRA Springnationals, he ran 6.43/218.97 to qualify #4. A 6.53/210.77 in the opening round beat alternate,Gregg Gorman. In round two,he beat Dan Nimmo's 6.66/208 with a 6.55/208.04. Things went really bad in his semi-final race against Pat Austin. The car got out of shape after leaving the line. Steve got out of it, thinking that the car would straighten itself out. Instead, it crossed lanes and smacked into the guardrail. He hadn't known that it had kicked out a couple of rods, and he was skating in his own oil. The car was badly damaged, but he was OK.

Notes: Grove took the hotly contested S/S trophy at the '63 Winternationals with a 12.37/114.94. (Though Cecil Yother adopted the Melrose Missile name in '65, when Grove began driving for Ford, Grove says he came up with the name in '63.) This exact car has been restored to reflect the '63 Pomona win. - RT
