Notes: Runner up at inaugural Ennis All-Stars race. Set 6.195 national record at 87 Chief Auto Parts Nats at Ennis (I don't understand why the 6.173 wasn't saved as the National Record - the 6.195 would have backed it up within one percent). Also ran 222.80 at 87 Gators. Original pre-Internet draglist entry. Listed times from The Drag Racing List, Winter 87/88, Volume 2, Number 9. | Pat started his season at Firebird Raceway for the NHRA Division 7 Opener in January. He qualified #5 in the eight-car field with a 6.63/213.77. This set up a first-round meeting with the low qualifier, Mike Grieco. Austin stepped up to a 6.38/216.86 to beat Mike's 6.40/215. Vern Moats had problems in the semifinals and shut off, while Pat advanced to the final with a 6.44/216.86. The new season started great with a final-round victory over Brad Anderson. Pat's 6.43/215.82 beat Brad's 6.57/182. He almost did it again at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. There he qualified #3 with a 6.31/218.18. A first-round 6.34/219.88 took out Rick Henkelman, and in round two, another 6.34 at 220.31 beat Lou Gasparelli's 6.43/218. In the semifinals, Grieco's 6.64/215 lost to Austin's 6.33/220.21. So for the second straight event, Pat was in the final. This time his opponent was Chuck Phelps. Unfortunately, Pat broke a rod and slowed to 8.68/96.57, losing to Chuck's 6.53/214. Ran 6.311/221.59 at NHRA Indianapolis IN 9/87. Photo from Indy 1987. |

Notes: ET and speed confirmed by Jim Hawkins' DragStats. Also 292.39 from Gainesville 3/92. Set 4.893 National Record and low qualifier at 92 Winternationals. | The season didn't start so well for Pat. He was at Firebird Raceway's Test and Tune event in Jan, and on his very first pass of the new year, the car went into a wheelstand and landed hard. It sheared the left A-Arm, and the team spent all day Saturday repairing it. On Sunday, Austin came back out and ran 5.15 and 5.03/279.67. Pat qualified #1 at the Winternats with a 4.89/291.54. He ran a 4.90/291.07 in the first round, over a broken Bruce Walker and a second-round 4.92/289.48 beat Bobby Baldwin before he lost to Jim Head in the semis. At the next event, the Arizona Nationals, he continued to qualify well with a 4.96/291.35 (Top Speed) qualifying #2. In the first round, he beat Kenny Bernstein with a 4.99/287.90 and a 5.08/286.07 took care of Head in the second round. In the semifinal, Pat left first running a 5.07/287.44 that beat Mike Brotherton's quicker 5.04/281. In the final, he met Doug Herbert and won with a 5.06/286.25. At the NHRA Supernationals, he qualified #10 with a 4.96/295.27. |

Notes: Austin set several records in 1993. He ran the quickest and fastest pass in history at Gators at 5.795/245.49, but he did not back it up. Records were reset after the Gators due to a rule change and thus were slower than previous records. Here are Pat's other 1993 records: 5.825/241.28 at Arizona 2/93, 5.820 at NHRA Baytown TX 3/07/93, 235.91 at Rockingham 4/93, 5.876/241.02 at Englishtown 5/93, 6.04/234.74 at Columbus 6/93, and 5.836/242.19 at Topeka Heartland Nats 10/93.

Notes: ET and speed confirmed by Jim Hawkins' DragStats. Fifth member of the Slick 50 300 mph Club on April 23/1993, with a 300.80 in Commerce, Ga. Also 296.54 from the same race. | Austin was the second alternate at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.07/286.80. He did much better at the NHRA Motorcraft Arizona Nationals where his 4.97/293.54 qualified #13. Pat improved to 4.90/288.46 in the first round, to beat Mike Dunn and an even better 4.89/294.88 in round two beat Doug Herbert's 5.01/284. He moved into the final on the strength of a 5.19/260.41 that stopped Jim Head who had his 'chute fall out at 5.27/213. Pat faced Eddie Hill in the final, and he gave him a good race, but his 4.93/288.46 fell just a little short of Eddie's 4.92/290. Austin continued to run well at the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals at Houston. A 4.92/299.80 qualified #13, but a consistent 5.93/295.17 lost to Herbert's 4.85/298 in round one. At Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals the team had nothing, but problems and his 5.96/150.02 best failed to qualify. |

Notes: CHEVY. Pat was quoted in a June article with Bob Frey that "everyone was in the 5.60s at Joliet the week before." Listing him at 5.69 until we can get verification of the details. Pat qualified #1 at Seattle at 5.735 in July, but lost in round one in a huge upset when he broke a blower belt. We need Pat's best times for 2000. Photo from the 2000 NHRA US Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park. |

Notes: A case might be made that this could be the first flopper funny car in drag racing history. On paper, it had the characteristics of a funny car. Equipped with a homebuilt, tube "pipe" chassis with a flip-top Fiat body and a Potvin supercharged engine. But in 1959, there wasn't a funny car class, so Austin's car was classified as an A Altered. It was purportedly built in 1957, but research could only uncover its first racing results in 1959. At Freeway Drag Strip on June 14, Austin clocked 11.09 at a new track record speed of 133.98 mph. At Freeway on July 4, he won the A/A class with 11.73 at 134.93 mph. At Caddo Mills on Aug. 2, he turned 11.07 at 133.00 mph. He towed to Oklahoma City for a 1000-foot distance race on Aug. 23, where he took an A/A class win with 9.60 at 118.26 mph.

Notes: Austin spent much of the earlier part of the '60 season building a new 444 ci Chrysler motor and tweaking his Fiat altered. By November, he was ready to see what it could do on the race track. On Nov. 6 at Caddo Mills, he set both ends of the track record with 9.58 at 150.50 mph. On Nov. 27 at Green Valley, he set a national record in A/A with 9.81 at 147.52 mph.

Notes: Jody Austin; In the early part of the season, he ran on gas but then began running on fuel. The engine was still relatively new and getting things sorted out when he raced at Green Valley on Feb. 11. He turned 10.35 at 145.75 mph, just on a check-out run. Two weeks later, at Green Valley (2/26/61), he won the A/A class and middle eliminator with 10.30 at 147.50 mph. Then he towed to Bakersfield for the March Meet, where he established himself as a contender on the national scene. He won the A/A class with 10.25 at 151.33 mph, beating some big names, like Ratican-Jackson-Stearns. Back in Texas, he became an established winner at Green Valley, putting up even bigger numbers and experimenting with running on fuel. At Green Valley, he took wins on Apr. 30 (9.98 at 151.26 mph) and middle eliminator on May 28 (10.13 at 147.95 mph). At Green Valley on July 9, he ran successfully on both gas and fuel. He set a new 1320 national record in A/A on gas with a 9.74 clocking. He also grabbed the middle eliminator clsss running on fuel and won the A/FA class with 9.96 at 148.27 mph. At Green Valley on Nov. 19, he took the A/FA class win and middle eliminator with 10.06 and 160.14 mph. Photo: "Vintage shots from days gone by," p. 3907, in Jalopy Journal, The H.A.M.B. - MB |
