A first-round 8.03/193.54 beat Tim Freeman's 8.07/150 in the first round, while he eased to a round two win when Denny Miliani in the Masters & Richter car had engine troubles. An 8.09/189.96 advanced in the semifinals. He then had an easy solo for the victory when final round opponent Paul Sutherland failed to fire.

Notes: AKA California Woody. The photo may have been taken in the mid-'60s in MN at his parents' house. | Dave was driving the "Babler & Clark" car at a sixteen-car show at Irwindale on April 2. He beat Dave McKenzie in the first round, with a 7.82/200.00, and in the second round, a 7.88/197.80 beat Don Hampton. In the semifinal, he lost to the eventual winner, Mike Snively, in the "Hawaiian." The following week (April 9), he was back at Irwindale, where he lasted until the second round before losing to Snively again. On April 23, Irwindale held another one of its weekly sixteen-car shows. Dave qualified #9 with a 7.89, but met the low qualifier, the "Hawaiian," in the first round. Babler tried hard, running a 7.68/209.40, but again he lost to Snively (7.45/210). Luck was on his side, however, when Nick Marshall had won his first-round race, but had lost his engine and was unable to run the second round. Dave got back in on the "break rule," having run the lowest ET of the first-round losers. He was reinstated. In the second round, he beat the "Howard Cam Special" with a 7.75/205.46. Dave ran his best time of the day in the semifinal, a 7.60/206.42, but he lost to a holeshot 7.63/196 by Jim Dunn. On May 1, he was a San Fernando for an eight-car event, and while he didn't win or even make the final, he did set Low ET and Top Speed at 7.84/212.76.

Notes: Dave ran 7.32/219 at Riverside on 3/24/68 and 7.23 at Bakersfield. We need to confirm it was in this car. Dave was one of seventeen Top Fuel drivers attempting to qualify at Lions on May 11 for an eight-car show. Unfortunately, his 7.69 best (third alternate) failed to qualify. He came back out later for a consolation race against Gary Cochran's AA/GD, and his 8.12/156.05 lost to the gasser's 8.01/189.

Notes: Dave qualified #20 at the AHRA Winternationals. His 7.50/200.33 in the first round lost to Mike Snively's 7.17/214. He failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Things went well at Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet. He reached the final of the 32-car show by beating Bobby Hightower in the first round with a 7.03/199.55. He took out Tommy Allen in round two and a 6.98/212.76 put Gary Cochran on the trailer in round three. Both he and Steve Carbone ran 6.96 (Dave at 213.87) in the semifinals, but Babler got the win. He faced "Fireman" Jim Dunn in the final, and his 7.00/214.38 finished runner-up to Dunn's 6.94/215. On March 16, he was at Riverside for the HRM Championships, where he qualified #17 in the 32-car field with a 7.08. Unfortunately, that set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Jack Mitchell. Dave slowed to 7.29/216.86 in their race and lost to Mitchell's 7.07/221.; Photo: Drag Racing Hero's: Dragsters website - MB | Les Green was at least one of the owners.

Notes: Baca was at Firebird Raceway in February for the NHRA Arizona Nationals. His 6.13/228.89 qualified #6, and in round one, he improved to 6.11/238.94 to defeat Tom Bristow's 6.30/217. He ran even better in round two, where he fouled away a 6.10/229.88 against Cruz Pedregon, who advanced at 6.08/230. The following week (Feb. 25), he was at the Texas Motorplex for the NHRA Division 4 opener. It was an eight-car field, and his 6.04/232.55 qualified second behind Pat Austin's 5.98/233. David fell out of the pace in the opening round, where his 6.20/228.23 beat Todd Simpson's 6.21/226. But a 7.04/130.96 in the semifinal lost to Gary Rettell's 6.46/180. At NHRA Columbus, David qualified 16th at 6.25/226.41. He was a no-show against No. 1 qualifier Gary Rettell for round one. Rick Howard photo from 1990 NHRA Budweiser Springnats, Columbus.

Notes: Baca qualified #19 at the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.14/205.01. He fouled in the first round, against Leroy Goldstein. On October 19, Baca qualified #1 with a 6.74 at the Fremont Fallnationals. He ran a first-round 6.77/205.92 over Jerry Ruth and in the semifinals, a 6.84 advanced over James Warren, who broke a rear end. In the final, he faced Don Prudhomme. Unfortunately, his car failed to fire. It was sad because Prudhomme put a rod through the side of his block and could only coax a 20.94 out of it.

Notes: Fremont held an eight-car show on May 30 and Baca was there. He qualified #7 with a 6.95, but fouled against Bill Alexander in the first round. On September 13, Dennis was at the NHRA Division 4 final at Amarillo. It was a sixteen-car show and he qualified #3 with a 7.12 and lasted until the semifinals before losing to eventual winner Chip Woodall. Baca ran really well at the Irwindale Grand Prix on October 3. In the first round of the 32-car show, both he and Les Allen ran 6.91, but Dennis got the win. He had another close race in round two when his 6.83/209.30 beat Tony Nancy's 6.85/209. In round three, he ran Dave Uyehara and they both broke, but Baca won the coasting contest with a 7.20/172.08. Luck was on his side in the semifinals when he lost a rear end and ran 8.94/105.63, but still won when Carl Olson shut off to a 9.48/138. In the final, he faced James Warren. Baca's luck ran out as his 6.78/201.78 lost to Warren's 6.68/230. | NHRA best national event ET was 6.550/225.56 at the Indy Nationals. Also ran 6.68 at Fremont 1970 and 209.30 at Irwindale 10/3/70.
