Notes: Have a hometown of Long Beach, CA for shoe Hightower as well, so. Ran 7.80 Lions UDRA Winter Championships, 7.96 195.64 Irwindale Dragway AHRA Winternationals. The Vandal team won the Irwindale race and took off to Mexico to celebrate! Bob won the AHRA Winternationals in an interesting fashion, he beat Ron Hampshire in the first round, with his quickest run in eliminations, an 8.08. In round two an 8.29 advanced when Jimmy Nix fouled. Bob had another easy pass in the third round when Bob Mayer fouled, and in the semifinals an 8.50/191.88 beat Bob Downey. In the final, John Mulligan who blew his engine in the semifinals was unable to show so Bob took an 8.95/153.52 run for the win. On March 26 he was at Lions for a sixteen-car show. Bob qualified #5 with a 7.83/198.22. He made to to the semifinals before breaking a U-joint and giving Dave Beebe a free pass into the final. He didn't do to well at Lions on April 18 for an eight-car show when his best of 8.04/191.08 failed to make the show.

Notes: It was weird that on April 13, before Hightower started driving this car, James Warren drove it at a Lions Top Fuel show. On May 4, Bob was driving for "Mr. Ed" at a sixteen-car show at Irwindale. He beat John Mulligan's 7.11/226 in the first round, with a 7.09/223.32. He thought it was time for a little snooze in round two, and his 7.10/221.65 lost to Dwight Salisbury's slower 7.27/220. On May 25, the team was at OCIR for another sixteen-car show. He got past the first-round and, in round two, met up with James Warren. Bob won the race with a 7.18/215.3 over Warren's 7.57/166. In the semifinal, he ran a consistent 7.18/224.42 but lost to Dave Beebe's holeshot 7.20/214.

Notes: Woody built Doug Thorley RE Javelin. Started with an AMC engine, then a 392, finally a late model 426, as shown in the photo. On May 3, Bob was the first qualifier at 8.42/172.28 for the AM team at the OCIR Manufacturer's Funny Car Open. Unfortunately, the car broke and was unable to race. The car was a total loss after getting airborne and crashing down at 200 mph at Irwindale on May 17. Bob was OK.
