Notes: New Woody Gilmore, RCE-chassied car with B&M Tork Master was rolled out midway through '65 season. It was stolen during the Winter and never recovered. The follow-on Woody Gilmore job, the famed Tom Hanna-bodied "fishbowl" car, debuted in 1966. - RT

Notes: Tom beat the Greek at a match race at Minnestora Dragways in May with a best time of 7.93 at 212.20. Woody Gilmore built the chassis for this car after Hoover's previous half-year-old rail was stolen. But it was the gorgeous Tom Hanna-hammered aluminum body that this car is best remembered for. No list of the most beautiful FEDs omits this racecar. The swoopy tailpiece included streamlined "portholes" into which Hanna incorporated custom woodgrain inserts. Hoover's dragster became known as the "Fishbowl Car" because, while under construction, Hanna joked to a magazine writer that Hoover was going to put a fish aquarium in there. Hoover ran the car for two years, then sold it. It was raced for a couple more years, then disappeared. It has since been recreated (with Hoover's and Hanna's blessing) by Creative Metalworks in Minnesota. - RT

Notes: Tom blew up two blowers trying unsuccessfully to qualify at the NHRA Winternats, ending as the 6th alternate (times not reported). The debris from the blower actually knocked the visor off his helmet. He suffered some burns and was considering about retiring from driving. For the Bakersfield Meet, he had Doc Halladay drive the car. On April 9, Tom was at Minnesota Dragway to make some test runs with his dragster. The track was cold, and he smoked the tires on all three of his runs, with the best being 8.01/214.78. At the NHRA Springnats, he qualified #9 at 7.255/205.46 but fouled away a 7.188/184.42 in the first round. A big win at the Canadian Nationals over John Weibe was followed by another victory at the third NHRA Division 5 race held at Minneapolis (Minnesota Dragways) on July 16. It was an eight-car field, and in round one, he set Low ET with his 7.43/209.30 beating Bill Schifsky's 8.24/196. He continued to run strong in the semifinals with his 7.45/215.30 defeating Earl Binns' 7.77/200. A final round 7.49/190.26 got the win over Jerry Boldenow's 8.28/210. He got another win over an eight-car field at Minnesota Dragways on August 20. Hoover got to solo in the opening round when Vern Anderson's car failed to fire. Tom advanced with a 7.38/209.30. He also got the "odd-lot" solo in the semifinal and eased it to an 8.37/134.28. The track record going into this race was a 7.36 held by "Sneaky Pete" Robinson. Tom reset that record to 7.30 (at 200) while getting the victory in the final. At Indy, for the NHRA US Nationals, Tom's 7.331/210.28 qualified on the "bump" for the 32-car field. In the opening round of eliminations, his 7.607/202.24 lost to Tommy Ivo's 7.09/209. On October 1, Hoover was in Minneapolis for the NHRA Division 5 final. Doc Halladay cut a good light in the first round, and his 7.40 beat Hoover's 7.34. He was trying so hard to catch Halladay that he ran 220.58. for Top Speed. He ran a 7.285/196.08 qualifier at the World Finals at Tulsa. Tom got the round one holeshot win at 7.367/212.26 over fellow Minnesotan Jerry Boldenow's 7.283/204.54. Steve Carbone ended Tom's day in round two, 7.09/209 to 7.280/208.80.

Notes: Hoover started his season at Beeline Dragway in Arizona on January 21 for the AHRA Winternationals. It was a 32-car field, and in round one, his 7.24/218 beat Dave Powers' 7.35/195. In the second round, he lost to Mike Snively, who was driving the "Hawaiian." He was one of 80 Top Fuel drivers at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals for its 32-car show, but he failed to qualify. On April 21, he was at Oklahoma City Raceway for the Drag World Fuel Championships. It was a sixteen-car field, and he lasted until the semifinal before he lost to Bennie Osborn. Ran 210.28 Omaha track record on May 26. Tom got a big win at Union Grove's Drag Racing Olympics race on June 2. Chris Karamesines fouled against him in the final, and Tom ran 7.09/205.94 for the victory. He then made the trip to Bristol for the AHRA Springnationals, but he didn't hang around there long as he fouled in the opening round. Tom was at Englishtown on June 17 for the NHRA Springnationals. The SOHC Ford-powered cars had dominated this race in '67 when it was held at Bristol. Don Prudhomme had run the first sixes at an NHRA National event, and he beat another Ford-powered car in the final, Pete Robinson's. But '68 was a whole new ball game. Except for Hoover's, all the Ford-powered cars failed to qualify for the sixteen car field. Hoover's 7.06 got him the #12 spot, and he didn't stick around long as in the opening round of eliminations, his 7.35/168.22 lost to John Mulligan's 7.24/211. Tom ran 7.00 at Minnesota. On July 6, Hoover was at Union Grove for the National Championships. There were so many cars there that they formed two sixteen-car fields. While Tom failed to qualify for the "fast" sixteen, he got into the second program and won. He ran 7.2/216.32 while earning the victory. He got another win on July 28 at Omaha. This one came with a lot of luck on his side. He was there for the fourth NHRA Division 5 points race. He was running with a cracked block. Thankfully, he did not have to run it hard. Harold Wilson fouled against him in the opening round, John Wiebe fouled against him in the semifinal, and Howdy Williams burned up his clutch against him in the final. Sometimes luck goes a long way! At Indianapolis, for the NHRA U.S. Nationals, Hoover looked like the car to beat. He had "only" qualified #13 in the 32-car show with a 6.94/219.50. The only SOHC Ford that out-qualified him was Prudhomme's at the #8 spot with a 6.88/229. But once eliminations started, Tom's car got quicker. In the opening round, he ran 6.89/205.00 to beat Joe Jacono. In round two, his 6.91/191 defeated Wayne Griffith's 7.18/209. A great 6.83 in round three knocked out the "Ramchargers" 7.06 with Chuck Kurzawa driving. He went up against Don Garlits in the semifinal. Garlits best pass until their race had been his 6.88 in round three. It was shaping up to be a good race until Hoover lost oil pressure on the line and had to shut off. Garlits ran a solo 6.81 and went on to win the race. The following week (September 8), Hoover was at Minneapolis for the final NHRA Division 5 race. He reached the final by running 7.08/208.32 in the opening round over Jim Nicoll. A 7.05 in the semifinal beat Vern Anderson's 7.17. He fouled away a 7.17 against Leroy Goldstein, who ran 7.00 for the win in the final.

Notes: Tom ran 6.85 at Bakersfield March Meet 3/69, 6.838 at Indy US Nationals 9/69, 6.71 at Dallas International Motor Speedway, and 6.83 at Minnesota. Tom was at Minneapolis on June 8 for a best-of-three-match race against Bennie Osborn. In their first race, Hoover's late 6.92/206.88 lost to Bennie's 7.03/225. The two had a really good second race that saw Hoover reset the track record with a 6.83 at 214.28 that defeated Osborn's 6.86/222 and tied up the match. Bennie ended up winning the match by running 6.85/224 in their final race that covered Tom's 6.98/208.32. Shortly after that (June 15), he was at Dallas International for the NHRA Springnationals. It was a 32-car field, and his 6.91/200.44 qualified #22. He picked up a tenth in the opening round, where his 6.81/217.39 beat John Mulligan. Unfortunately, he lost to Bob Downey in round two. Tom's best times in NHRA competition were 6.723/221.13 at the Dallas Springs and Pomona. Reportedly went 222.5 at Indy, but that may have been a DNQ pass for which we don't have evidence.
