Notes: Photo probably from 1990. Qualified #7 at Gainesville at 6.041/232.85. The weekend was rained out and canceled to be run the next weekend. We were well qualified so we decided to leave our stuff there, drive home and then return the next weekend. We lost to Pat Austin second round by I think. .003 seconds. What a week. - Paul Johnson, 4/20

Notes: Ronnie Cox bought the Cad-powered dragster from Lloyd Wolfe, manager of the Maryville drag strip in Tennessee. He first had Shirl Greer drive the dragster for him at Maryville on June 7, where Greer took top eliminator honors with 132 mph. Greer drove for Cox again at Maryville on June 13, getting another top eliminator victory with 138 mph. On Aug. 2 at Roanoke Drag Strip, Cox set a new track record in his dragster with 134.12 mph. He copped the dragster class win and took top eliminator. Although Cox was driving at that race, the regular driver was Pope Johnson, who set a strip record at Maryville, Tennessee, with 140.91 mph. At the Dixie Drag Classic at Concord Drag Strip in North Carolina, he set a track record with 140.63 mph and took top eliminator honors. In late November, set a new strip record, won his class, and took top eliminator honors at Chester with 138.28 mph.

Notes: Johnson started driving in mid-season and still finished second in the NHRA Division 5 FC standings. He was also named Division 5's "Rookie Driver of the Year." In one of his earliest openings with the car, he was at Bison Dragways for a best of three match against Russell Long, who was driving the "Chi-Town Hustler." In the first race, his 7.78/177.07 lost to Long's 6.81. Rick then evened the score by running 6.76/206.42 to win the second race. But in the final run, both smoked the tires, and Russell recovered first to win at 10.61. He qualified at Englishtown, Seattle, and Ontario, with respective best times of 6.596/216.34, 6.550/218.44, and 6.313/228.42. Rick made it to the second round at Ontario.

Notes: Rick started the '77 season by qualifying #6 at the AHRA Winternationals with a 6.87. He improved to a 6.52 in the first round, to beat Tom Anderson, but he lost to John Collins in round two. Rick was a DNQ at NHRA Pomona (times unknown). Johnson qualified second at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals with a 6.27/221.67 behind Gordie Bonin's 6.26. In the first round, he faced Roger Lindamood and a frayed blower belt pulled the wire from the coil and the car lost fire. Lindamood got to solo into round two. The car was destroyed in crash at Edmonton in June 1977. Johnson suffered a broken leg. Photo from the 1977 NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Florida.

Notes: Rick was the second alternate at NHRA Gainesville at 6.270/208.81. He qualified #1 with a 6.07/230.17 at Englishtown on May 4 for the NHRA Division 1 Opener. Rick lasted until the semifinals, where he shut off to an 8.54 that lost to Bruce Larson's 6.71. The following week (May 10), he was at Maple Grove for the Dutch Classic. Six cars made two runs each, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. In his first race against Al Segrini, he got out of shape and shut off. He again got crossed up in his second race and lost to Gary Burgin. At the NHRA Springnationals, he ran a 6.24/225.56 to qualify #12. He beat John Force in the first round, 6.19/236.22 to 6.29/235.60, but in round two, his 6.25/236.22 lost to Tom Hoover's 6.22/227.84. Rick qualified #2 with a 6.12/222.77 at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. Rick lasted until the semifinals, where the Mustang broke against Roy Harris. He qualified #10 at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals at 6.129/241.28, but his 6.251/234.98 in the first round lost to Burgin's 6.12/238.09. In August, he was in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, where his 6.28/234.37 qualified #4 in the eight-car field. He lost to Force in the first round, 6.158/239.36 to 6.205/231.36. Johnson ran really well in New England for the NHRA Division 1 final on August 17. His 6.13/237.46 qualified #2 behind Burgin's 6.04. These two would work their way to the final. Rick beat Kosty Ivanof in round one with a 6.16/232.55, and in the semifinals, his 6.10/235.60 took out John Speelman. On his way to the final, Gary had run a best of 6.01 (Low ET). The two had an interesting final, with Burgin shutting off to 11.33/71, but Rick thinking he had the win wrapped up, got out of shape and crossed the centerline, disqualifying himself. Rick was the 13th alternate at NHRA Indy at 6.33/231.36. That was his last NHRA national event of the year. (This was the former Gary Burgin "Pete Rose" car). Photo from 1980 US Nationals. | If they ran the Omni, it was at the very end of '80. The Ford was a silver car with all the colorful stripes at the rear half of the body and on the hood. The Omni "brightened up" the scheme while still on a silver background. - John Kilburg

Notes: Atlanta held an eight-car show in March. The track was slick as only one car ran a "five" in qualifying. Rick's 7.48/136.15 qualified on the "bump." To show how tough the track was to figure out, Raymond Beadle could not beat his time to qualify. Rick didn't reach the final, but it was one of his first outings of the year. He also qualified on the "bump" for the eight-car show at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. A 6.20 got him the spot, but he lost early in eliminations again. Shortly after that, he stopped off at Englishtown for the K-Mart Springnationals. Johnson had a great day. It was an eight-car show, and in round one, his 6.30/229.00 advanced when Bob Seifert broke. The team was all smiles in the semifinals after Rick ran his first "5." A 5.97/244.56 (Low ET and Top Speed) beat Roy Harris's 6.43/221. He went up against the always tough Gary Burgin in the final. The two had a great race that saw Rick's 6.25/240.00 come out on top for the victory over Gary's 6.30/234. The team's next stop was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. Johnson qualified #4, but he smoked the tires in the opening round and lost to Dale Pulde. Rick qualified 10th at the NHRA Springnationals at 6.062/244.56 and upset Don Prudhomme and Dale Pulde before falling to Mark Oswald in the semis. An opening round 6.32/230.17 beat the "Snake," and a 6.19/234.98 beat Pulde's 6.40/229. His 'chute popped out in the semifinal while racing Mark Oswald, and his slow 6.87/128.20 lost to Mark's 6.41/222. A 6.11/233.16 qualified #15 at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. In the first round, he ran 6.12 to stop Frank Hawley's 6.23 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." In round two, Kenny Bernstein's 6.14/236 fell to Rick's 6.050/240. He faced Oswald again in the semifinal, and this time the "Custom Body" car broke a rear-end, and Johnson had to watch Mark advance with a 5.95/243. He did not go to Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals, but he was at Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals. He qualified #15 and lost in the opening round to Hawley.

He failed to back up the ET for a new national record. In the semifinals, his 5.92/249 lost to eventual winner Al Segrini's 5.79/253. Atlanta held an eight-car show on March 10, and Johnson qualified #1 with a 5.79/251.39. He set Low ET and Top Speed in the first round, with a 5.71/256.41 over a tire-smoking Ed McCulloch. In the semifinals, it was he who smoked the tires, and he lost to Smith's 6.36/220. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #5 with a 5.72/255.82. But in round one, he fouled against Tom Hoover. Rick was back at Firebird on April 6 for the Coors Funny Car Championships. All eight cars made two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. A first-round 6.44/237.46 lost to John Force's 5.89/202, and in his second race, his 6.02/252.10 (Top Speed), lost to Gary Densham's 6.03/231. But he made the final when Force had a blower explode in his second race and could not run the final. So once again, Johnson lined up against Densham. Once again, Gary won; this time, his 5.98/238 got him the victory over Rick's 6.06/252.10 runner-up effort. He qualified #3 at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals with a 5.81/256.99 (Top Speed), but bad luck hit him in the first round, when he lost a blower belt against Ron Correnti. Things went well at Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet, where he dominated the eight-car Funny Car program. Rick set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with a 5.72/254.33. A 5.76/252 beat Jim Dunn in round one, and in the semifinals, he beat Jim's son Mike with a 5.94/247 over the younger Dunn's 5.98/242. He took the victory with a 5.94/241.28 over Densham's 6.34/234 Daytona in the final. On May 11, he was at Firebird Raceway for a best-of-three-match race against Force. Unfortunately, he lost two straight with times of 5.97/244.56 and 5.93/240.90 compared to John's 5.83/243 and 5.79/240. At the end of May, he was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals, where he qualified #8 with a 5.89/251.81. A first-round 6.01/245.09 beat Jody Smart, but in round two, his 6.03/242.58 lost to Force's 5.97/244. The "Hawaiian" made a rare IHRA appearance at Bristol for the Springnationals. Rick qualified #10, but he lost early. Next, he was off to Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. A 5.81/251.25 qualified #4, but a quick-leaving John Collins beat Rick's 5.90/249.03 in the first round, with a 5.93/241. He then made the long tow to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals pay off by winning his first NHRA National event. He was running well, making laps of 5.76, 5.77, and 5.79 in qualifying, so it was apparent, he was tough. Rick's 5.76 at 254.38 was good enough for the #6 spot in the show. Round one saw his 5.91/251.25 beat Smith's 6.04/249 in the "Custom Body" car. A 5.87/248.20 took care of Billy Meyer in round two, and a semifinal 5.69/250.13 beat John Lombardo's 5.86/250 in the "Blue Max." In the final, he was up against Bernstein, and the two had a good race with Johnson's 5.72/260.26 (Top Speed and a new track record) getting the victory over Kenny's 5.79/250. Invented the lovely "cowcatcher" nose piece to answer Kenny Bernstein's 1985 long-nose Ford Tempo body. Michael Beach photo from Martin, MI, 1985. He was the quickest car in the sport for most of the 1985 season until Bernstein went 5.55 at Rockingham Fall. Ran 5.985/235.60 in runner-up effort at ADRA Kansas City International Raceway 8/85.
