Notes: This was one of the last of a dying breed, the Chevy-powered Funny Car. Dan Geare and Dean LaPole teamed on this "Rat" powered Camaro. I would've loved to hear this thing run because it was the loudest Funny Car out there from all reports. The 120" chassis was built by exhibition Engineering. But the big story about this car and what set it off from the others was the stock-sized 427 Chevy engine. It used two spark plugs for each cylinder and also had a dual ignition system. The rods were by Howards, while the 6.5:1 pistons were Arias. Crankshaft Company supplied the crank. The cam was also from Howards. Scott injectors fed the Larry Bowers-built blower. The car used a B&M prepared automatic. The rear end used 4.56 gears. The Camaro body came from J&E Fiberglass and was narrowed eight inches. Nat Quick did the paint and lettering. The Camaro weighed 1,900 lbs. Dean was at Capitol Raceway on August 21 for the Mr. FC Eliminator race. It was an eight-car show, and in the first round, his 7.28/188 lost to Tom McEwen's 7.03/180. Later, he came back out to run a consolation race against Richard Tharp, who was driving the "Blue Max." Tharp shut down early in their race, and LaPole ran 7.05/193. Rick Howard photo from 1971.

Notes: Dan Geare, Fred Totten, and Dean LaPole ran probably the loudest funny car in the sport during the '70-'71 season. Their "rat" engine used sixteen plugs as well as their own fuel injection. Unfortunately, that got them no event victories. They had a more conventional car built for '72. The chassis was a 118" Mike Lieby that had the engine placed farther out front than most. Geare built the 497 engine by starting with a 454 and adding a quarter-inch stroker from Crankshaft Co. Howards rods and cam were used along with Arias 6.5:1 pistons. Air Research built the GMC 6/71, and it was driven 36% over. Four-port Hilborn injection sat up top. George Cerny painted the J&E Camaro body. The cost was $10,000. Early runs netted a best of 6.83/209.80. Dean was at Capitol Raceway on June 10 for the Mr. Chevrolet race. Unfortunately, the Camaro broke in the first round, against Mike Burkhart. The team also ran 6.76 at NED. They were mentioned in the movie Funny Car Summer as being the 7th qualifier at the final OCIR WCS points meet with a 6.84.

Notes: Dean was driving one of at least six Chevy-powered FCs attempting to qualify at Beeline Dragway's 32-car field for the AHRA Winternationals. Unfortunately, none of them made the show. LaPole ran well at Dragway 42 in May for the AHRA Grand American race. He qualified #6, and in the first round, his 6.77/199.11 beat Don Prudhomme's 7.03/177. He came out and ran 6.78/193.96 over Dale Emery's 7.12/162 in round two to show it was no fluke. He still ran well in the semifinals, but his 6.81 lost to eventual winner "Jungle Jim" Liberman's 6.64. In July, he was at Englishtown for an eight-car show. His 7.17/160.42 in the opening round beat Pee Wee Wallace but as the speed on the pass shows, he hurt the engine and was unable to return for the semifinal. The quickest pure Chevy in history. Also 6.40 at St. Louis 1973, but a long-forgotten 6.36 at 217.28 from OCIR. The car broke on the pass and did not make eliminations, so the 6.36 time did not make the press. David Ray provided us with the time slip for proof.

Notes: Val qualified on the "bump" at Bristol for the NHRA Springnationals' sixteen car field with an 8.05/187.50. In the opening round, he improved to 7.99/189.06 to beat a crossed-up Jimmy Nix. In round two, he lost to Don Westerdale driving for the "Ramchargers." Val ran a confirmed 7.70 at Greenville SC 1965 and 189.06 at Bristol TN 1965. Val's dragster was featured in Drag News in December. The article stated that he used an Ivo chassis and the standard 392 Hemi. It was fitted with M/T rods and pistons and a Herbert roller cam. Mondello did the heads, and the GMC 6.71 was overdriven 22% with an M/T blower drive. Enderle supplied the injection. In the short time he had been driving, he was yet to lose in a match race. He scored victories over Art Malone, Tommy Ivo, Jimmy Nix, Connie Swingle, and Marvin Schwartz. The article went on to say that his best was 7.62/205.

Notes: LaPorte was a fixture on the NASCAR Fuel Dragster Circuit. He was at West Palm Beach on February 19 for the circuit opener. His 7.73 qualified #5 in the eight-car field, and he won his first-round race but had hurt his engine and was unable to return for the semifinal. NASCAR's next event was its Winter Championships, held at DeLand, Florida. Unfortunately, he lost to Joe Jacono in the first round. He went up against Chris Karamesines in a best-of-three-match race at Tampa on April 9. In their first race, the "Greek" fouled away a 7.56 while LaPorte ran 7.80 for the win. In the next race, Val's 7.40 wrapped up the match race victory over Karamesines' 7.60. He had another match near the end of the month (April 30), where he beat Billy Webb two straight at Farmington, N.C., where he set both ends of the track record with a 6.99/216.34. The June 16 issue of Drag News had Val selling his Top Fuel dragster with or without the trailer. The ad stated that he had run a best of 7.38/221.88. We need to confirm the 6.95 we have listed. Was LaPorte from Tampa, FL?
