Notes: Ray ran 6.825/204.08 at the Tulsa PRA race. He qualified fifth at the 1972 IHRA Nationals (Dallas International) with a 6.59. This was Raymond Beadle's first Funny Car ride. It was also the first Funny Car built by the chassis company, T-Bar. The owner of T-Bar, Henry Schroeder, built the 115" chassis as well as the aluminum sheet metal work. Owner Mike Burkhart spent $20,000 to put the car together. It was built in just 60 days. The Vega had an Ed Pink-built 426 Hemi that used a 1/2" stroker crank from Moldex to give it a displacement of 484 cubic inch M/T rods held Forgedtrue pistons. The cam was from Crowe. A Cragar blower drive and manifold were used, and Marc Danekas prepared the GMC 6/71. On top sat an Enderle injection unit. A Lenco two-speed delivered the power, but to a 5.14 to the ground. Larry Sellers sprayed on the purple, yellow, and white paint. National Dragster stated in an article that Beadle had driven this car to a best of 6.51 in '73.

Notes: After driving for Mike Burkhart in '72, Raymond Beadle jumped behind the wheel of one of Don Schumacher's ‘Cudas in '73. He was at Beeline in January for the AHRA Winternationals where he qualified #17 in the 32-car field with a 6.71/222.22. A first-round 6.94/176.81 lost to Pat Foster's 6.57/231. Things didn't go so well at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. There were 58 cars trying to qualify for the sixteen-car field and Raymond's best was good for the tenth alternate. Early in June he was at Denver's Century 21 Raceway for the AHRA Springnationals. He qualified #4 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.85 and in the opening round, beat Charlie Therwhanger with a 6.83/207.85. A second round 6.82 took out Larry Christopherson, but he lost to the race's eventual winner Dale Pulde driving Mickey Thompson's Grand Am, in the semifinals. He went to Tri-City soon after that, for a best of three match with the "King Cobra" which saw Beadle win three straight with times of 7.15/199.55, 6.84/206.42, and a solo 6.76/217.39. Early in July he won the AHRA Grand American race at Kansas City. He qualified #3 with a 6.70 then ran 6.88 to beat Gene Snow. In round two he stopped Cogo Eads with a 6.67. In the semifinals, he was matched against Don Prudhomme. The "Snake" lost oil pressure and had to shut off so Beadle soloed into the final. There he ran Jim Nicoll and both had traction problems, but Raymond's 7.39/223.88 got the victory over Jim's 7.59/189. | He ran 6.67/224.70 at the Lebanon Valley Coke race.

Notes: Raymond won the 1974 AHRA Winternationals beating Don Prudhomme in the final. He did not qualify a the NHRA Winternationals, however. Raymond was at Atco Dragway in May for its Factory Showdown race. It was an eight-car show, and in the first round, his 6.67/225.56 (Top Speed)defeated Pete Hill's 6.98/200. In the semifinal, a 6.65/207.85 beat the "Pabst" Charger's 7.14. He faced Pee Wee Wallace in the final, and the two had a great race that had Wallace's 6.57/214 come out on top over Beadle's better 6.55 (Low ET) at 225.56. He went to Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals but failed to qualify. Beadle won the Funny Car Spectacular at Englishtown on July 3. Twelve cars ran the first-round, with the four lowest ETs moving into the semifinals. In the first round, Raymond's 6.59/210.77 beat Fred Goeske and advanced into the semis. There, a 6.77/161.87 got him into the final when Billy Meyer's Mustang II broke on his burnout. He went up against Tom Prock in the "Custom Body" car in the final. Beadle's 6.65/192.71 beat Prock's 6.72/213 for the victory. Back at Englishtown on July 14 for the NHRA Summernationals, things didn't go as well as he failed to qualify, ending up as the second alternate. That and Pomona were Raymond's only two NHRA national events this year. | Draglist contributor Rick Howard has a great photo of Barbara Coil, dressed in her skimpy backup girl outfit, reaching into this car with the following story: The US Air Force actually used this photo for their traffic safety program dated circa 1982. Unknown photographer showing Raymond Beadle behind (I believe) Barbara Coil at Muncie (I guess again), circa 1974. I was the Traffic Safety Director (civilian) for the Wright-Patterson (Ohio) AFB Safety Office. I had to actually show this slide (the only one related to drag racing) to hundreds of Air Force trainees for years before they decided in 1985 to turn in the program and destroy the same at Norton AFB, Calif., because of the content the photo. Instead of destroying the 35mm slide, I kept it. Strange, but true. - RH

Notes: Beadle started his season at Fremont for the New Year's Day Funny Car race. Things didn't go so well as in his first race; his 7.44 lost to Ed McCulloch's 7.21 in a tire-smoking battle. He was still having trouble getting hooked up in his second race, and his 7.26 lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.41. At the Irwindale Grand Premiere race on January 5, he qualified #6 in the sixteen-car field. His easy 6.73/205.94 advanced when Dale Pulde broke on the line in the first round. In round two, he blew an engine but advanced when opponent Neil Leffler was shut off on the line with an oil leak. The "Blue Max" crew installed another engine for the semifinal match against Jim Dunn, but Beadle smoked the tires and lost to Jim's 6.46. Surprisingly, Raymond failed to qualify at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. Still, three cars could not answer the first-round call, so Beadle got into the show as an alternate. Unfortunately, he smoked the tires and lost to Dunn again. The team failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Everything fell into place at Miami-Hollywood for the IHRA Winternationals. Raymond qualified #1 with a 6.39 and made his way to the final against Kosty Ivanof. There he ran the breed's best numbers, a 6.36/219.51, to take the crown over Kosty's 6.63/202. At the NHRA Gatornationals, his 6.47/215.86 qualified #6. An opening round 6.73/211.76 beat Bill Leavitt who smoked the tires, and a second-round 6.59/218.97 beat Billy Meyer, who was driving for Gene Snow. Beadle's 6.78 lost to Tom Prock's 6.68 in the "Custom Body" car in the semifinals. He was in the final of the next IHRA event as well, the World Nationals at Amarillo. Beadle qualified #2 behind Pulde driving the "Eastern Raider." These two would work their way into the final, where Pulde stopped Beadle for the victory. Another runner-up finish came at the AHRA Southwest Grand American at Tulsa. Beadle got out of shape in the final, and his shut off 8.85/113.35 lost to Dale Emery's 6.63/218 in Gene Snow's Vega. Ironically, in a couple of years, Emery was working with the "Blue Max" team. In May, Beadle's next victory came at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Beadle qualified #1 and beat Dennis Lockaby with a 7.45. In the second round, his 6.82/205.01 beat Denny Savage's 6.87/220, and a semifinal 6.72 beat Pulde. This got him into the final against Shirl Greer, and while Greer was having problems, Beadle set Low ET with a winning 6.58 at 214.28. At the AHRA Springnationals held at St. Louis, Raymond qualified #1 at 6.41/222. He set Low ET with a 6.33/212 to beat Emery in the first round, but lost to eventual winner Dick Custy in the semifinals. A week later (June 8), the team was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. A 6.51/213.77 qualified the "Max" #8 in the field. Beadle beat a tire-smoking Pee Wee Wallace in the first round, with a 6.49/210.28. In round two, his 6.44/225.00 took out Emery's stout 6.46/217. He kept the pressure up in the semifinals, turning a 6.44 to beat McCulloch's 6.51. His final round foe was Prudhomme. Don had set Low ET in qualifying with a 6.29, but he was getting slower during eliminations while Beadle had been getting quicker. The "Snake" had run 6.31, 6.40, and a tire-smoking 6.84 to reach the final. The "Blue Max" was loaded for bear (Snake?) for the final, and it was expected to be a good race. It was for the photographers, at least. Just after leaving the line, Beadle started going into a wheelstand. As the front end lifted, the body released from the chassis and went end over end onto the track. The chassis came down hard, but Raymond got it stopped, and he was OK. We needless to say, the "Snake" drove to his third straight NHRA victory. Beadle got a measure of revenge at Cincinnati, Ohio, for the third NHRA Division 3 race. These two would meet again in the final there. Beadle showed that he had some upstairs horsepower by taking Top Speed at 229.08, and in the final, his 6.43/219.51 beat Prudhomme's troubled 7.19/147. It was then off to Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. Beadle qualified #1 with a 6.42/214 and looked like a sure bet to win after running 6.43 over Kenny Safford and 6.53 over Pulde. But in the semifinals, he burned the tires off it, and his 6.66 lost to eventual winner Snow's 6.36 (Low ET). Gene was returning to the driver's seat after his back operation. The "Max's" next win came at the IHRA Summernationals at Union Grove. A final round 6.47/174.08 got the victory over Pat Foster in the "Chicago Patrol." They did not have a good outing at the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown. Beadle only qualified #12 with a 6.55/215.31, and in the first round, he had a tire-smoking dual with Jim Liberman that saw them both run 7.02 (Beadle at 209.79), but "Jungle" got the win and would go on to win the race. Near the end of July, the "Blue Max" started its Northwest swing. The team was at Portland for the big 32-car Coca-Cola Championships. This was a race that had all cars run three rounds of racing. Beadle won his first race with a 6.50/214 over Jeff Courtie, and in his second race, he faced Jerry Ruth. Almost as soon as the "Max" started the northern tour, these two developed a rivalry. In this race, Ruth took the win with a 6.38 over Beadle's 6.52. The third race was worth the price of admission as he took on Liberman, and it was a great race as Raymond set Low ET with a 6.28 over "Jungle Jim's" strong 6.42. The next stop was at Edmonton, Alberta, for the Funny Car Spectacular on July 30. It was another three-round affair. Beadle beat Russell Long in the "Sundance" with a 6.56/200 in his first race, and he soloed with a 6.42/202 in his second race when Norm Wilcox failed to get the "Hawaiian" fired. The last race saw the tensions rise as Beadle got out of shape and crossed the centerline, sideswiping Gene Snow. Luckily, the damage was light to both cars. Then came the Seafair Championships at Seattle. It was another three-round, 32-car show with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Things didn't start so well when the Mustang II broke a rear end in the first race against Courtie. But after that, the "Max" was back. A 6.25/227.27 in his second race beat Ruth's 6.49/215. A third-round race wasn't held due to the track's 11:00 pm curfew, but Beadle's 6.25 held up as one of the two Low ET cars to race in the final. The other finalist was Liberman, who ran a 6.28. "Jungle" attempted a fire burnout just before staging in the final, but the car bogged out from lack of oxygen and almost stalled out in the fire. Due to this, he never got his tires properly warmed up, and he smoked to an 8.74 runner-up finish. He would have been hard-pressed anyway to catch Beadle, who set both ends of the track record with a winning 6.22/230.76. The "Blue Max" team did not make the trip to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, but they were at Firebird Raceway for the fourth annual Night Fire 500 race. Unfortunately, Beadle failed to make it into the final. Another win for the team came at the IHRA Nationals held at Dragway 42 in mid-August. A 6.67/207.35 qualified #3, and Beadle improved to 6.44/208.33 in the opening round to beat Rodger Hamrick. The ET's continued to drop in round two, where his 6.41/220.04 advanced when Tom Hoover broke just off the line. In the semifinals, a 6.49/182.55 took care of Donnie Plunkett. He faced Denny Savage behind the wheel of the "Chi-Town Hustler" in the final. Savage had run 6.42 in his semifinal win. But Savage took a chance on the line in the final and fouled while Raymond ran Low ET and Top Speed with a 6.25 (track record) at 227.84. Then came the team's big victory at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. This was Beadle's first NHRA National event win. He qualified #1 with a 6.144/223.32. In round one, a 6.23/220.04 beat Gary Burgin's 6.43/218. In round two, Gene Snow fouled against him, so Beadle advanced with a 6.31 at just 188.28. John Lombardo smoked the tires against him in the semifinal, and Beadle won with a 6.21/218.44. He had the edge over Prudhomme going into the final as the "Snake" had run 6.45 in his semifinal win. Everything went his way in the final, a 6.16 backed up the 6.14 for a new NHRA record, and his speed on the pass was 226.70. Don's 6.26/224 gave him the runner-up spot. The following week, he was at Rockingham for the IHRA US Open Championships. An off-pace 7.31 qualified #12, but Beadle set Low ET and Top Speed in the first round, with a 6.55/220.58 that beat Paul Smith. Things didn't go well in round two, where an engine let go on the line giving his opponent, Charles Lee, a solo into the semifinal. Did Raymond run 6.07 somewhere this year? We listed that formerly. It did not occur at an NHRA national event. Best NHRA national event speed was 226.70, run in the semis at the Gators (loss), and finals at Indy (win). Won IHRA Union Grove 75 with a Low ET 6.34. Won the 1975 IHRA championship by a wide margin with four national event wins.
