Notes: Oswald came on the scene and surprised many people with his driving ability. The team started the year by qualifying #14 with a 6.00/235.60 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but they lost to Shirley Muldowney. His 6.19/229.00 fell to her 5.96/241 in the first round. At Darlington, for the IHRA Winternationals, Mark's 6.19 qualified #5 in the eight-car field. He lost to low qualifier Connie Kalitta in the opening round. He was runner-up to Jeb Allen at the IHRA Pro-Am at Rockingham. He had beaten Kerry Sweigert's 6.14/234 in the first round with a 6.12/236. In the semifinal, Kalitta fouled against him and made an easy pass to advance. Jeb's 6.04/243 in the final beat his 6.13/237. At the second Division 3 race at Edgewater, Mark qualified #5 with a 6.45, but he lost in the semifinal. At the next IHRA race, the Springnationals, on May 18, Mark ran a 6.08 to qualify #7 in the eight-car show. A first-round 6.04 beat a tire-smoking Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max" dragster at 6.22. In the semifinal, a 6.09/237.46 lost to Richard Tharp's 5.95/240. The team was at Milan Dragway for the IHRA Northern Nationals on July 20. Mark qualified the car #6 and ran a first-round 5.93 over Connie Kalitta. In the semifinals, a 5.94/245.23 took care of Tharp's 6.07. In the final, Oswald hammered the tree, and his 5.94/244.56 beat Marvin Graham's much quicker 5.82/241. He was back at Bristol early in August for the IHRA Summernationals. His 6.00/241.93 qualified second to Tharp's 5.87/240. A 5.99 in round one beat Mike Tarter's 6.00. He spun the tires to a 6.30 in the semifinal that lost to Allen's 6.04. At the PHR Championships, he qualified #3 at 5.93/243.24 (Top Speed). Mark broke in round one, giving Chris Karamesines an easy win. The team did not race at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals. He was at Rockingham in mid-September for the IHRA U.S. Open Championships. He qualified #7 and lost early. |

Notes: The team took delivery of their new Don Long-built car the day before the NHRA Winternationals. They ran a best of 6.02 for the first alternate. Not bad, considering that 40 cars were going for the 16-car field. At the NHRA Gatornationals, they made the field with a 5.88/242.58 qualifying #12. Mark lost to Shirley Muldowney in the first round. On March 22, they were at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. There, a 6.02/244 qualified #5. In the first round, a 6.14/230 fell to Jody Smart's 5.98/238. A 5.91 failed to qualify for the eight-car field at the NHRA Southern Nationals on April 26, but they ran 5.82 to qualify #2 the following week at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am race. Another 5.82/241.28 beat a wheelstanding Frank Bradley in the first round. In the semifinal, a 5.92/242.58 topped Smart's quicker 5.87/243. Mark faced Marvin Graham in the final and lost a close 5.84/238 to 5.85/246.57 race. At the next IHRA event, the Springnationals at Bristol, on May 17, they again qualified #2, this time with a 5.85. A first-round 5.86 beat Don Garlits' 6.01. Unfortunately, he broke an oil line in the semifinal, smoked the tires in his own oil, and lost to Jeb Allen. Oswald got a big win at the IHRA World Nationals, beating Garlits in the final with a 5.91/245. On the NHRA side, he qualified #9 at the NHRA Springnationals with a 5.94/241.93. He met low qualifier Billy Williams in the first round, and Mark's 6.14/234 advanced when Williams's car broke at half-track. In the second round, a 6.02/239 lost to Terry Capp's 5.98/238. He made the finals again at the next IHRA race, the Northern Nationals, but he had to settle for runner-up when Richard Tharp beat him this time. The team didn't run at the NHRA Mile High Nationals but showed up at the Summernationals at Englishtown. A 5.83/241.28 qualified #6. He beat Butch Osmon in the first round and Tharp in the second (with a 5.90/243.90 to Tharp's 5.92/243), a 5.99/238.72 in the semifinal beat a tire-smoking Capp. The team found themselves in another final round—this time against Gary Beck. Beck had been running strong, and his final round 6.02/221.13 beat Oswald's 6.16/236.84. Back at Bristol for the IHRA Summernationals, they didn't run as well as they had been. Mark qualified #7 in the eight-car field and a 6.18 in the first round, lost to Allen's 6.00. The team bypassed the NHRA Grandnationals before showing up at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. Once again, they just squeaked into the field with their 5.789/245.23 getting in on the bump. A first-round 5.84 lost to Shirley Muldowney's 5.74. The team rebounded by reaching the final at the next IHRA event, the IHRA US Open, on September 13. A first-round 5.82/212 beat an off-pace Beck at 6.37. A 6.11 took care of a tire-smoking 6.42 from Tharp in the semifinal. In the final, a slow 6.27/228.42 lost to Graham's 5.98/240.00. The 245.23 at Indy was the team's best NHRA speed. |

Notes: The "Candies and Hughes" team would never have suspected their car to not qualify in its debut at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. On every qualifying attempt, the car smoked the tires. Oswald's best was only 7.33/126.93 (seventh alternate). Early in March, the team went to Atlanta for an eight-car show. Mark's 6.00/250.69 (Top Speed) qualified second behind Al Segrini's 5.95/237. Oswald beat Johnny White in the first round with a 6.09/246.57. In the semifinal, his 6.03/250.00 beat Rick Johnson in the "Custom Body" car. He faced Segrini in the final, and Oswald's car died on the line giving Al a solo pass for the win. Things really turned around at Gainesville, where Mark qualified #1 with a 5.87/254.23 (Top Speed and a new track record). Unfortunately, the car went up in smoke in the opening round, and he lost to Frank Hawley driving the "Chi-Town Hustler." At Atlanta, Mark's 5.93/245.23 (Top Speed) qualified second to John Lombardo's similar 5.93/232. Oswald faced Hawley in the first round, and he fouled, giving the "Chi-Town" bunch an easy win. The team's first IHRA event of the season was the Pro-Am Championships at Rockingham. It was another eight-car field, and Mark's 6.02 qualified #3. He lasted until the semifinal. He then went to Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals, where the team got its first win of the year by defeating Raymond Beadle, who was driving the "Blue Max" in the final. The following week (May 29), Mark took the pole at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals with a 5.90 (Low ET) at 243.24. By now, the team was becoming the car to watch. Billy Meyer overpowered the track in the opening round and smoked the tires against him, and Mark's 6.21/229.59 advanced. Don Prudhomme did the same in the semifinal, and Mark ran 6.02/249.99 (Top Speed). He faced Segrini in the final, and both ran 6.17 (Oswald at 241.28), but Al crossed the stripe first for the win. Oswald wasn't down for long as he then went to Bristol on June 5 and won the IHRA Springnationals. He qualified #1 with a 5.92 and then beat a tire-smoking Tom McEwen in the first round with a 6.13/240.00. In the semifinal, he set Top Speed with a 6.52/248.61 that beat Beadle. He faced Prudhomme in the final, and Mark cut a great light while the "Snake" didn't. Oswald's 6.00/236 beat Don's better 5.86/245. The team "only" qualified #8 at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.02/247.93 (Top Speed). But Mark had a bit of luck on his side. His 6.19/240.00 defeated a crossed-up Frank Mancuso in the first round. John Force smoked the tires hard in round two, and Oswald advanced with a 6.18/241.93. Johnson had his parachute deploy early in the semifinal, and Mark won with a 6.41/222.22. In the final, he faced Beadle, and Raymond's 6.05/238 got the victory over Mark's 6.27/235.60. Still, with the runner-up finish, Oswald now sat second in the NHRA FC points chase with his 2,980 running behind Hawley's 3,730. Early in July, the team made the trip to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. Mark's 5.97/247.25 qualified second to Prudhomme at 5.91. Seeming bogus times were given in the first round to both Hawley and Oswald, but Mark's 5.62 at only 240.00 beat Force's 6.08/240. In the semifinal, he ran 6.07/243.90 to beat Ken Veney. He faced Prudhomme in the final, and another holeshot got the "Candies and Hughes" team the win. Mark's 6.34/245.245.23 beat the "Snake's" 6.31/241. The following week (July 10), he was in Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. Mark qualified #4 but failed to reach the finals. Then came the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown. In qualifying, Mark had made runs of 5.90/228.42, 5.99/235.36, and 5.93/251.39. His times set Low ET and Top Speed. His 5.88/248.61 in the first round beat Tom McEwen's 5.93/247. In round two, Segrini's 6.11/243 fell to Oswald's 5.92/249.30. Johnson's "Custom Body" car broke a rear end in the semifinal and a 5.95/243 advanced. In the final, he raced Force, and John's 6.00/245 finished second to Mark's 5.92/251.39. It was quite a performance, and it brought Oswald within 19 points of Hawley in the points chase. Hawley gained some points back at Denver. Oswald qualified #5 for the NHRA Mile High Nationals for the eight-car field with a 6.14/243.24, and Frank qualified #1. That set up a first-round meeting between the two that saw Hawley's 6.08/233 beat Mark's 6.18/242.58. Hawley went on to win. At Brainerd, he lost more points to Hawley. Mark qualified #4 at the NHRA Northstar Nationals with a 5.89/250.69. He beat Ron Correnti in round one, and in round two, his 5.95/248 took out Segrini. In the semifinal, the car broke against Bernstein. Hawley made the final and finished runner-up. The point spread was now at 8,097 for Frank to Mark's 6,600. Mark had earned enough points (1265) to qualify first for the Big Bud Shootout at Indy. In the first round of the specialty race, he ran 5.86/250.00 to beat Tom Anderson. Another 5.86 at 251.39 in the semifinal was not enough to beat Bernstein's 5.81/256. The actual race at the NHRA U.S. Nationals saw Oswald's 5.86/253.52 qualify #5. In the first round, his 6.15/236.22 defeated Dale Pulde's 6.27/234. In round two, Bernstein got him again. Mark's late 5.88/257.87 (Top Speed and a new track record) lost to Kenny's 5.93/250. The points now stood at 8,917 for Hawley to Oswald's 7,484. The next week (September 11), he picked up the win at the IHRA U.S. Open Championships at Rockingham. He qualified #3, and he set a 254.23 track speed record. He also set Low ET in the semifinal with his 5.83/253 beating Beadle. In the final, Pulde's 5.96 lost to Mark's 5.84. Going into the IHRA Fallnationals at Bristol, Oswald was also second in the IHRA's FC points chase. He was just 54 markers behind Beadle. The two qualified one-two, with Mark's 5.74/253.52 (Top Speed and Low ET) getting the pole. He soloed in the first round when Bernstein broke, and a 5.89 beat Correnti in the semifinal. In the other semifinal race, Beadle smoked the tires and lost to Pulde. Oswald was the IHRA FC Champion for '83, and in the final, he also won the race with his 5.79/252.80 topping Pulde's 5.85/245. In his funny car debut at Pomona, Oswald ran a 7.335/126.93 to DNQ. He ran 254.23 on March 11, 1983, at the 1983 Gators to become the fifth entry in the Crane Cams 250 mph Club for Funny Car. Photo from '83 Cajun Nationals. NHRA time sheets credit him with a 5.621 Low ET in eliminations at Sanair. Frank Hawley was credited with a 5.716 in that round. It seems fishy, but it's on the sheets. Low ET for Top Fuel cars there was Richard Tharp's 5.662! Mark's booming 257.87 was actually a massive holeshot loss in round two at Indy; Kenny Bernstein treed him, .472 to .546, and then held on to take a 5.930/250 to 5.888/257.87 win (.032 second margin of victory - about 12 feet). Mark ran a 5.825 at NHRA Fremont for his second-best ET of the year. |

Notes: Began the year in the old car. When did the team switch to the new car? They were the fifth alternate at Pomona at 6.322/233.52 and 5.795/248.61 at Gainesville (#10 qualifier and then a first-round loss at 6.299/186.87 to Ed McCulloch's 5.751/250.69. We need to validate that this car ran both those events (or others). |

Notes: One of the biggest surprises at the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona in '86 was Oswald's not qualifying for the show. His best attempt yielded only a 9.56/87.89. That was nowhere near the 6.09 "bump spot." The team then went to Atlanta for an eight-car show. Mark was still not running up to par, qualifying #7 with a 6.61/237.46. A first-round 6.38/247.93 (Top Speed) beat Billy Meyer, who shut off, but in the semifinals, he shut off and lost to Tom Hoover's 5.86 (Low ET) at 236. In Gainesville, things went much better for the NHRA Gatornationals, where Mark ran a 5.70/263.00 (Top Speed) to qualify #2. In the first round, an even better 5.65/259.36 beat a tire-smoking John Lombardo in the "Blue Max." In the second round, it was Oswald who smoked the tires and shut off to a 13.96/49.71 that lost to Ed McCulloch. Due to a rain delay, the Gatornats were run the same weekend as the IHRA Winternationals, so obviously, they didn't run the Darlington race. But they did make IHRA's second event, the Bayou Nationals at Louisiana Raceway Park. Oswald qualified #1 and beat McCulloch in the final for the victory. He lost to Jim Head in the first round, at the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta after qualifying #2 with a 5.72/258.91 behind Kenny Bernstein's 5.67/260. On May 4, the team was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Oswald qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 5.70, but he was upset in the opening round by Steve Hodkinson. Mark's off-pace 6.05/205.94 fell to Steve's low buck car that won with a 5.88/246. Early in June, Oswald went to Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. His 5.76/263.11 (Top Speed) qualified #4. He improved to 5.74/260.11 to defeat Force's 5.78/253 in round one, but he lost in the battle of the "beer cars" in the semifinal, where his 5.78/257.14 fell to Bernstein's 5.71/252. Mark qualified #5 at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals with a 5.75/249.86. In their first-round race, Hodkinson crossed the center line against him, and Oswald advanced with a 5.92/246.77. John Force also crossed the centerline against him in the second round, and once again, Mark advanced, this time at 5.84/252.59. This did not happen again in the semifinal, as eventual winner Tom McEwen laid a straight as an arrow 5.85/236 on him to beat the Firebird's 5.94/251.81. Another win finally came at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Mark set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with a 5.65/259.66 (speed was a new track record). He continued to run strong through eliminations, and in the semifinal, his 5.76/255.17 beat Force's 5.84/253. The only problem was, Bernstein won his semifinal race with a 5.72/255, giving him lane choice in the final. Crew Chief Leonard Hughes had to be given a lot of credit in this win as he didn't dial in too much power and smoke the tires. Oswald won the final with a 5.76/255.76 over Kenny's 5.80/250. The following week (June 22), he also won the IHRA Gateway Nationals at St. Louis. He qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 5.84/247.25. Larry Gould's 6.67/212 fell to his 5.89/252.80 in the opening round, and Mark reset both ends of the track record in the semifinal with a 5.77/254.95 that beat Paul Smith's 6.12/222 in the "Custom Body" car. He faced McEwen in the final, and there was no stopping the "Candies and Hughes" car on this day as Mark's 5.80/254.95 easily took the win over Tom's off-pace 6.19/176. At the end of June, the team was in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. A 5.69/260.25 got the pole, but Mark and Brad Tuttle fried the tires in the opening round. Brad's 6.59/251 came out on top over Oswald's 6.61/251. It was probably the best race to watch of round one. The two "beer cars then met again in the final at Milan Dragway for the IHRA Northern Nationals. They qualified one and two, with Bernstein's 5.81/256 getting the pole over Oswald's 5.87/245.90. Mark ran an easy 6.03/239.36 to advance in round one, when Doc Halladay broke. In the semifinal, he stepped it up to a 5.91/249 to beat a crossed-up Ed McCulloch. Bernstein had the edge in performance at this event, and it stayed true in the final where his 5.87/253 got the victory over Mark's 5.99/238.09 runner-up effort. Photo from Indy 1986. Mark also ran 265 at IHRA Bristol and won the 1986 IHRA championship. He also ran 5.619 at the 1986 Chiefs at Ennis. Original pre-Internet draglist entry. Listed times from The Drag Racing List December 86/January 87, Volume 1, Number 9. | Cool rear spoiler. Oswald, smoking the tires, also beat Bernstein wire-to-wire in the final of the '86 Mile-Highs, a hell of a race on YouTube. Bernstein didn't smoke 'em, and Oswald still beat him. - Joe Moore |

Notes: After running a Pontiac for the last few seasons, Paul Candies and Leonard Hughes got the Ford deal when Kenny Bernstein went to Buick for '87. The team started the year with Oswald driving the car to a 5.52/268.65 (Top Speed) in qualifying #2 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. In the first round, he won a close one over Tom Hoover when both recorded 5.76 (Oswald at 256.33). But in round two, the car overpowered the track, and Mark smoked the tires to 9.51/90.68, losing John Martin's 5.83/209. At Darlington, the team got a lot of photo coverage during qualifying when a blower exploded and lifted the body off the chassis. We needless to say, they failed to qualify. By the NHRA Gatornationals, a week later, a new body was installed. Mark qualified #3 with a 5.59/266.98 (Top Speed). But in the opening round, Mark was surprised by Bruce Larson, who ran a career-best 5.68/261 to beat his 5.74/265.17. More disappointment came at the April NHRA Winston All-Star event held at the Texas Motorplex. It was an eight-car show. Oswald ran 5.67/262 twice during qualifying and failed to make the cut (first alternate). The next NHRA race was the Southern Nationals at Atlanta. A 5.73/263.08 qualified #5 and an easy 5.97/250.00 in the first round beat Steve Hodkinson. But in round two, his 5.68/263.26 lost to eventual winner Bernstein's 5.61/264. The following week (May 3), the team was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. On one unofficial qualifying pass, Mark ran 263.62, which would have been good enough for Top Speed of the meet regardless of class if it was official. In the first round, his 5.74/251.39 beat Hoover, but bad luck in the form of a broken blower belt cost the team in the semifinal against Jim Head. The next stop was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. Mark qualified #3 with a 5.82/256.26, but then it rained, and the race was delayed one week. The team decided to go to Bristol instead for the IHRA Springnationals. Mark set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 5.64 at 263.15. A first-round 5.80/252 beat Scott Kalitta, while in the semifinals, his 5.77/260 took out Hoover. This put the team in their first final round of '87. Mark's final round opponent was Mike Dunn driving Joe Pisano's car, who had ripped off a 270 mph run in eliminations. Unfortunately, Mark spun the tires in the final and shut off, giving Dunn the win at 5.78/257. A week later (June 7), the Candies and Hughes team was at Atco for the IHRA Summernationals. Finally, things "clicked" for them. Mark qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 5.75/263.92. Darrell Amberson broke on the line against him in the opening round, and Oswald advanced with a 5.73/247.25. A semifinal 5.57/263.92 beat a tire-smoking Doc Halladay and put the T-Bird into another final. This time, Mark faced veteran Ed McCulloch who had set a 5.51 track record earlier. The two had a great close race, with Oswald's 5.60/265.48 (Top Speed) winning over McCulloch's 5.60. With this win, Oswald led the IHRA Funny Car points standings over second-place Halladay. The team needed a little luck on the NHRA side of things. It didn't happen at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. There Mark "only" qualified #10 with a 5.80/252.18. He improved to 5.76/256.33 in the first round to beat John Force's 5.75/250, but a tire-smoking shut-off 12.42/65.82 lost to D. A. Santucci's 5.80/253. The team followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the Grandnationals, where only 15 cars showed for the sixteen-car field. Oswald took it easy in qualifying, running 6.04/248.07 for the #11 spot. This set up a first-round meeting with Bernstein. Mark was up for it, and his 5.88/238.24 put Bernstein's 5.95/245 on the trailer. Mark improved by two-tenths in round two, where his 5.68/260.26 (Top Speed) beat Al Hofmann. Unfortunately, he lost to McCulloch in the semifinals. In the first week of July, the team was in Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. He set Top Speed during qualifying at 266.27. Oswald reached the final by running 5.75/254.23 in the first round over Jim White, who broke, and then he beat Darrel Amberson in the semifinal. This put him into the final against low qualifier Bernstein. The two had a great race, but Bernstein's 5.67/260 beat Oswald's 5.76/254 runner-up effort. RH | Also ran 5.428 and 5.449 at Ennis 10/87 and 5.492 at 87 Keystones. Confirmed 270.43 at Pomona Finals 87. Did the team run 276 somewhere this year? Direct drive or two-speed?

Notes: Confirmed 5.337 at 277.00 at Seattle and Pomona Finals 1988. Also 5.378 from Indy 1988. Where was this 5.290/278 from? Photo from Milan, MI, 1988. | Oswald started the '88 season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he qualified #6 with a 5.45. He beat Chuck Etchells in the first round, and in round two, a 5.49/262 beat a tire-smoking Kenny Bernstein. But in the semifinals, Mark got out of shape and shut off against Jim Head. The team then went to Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals where they promptly smoked the tires in the first round, and lost to Ed McCulloch. A week later, on March 20, they were at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Mark qualified #4 with a 5.37/275.98 and in round one, defeated Bruce Larson. In the second round, a 5.78/264 beat Scott Kalitta. He moved into the finals by running a 5.44/270 over a tire smoking Don Prudhomme. But a final round 5.35/278 by Bernstein ended the day for Oswald. He made up for the loss by winning the IHRA Supernationals at DeSoto Dragway, Bradenton, on March 27. The race was originally slated to run on March 6, but it was rained out. Mark ran 5.62 and 5.66 to work his way into the final where his final round 5.67/249 took the victory over Kalitta's close 5.69/256. At IHRA's Texas Nationals, Mark ran well again. He ran 5.42/267 in the first round, and in round two, a 5.40/267.06 beat Tim Grose. But a consistent 5.41/266.03 in the semifinals lost to Mike Dunn's 5.39/275. Oswald made it into the semifinals at the next event as well, the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta. Mark advanced past the first-round with a 5.67, and in round two, a 5.55/260 got around an out of shape Tom Hoover. But he lost to McCulloch's Low ET of the meet 5.52 in the semis. On May 1 they were at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Mark qualified #2 and in the first round, he advanced with a 5.83/260.11 when Etchells broke. In the semifinals, he fouled against Head. Mark got his first NHRA victory of the year at Memphis for the Mid-South Nationals on May 15. A 5.59 qualified #4 and be beat Larson in round one. A 5.55/268.73 (Top Speed) beat Grose in round two and in the semifinals, a 5.62/268 beat Head. In the final, he out drove McCulloch by running a 5.55/267 to win over the "Ace's" 5.54/262. A week later (May 22) he was back in the winner's circle at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. He stopped Hoover in the semifinals with a 5.64/261.17 and went on to win the event by running 5.65/259.51 in the final over Dale Pulde's 5.75/224 in Billy Meyer's car. On May 29, he made it as far as the semis at the NHRA Cajun Nationals. In his semifinal race, he hazed the tires and lost to Bernstein. At Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, they went out early when Oswald smoked the tires and crossed the centerline in the first round, against Pulde. Things went far better at the NHRA Grandnationals in Canada. Mark ran 5.47/266.98 to qualify #3, and then ran 5.59, 5.55/264, and a semifinal 5.49/267 over a fouling John Force to meet up with Prudhomme in the final. The "Snake" took the win with a 5.44/260, but it was still a good showing for the "Candies and Hughes" team. They followed it up with another runner-up finish at Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals on July 10. Mark set Low ET and a new track record with a 5.52 at 256.11 in the first round, while beating R.C. Sherman and in the semifinal, he only needed a 6.00/178.64 to advanced over a tire smoking Pulde. In the final, it was Mark's turn to smoke the tires and he shut off to a 9.89/74.97 to lose to McCulloch's 5.54/265. A week later found the team at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. A 5.49/261.78 qualified #6. He beat Eric Reed in the first round, but he lost to the race's eventual winner Prudhomme, in round two. |

Notes: At Pomona for the Winternationals, Mark didn't qualify all that well with a 5.44/269.13 fitting in the #11 spot. He improved to a first-round 5.34/274.05 over Ed McCulloch, but in the second round, he lost to Chris Lane's 7.17/246 to Mark's 7.50/170.71 in a troubled run for both drivers. He qualified much better at the next NHRA race, the Supernationals, where a 5.29/272.23 put him in the #3 spot. Mark made it into the semifinals before smoking the tires and losing to Bruce Larson. At the Gatornationals, the team again qualified #3 with a 5.34/271.41 getting the spot. Unfortunately, they lost to Art Hendey in the second round. A 5.55/260.86 qualified in the dreaded #9 position at the Southern Nationals setting up a first-round matchup against low qualifier Larson. Bruce triumphed over Oswald in that race. By the fifth race of the season, the Mid-South Nationals at Memphis, the team was getting antsy to win. A 5.36/275.06 qualified #4, and Mark ran 5.38 over Eric Reed in the first round. In the second round, he got a break when John Force broke at half-track and a 5.40/259 advanced into the semifinals to meet Don Prudhomme. In that race, a 5.41/272 beat Prudhomme's quicker 5.39, and the "Candies and Hughes" car was in its first final of '89. All good things come to an end, and in the final against Kenny Bernstein, the Probe broke, giving Kenny a single for the win. It was off to the Cajun Nationals on May 28 for the sixth stop on the NHRA tour. A 5.44/266.66 qualified #2 just behind Prudhomme. Mark beat a tire-smoking Force in the first round with a 5.52/264. A second-round 5.57 lost to McCulloch's 5.46. It was then off to National Trail for the Springnationals, where Mark qualified #5 with a 5.34/271.49. An even better 5.32 in the first round beat Frank Kramberger, but the car broke after his burnout against Tom Hoover in the second round. The tour then traveled to Canada for the Grandnationals. Oswald ran 5.51/253.95 to qualify #2. He beat R.C Sherman in the first round, with a 5.49/246.23 and a second-round 5.60/256.55 beat Force's 5.63/263. In the semi's, another 5.60/238.98 beat Hendey and set up another final round matchup against Bernstein. Oswald didn't break this time, but his 5.54/258.69 just lost to Kenny's 5.51/265. At Englishtown for the Summernationals, a 5.36 qualified #4. He beat Jerry Caminito in the first round, but against Don Gay Jr. in round two, the Probe broke. It was beginning to become a long winless season for the team when they rolled into Denver for the Mile High Nationals. They qualified #3 with a 5.59/253.09 and beat Gay Jr. in the first round and in round two a 5.64/249 beat Force's 5.70. In the semifinals against Bernstein, Mark beat him with a track record 5.50 at 258, putting himself in the final against Larson. In the final, Oswald ran a 5.62 but lost it on the starting line to Bruce's slower 5.66. The eleventh race of the season was the California Nationals on July 30. Once again, the team made it to the finals. A 5.40/274.47 qualified #4. He beat Mike Dunn in the first round, and in the second round, both he and Hendey smoked the tires with Oswald's 6.49/239.61 coming out on top. Mark pulled a driving job on McCulloch in the semifinals beating Ed's 5.47/270 with a 5.49/267.85. In the final, he ran Prudhomme, who had set Low ET and Top Speed (5.30/276.49). Mark picked it up in the final to a 5.36/274.72 but still lost to the "Snake's" 5.32/272. It was the fourth runner-up finish of the year for the team. The tour continued to Seattle for the Seafair Nationals. Mark qualified #8 with a 5.43/266.27 but lost to R.C. Sherman in the first round. Another first-round loss came at the next event, the Northstar Nationals. A 5.46/263.23 qualified #7. In the first round, the Probe spun the tires to a 6.12/248.07 and lost to Larry Camenzind's 5.94/212. The bad luck continued right into Indy for the US Nationals. The team qualified #5 with a 5.33/272.06, but upstart Scott Kalitta beat them in the first round. After losing in the first round at the last three events, the team rebounded somewhat at the Keystone Nationals at Maple Grove. Mark qualified #2 with a 5.21/283.10. A 5.29/265.09 advanced when Tom Hoover fouled in the first round. In round two, he backed up his qualifying marks for both ends of the NHRA record when he beat Tony McCallum with a 5.23/279.50. Unfortunately, Mark smoked the tires to a shut-off 8.86/87.20 loss to Force's 5.34/276 in the semifinals. At the Texas Motorplex for the Chief Nationals, a 5.19/280.19 (Top Speed) qualified #3. Oswald beat Mike Dunn in the first round, with a 5.24 and a second-round 5.29/273.39 beat Al Hofmann in round two. Mark finally got one back from Larson in the semifinal when his 5.23/281.60 beat Bruce's close 5.24/274. In the final, he met Prudhomme, and while Don blasted to a 5.26/269 victory, Mark smoked the tires to another runner-up finish. The team got its first #1 qualifying position of the year at the Fallnationals at Firebird Raceway with a 5.41 (Low ET) doing the deed. Things looked rosy until Mike Dunn put them on the trailer in the first round. It was back to Pomona for the season-ending World Finals, where a 5.28 (Low ET) at 279.41 got their second pole of the year. In the first round, he beat Hoover with a new NHRA Top Speed record of 283.28, but he ended his season in the next round against McCulloch when Mark spun the tires and lost to Ed's 5.56/264. Also, set the record at 5.214 at Maple Grove 9/89 and 5.298/283.10 National Records at 89 Supernationals. The 283.28 National Record was the fastest NHRA speed of the decade (second only to Scott Kalitta's 286.62 at IHRA Ennis 1988). Also, great 5.232 at 89 Chiefs was part of the quickest side-by-side pass (Bruce Larson 5.247). Also, 281.60 at Chiefs was half of the fastest side-by-side pass (Larson 274.72). Mark Oswald and the "Candies and Hughes" team had a good season in '89 despite finishing the season fourth in points. Photo from Columbus 1989. |

Notes: After Don Prudhomme and Kenny Bernstein switched to Top Fuel for the '90 season, everyone expected this team to dominate. Things didn't work out that way. Mark started '90 by qualifying #3 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.29/279.41 (Top Speed). He lost to Art Hendey in the first round. At Firebird Raceway for the NHRA Arizona Nationals, Mark's 5.40/275.06 qualified #8. In the first round, he had a close race with Ed McCulloch that saw his 5.37/277.77 defeat Ed's 5.37/265. In round two, another 5.37 at 275.48 beat K.C. Spurlock's slightly quicker 5.36/276. Both he and opponent Bruce Larson had problems in their semifinal race, but Larson's tire-smoking 6.43/147 beat Oswald, who shut down to a 10.97/71.03. The next NHRA event was the Supernationals in Texas. Mark qualified #4 with a 5.32/282.22 (Top Speed). An even better 5.30/278.37 in the first round, beat Gary Densham, and he got a solo in round two when Tom Hoover could not show. Mark ran a wheelstanding 7.29 to advance. In the semifinals, his 5.41/283.10 lost to eventual winner John Force's 5.28/278. The team's next stop was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. A 5.36/276.41 qualified #4, and a 5.63/231.24 in the opening round beat Frank Kramberger's 5.68/261. But Oswald lost to eventual winner McCulloch in round two. He then went to Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. This was an eight-car show; his 5.35/278.12 (Top Speed) qualified #6. His times were not great, but Oswald made it into the final. He started by running 5.48/272.23 in the opening round to beat Jim White in the "Hawaiian." Both he and Larson smoked the tires in the semifinal, with Mark's 5.62/267.69 coming out on top over Bruce's 5.86/247. He faced John Force in the final, and the two put on a great race as both ran 5.43 (Oswald at 277.26), but Force crossed the stripe first for the victory. Atlanta was a race Oswald would rather forget. The car kept dropping cylinders on every pass. He "only" qualified #14 with a 5.64/277.34, and he was out after the first round as McCulloch's 5.35/267 beat his 5.48/268.81 and went on to win. But as bad as Atlanta had been, Memphis was the exact opposite. Mark qualified #7 with a 5.36/281.16, beating Johnny West in the first round. He had a close race with Spurlock in round two, where both ran 5.37 (Oswald at 278), but Mark crossed the line first. A 5.40/265 in the semifinals stopped Larson's 5.50, and Oswald found himself in the final against McCulloch. He got some payback from the last couple of losses to the "Ace" by running a 5.42/279.15 in the final over Ed's 5.47/265. Baton Rouge was the next stop on the NHRA calendar for the Cajun Nationals. Oswald qualified #3 with a 5.43/273.14. He beat Del Denton in the first round, and despite smoking the tires to a 6.85/145 in round two, he won when Neely fouled. But he smoked the tires once again in the semifinals and lost to Richard Hartman. He also made it as far as the semifinals at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #6 with a 5.44/272.06 and, in round one, beat Hartman's 5.52/260 with another 5.44 at 274.55. Larson fouled against him in round two, and Mark advanced with a 5.45/274.30. But in the semifinals, Oswald fouled against White. The team then went to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals, where Mark's 5.45/268.97 qualified #4. Things went fairly well for the team. A 5.49 in the opening round beat Al Hofmann, and a second-round 5.47/267 beat Tom Hoover. Mark's driving in the semifinal got the car into the final as his 5.43/268.41 defeated Larson's 5.42/269. Oswald even had lane choice over Force for their final round meeting, but Mark had problems and shut down to 10.92/70.15 while Force won with a 5.40/267. Photo from Columbus 1989. |

Notes: Won Winston Invitational in 1992. Made history in round one at Ennis, when Mark Oswald powered to the best Funny Car speed ever, 5.163/293.06, in beating Dale Pulde. Mark also went 5.161 at Seattle and 5.188/290.79 at Maple Grove. We think he drove the Petosa Bros. car exclusively starting in Gainesville (he definitely drove it there). The team qualified well at every event but suffered terrible consistency problems on race day, leaving them first or second-round losers for most of the year. We need to confirm that he did not run the In-N-Out Cutlass at any of the other late-season NHRA events. |

Notes: Mark drove this car at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #7 with a 5.310/280.63. In the first round, both he and his opponent Mark Sievers smoked the tires, and Oswald's 7.469/155.84 lost to Sievers' 6.93/213. The "In-N-Out" crew then ran the car at the NHRA Arizona Nationals. A 5.357/274.72 qualified #5. Once again, he lost in the first round, this time to Johnny West, 5.59/267 to 6.817/137.88. They then went to Houston for the NHRA Supernationals, where Mark qualified the car #3 with a 5.266/281.60. But the first-round "blues" got him when he lost to Richard Hartman, 5.47/277 to 7.607/113.20. The team went to Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals and qualified #2 with a 5.55/226.47, but the jinx persisted, and his first-round 5.84/243.50 lost to Freddie Neely's 5.81/251. Mark drove the In-n-Out car & Petosa Bros. Daytona, switching back & forth for 1992. He was in the Daytona at Gainesville, and we think he drove that car at all remaining NHRA national event appearances (need confirmation). The team came out with a new body during IHRA Springnationals but blew it off on its first run, which was also its last run. Fans carried off large portions of it as souvenirs. Photo from the 1992 IHRA Winter Nationals. |
