Notes: Dale Pulde might have only been a teenager when he began racing funny cars, but he was a very capable teenager. Some say Pulde was and is the best driver ever. The Charlie Wilson owned "Vicious Too" 1967 Camaro was Dale's second funny car ride. The flip-top Camaro replaced the mean "Vicious Vette. " Vicious Too was a mid-pack runner with Pulde driving, usually running in the mid- to low-eights. The car was powered by a 427 Chevrolet Rat engine backed a B&M automatic transmission. Cragar sponsored the Camaro, and the car ran the heavy Cragar S/ST wheels instead of the standard Halibrands of the day. Pulde drove the car in 1968 and 1969 running a best of 7.91 at 184.

Notes: Was Dee Keaton involved with this car, too? Earl Wade was a partner in this car. | Dale drove this car at the big 32-car show at Irwindale on November 14. He beat Andy Clary's 'Cuda in the first round, with a 7.75/134.12. He singled in round two when John Bateman's Maverick failed to fire. In the third round, Dave Condit's car was unable to run so Dale made a 7.17/160.14 single. The easy runs came to an end when he faced Jim Dunn in the semifinal. Dunn's 7.25/155 put away Pulde who shut off early. On December 12, he was at Irwindale's Toys for Tots race. He qualified #7 in the eight-car field with a 7.44, but he improved to a 7.16/203.60 in the first round, to beat Richard Tharp in the "Blue Max." Unfortunately, in the semifinals, he lost a blower on the line and Don Prudhomme soloed into the final with a strong 6.98.

Notes: Mike Gagnon information. Pulde was driving this car in August when he set a 7.45 track record at the Coca-Cola Cavalcade race at Great Meadows, NJ. He ran that ET in the first round, at 191.48 in beating Kelly Chadwick's 7.58/187. The two cars met again in the second round with the roles being reversed when Chadwick's 7.48/185 beat Pulde's 7.85/187.50.

Notes: The '71 Pinto was the team car to a '71 Mach 1 driven by Henry Harrison. With trick titanium Woody chassis, the cars were somewhat lighter. Although they started with Ford motors, both ended up with Hemis early in the year. Harrison qualified the Mach 1 low at '71 Indy (6.54), but Pulde eventually made the final while running 6.80s, losing to the Ace as the Pinto went up in flames. (Did Dale run a 6.7 against a fouling Dick Rosberg in round two? All his other runs were in the 6.80s, including a 6.819 in qualifying). In '72, the Pinto was painted red, and the Mach 1 was replaced by a blue Vega. | Pinto ran 223 at Minneapolis 71. - Dale Pulde, 7/3/15 | Mickey Thompson believed that the car's body should match the engine underneath. So, when the '71 season started, both his cars were using the Boss 429 engine. Of course, the motor used M/T rods and pistons. Howards supplied the cam. A Lenco two-speed fed the power back to Quick-change rear end designed and built by Mickey Thompson. The Pinto was unusual as it used a titanium chassis. In January, the Pinto was still using the Boss 429 engine at the Lions AHRA Grand American race. Dale qualified the car #2 among the "seeded" machines. But in the first round, Dale got out of shape and crossed the centerline, handing the win to Richard Tharp in the "Blue Max." The car failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Pulde did qualify at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. He beat Bob Harris in the first round, with a 7.79, but a second-round 7.65/186.72 lost to Dick Rosberg's 7.36/191 in the "Fighting Irish" Camaro. At the Bakersfield March Meet, the team took an early loss when Dave Condit, driving the "L. A. Hooker," beat Dale in the opening round. Shortly after this, Pulde was at OCIR for an eight-car show. He qualified #5 and faced Condit again in the first round, with the same results: his 7.20/206.89 lost to Condit's 6.87/216. The Boss 429 powered car was able to get a win when Pulde drove it to victory over an eight-car field at Lions on March 20. A first-round 7.02/205.47 got around a sideways Gene Conway, and in the semifinals, Pulde had to rerun Conway after he got reinstated on the "break rule." Once again, Pulde led him down the track, this time running 7.06/208.33 (Top Speed) over Gene's 7.12. He faced the always tough Dave Beebe driving Nelson Carter's "Super Chief" in the final. Dale's times in eliminations were two tenths better than Beebe had been running, but in the final, both ran 7.26 (Dale at 206.89), with the M/T car getting the win. On April 18, Dale was at West Palm Beach for the Pro-Am Championships, AHRA's third Grand American race. Dale ran 7.85 in qualifying, and he even managed to beat Gene Snow in the second round, where they both ran 7.29. But in the semifinals, his 7.53 lost to eventual winner Art Higginbotham's 6.94. Early in May, Dale was at York for the Super Stock Magazine Championships. A quick-leaving 7.34 beat Conway's 7.23 in the first round, but he got out of shape in round two and shut down to 11.67 in a loss to Tim Kushi's 7.20. The car was having trouble just qualifying for the shows. Even with the win, the car was not up to speed, and shortly after this, a Hemi took the place of the Boss 429.

Notes: Won AHRA Winternationals 1972. | At the end of June through the July 4 weekend, I ran nine races in 14 days! Set the track record at Beech Bend at 6.45/220.04 over the July 4 weekend. - Dale Pulde, 7/3/15 | Pulde started the season with a win at the AHRA Winternationals at Beeline, but he had to beat the "killer car" of the day not once but twice to get the victory. Dale ran a 6.71 in the semifinals to beat Pat Foster's 6.72 in the bucks-up "Barry Setzer Vega." Leroy Goldstein won the other semifinal race but broke and could not make the final. That meant that Dale would race Foster again for the title. Dale won that final with a 6.68 over Pat's 6.85. The MT Pinto was at the Lions Grand Premiere race, and Dale beat Bill Leavitt's 7.11 in the first round, with a 6.79/215.82, but he lost in round two. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, once again, Pulde met Foster. It happened in the semifinals, and they both smoked the tires, with Dale's 7.57 beating the Vega's 7.78. In the final, he ran Ed McCulloch, and the Pinto lost a motor, giving Ed the victory. The team was at Lakeland on March 6 for the IHRA Winternationals. A 6.96 qualified #6 in the field. He beat Charlie Wilson in the first round with a 7.02, and in round two, he beat a crossed-up Jim Liberman. A 7.15 beat Preston Davis in the semifinal, and he found himself in another final round. Unfortunately, he crossed the centerline in the final, and Richard Tharp in the "Blue Max" won. Dale lost in the second round to McCulloch at the AHRA Pro-Am race at West Palm Beach. Pulde had one of the four cars competing at Chandler Raceway in Indiana late in April. He did well, winning his races and reaching the final round against Clare Sanders, driving the "Chi-Town Hustler." Dale got the jump and looked like he had this one in the bag when the car suddenly got out of shape and almost went off the track and into the grass. He obviously had to shut it down and watch as Sanders roared past. He was at Rockingham on April 30 for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. It didn't go smoothly for the MT team, as they lost two engines. The second engine let go while winning his second-round race, and he could not run against Foster in the semifinal. Pulde was one of 22 cars attempting to qualify at the IHRA Longhorn Nationals at Dallas. His 6.84 qualified #6, and in the opening round, he singled with a 6.70 when Charlie Therwhanger lost his 'chute on the line. In round two, he improved to 6.53 at 205.47 to beat Jake Johnston's 6.95/202, but in the semifinals, the Pinto lost a rear end, and eventual winner Tharp soloed into the final. The team's next stop was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. Dale qualified #13, and in his first-round meeting with Gene Snow, the car kicked off its blower belt while Snow made for the big end. He was at Rockford for the East-West meet, and it was an unusual 12-car show. Twenty-four cars attempted to qualify, and Pulde's 7.20 got him the #9 spot. Unfortunately, he failed to reach the finals there. Things went well at the AHRA Marathon Nationals in Marion County in July. There was even a little bit of lady luck riding on their side as in the semifinals, Don Prudhomme beat Pulde but lost a motor while doing it. In the final, Pulde was reinstated to run Leroy Goldstein driving the "Candies and Hughes" car. It was a close race, but Dale's 6.88 nipped Leroy's 6.89 for the gold.

Notes: After a blower explosion earlier in the summer damaged Dale's regular ride, the red Mickey Thompson Pinto, a decision was made to bring Mickey's other car, the blue Mickey Thompson Vega, back from the West Coast. At the 1972 IHRA Summernationals (Dragway 42, West Salem, OH), Dale qualified the Vega fourteenth. He beat Gary Bolger, Al Marshall, and Fritz Callier in advancing to the final round, running a best of 6.64/221.67. In the final, he met Clare Sanders (Ramchargers Demon) and lost 6.54/229 to his 6.71/226.69. | Pulde drove Vega at AHRA Olathe, KS 8/72 and AHRA West Salem, OH 72 (RU) per Dale Pulde and Dennis Doubleday - Danny White

Notes: Pulde first drove Mickey Thompson's Grand Am at St. Louis in early May. He made his debut in the car a successful one as he won over an eight-car field, stopping Ronnie Runyan's Chevy-powered Vega in the final. Shortly after this, he was at the AHRA Grand American at Green Valley, but he lost to eventual winner Don Prudhomme in round two. He was at the AHRA Grand American at Dragway 42 on May 24, but the car broke in the first round, against Jim Nicoll. Pulde went to Century 21 Raceway in Denver for the AHRA Springnationals on June 3. He used an Ed Pink-built stock-stroke 426 Hemi for this race, and it paid off. Dale beat Ron O'Donnell in the first round, while a quick-leaving 7.40 in round two beat Rob Williams better 7.34. He picked up to 6.77 in the semifinals over Raymond Beadle. This set up a final-round meeting with Art Ward. Dale took the victory with a 6.81/201.79. He was also declared the winner at a four-car show at Tri-City. He won all three of his races and ran a best of 6.68/216 over Gary Bolger, Kenny Safford, and Dick Rosberg. At the Rockford Manufacturers Meet, Pulde showed that he could drive by beating Don Schumacher's quicker 6.66 in round two with a 6.75. But in the third round, he beat Shirley Muldowney, but then the motor let go, and the car went up in flames. Pulde got the car stopped, and he managed to get out. The Grand Am was badly burnt, but Dale was OK. It didn't take Mickey long to fix the car, as on August 5, the team was at St. Louis for the AHRA Gateway Nationals. It was an easy field to qualify in as Dale's 7.46 qualified #13. He beat Gene Snow in the first round, setting up a round two meeting with Prudhomme. Pulde tried hard, but his 6.72 lost to the "Snake's" 6.51. At the AHRA National Challenge race, Dale ran 6.68/217.39 to qualify #14 in the 32-car field. In the first round, he picked up to 6.63 over Pat Foster in the "Barry Setzer" Vega. In the semifinals, he lost to Prudhomme. The following week (September 3), he was at Indianapolis for the NHRA US Nationals. A 6.404/223.32 qualified #6 in the sixteen-car show. Impressive considering that almost 50 cars attempted to qualify. Unfortunately, an off-pace 6.905/225.56 in the first round, lost to Sush Matsubara's 6.62. Pulde was at Fremont on October 14 for the AHRA World Championships. It was a sixteen-car field, and his 6.43 qualified #4. A 6.45 in the opening round beat Gene Snow's off-pace 7.24, and he picked up to 6.37 in the second round to defeat Sush Matsubara's 6.45. Unfortunately, the Grand Am was shut off on the line for leaking oil in the semifinal. Pulde had to watch as Gerry Glenn made a solo to advance into the final. Shortly after that, he was at Irwindale's East/West Funny Car Championships. Pulde smoked the tires hard in the first round, where his 10.54 lost to Prudhomme's 6.74. Ran 6.45 at Bristol. Where did the team run 231.95?

Notes: Pulde was driving the "Lil Demon" at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. His 6.71/211.26 qualified #16 in the 32-car field. In the opening round of eliminations, he ran another 6.71 at 205.94 to beat alternate Bob Williams. But in round two, his 6.83/200.89 lost to eventual winner Don Schumacher's 6.57/214. He then went to Pomona, where he was one of the 58 cars attempting to qualify for the sixteen-car field for the NHRA Winternationals. Unfortunately, he failed to make the show.

Notes: The Grand Am was getting a repaint by Bill Carter before the start of the season. While the team did not race at the AHRA Winternationals, Pulde qualified #2 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.35/222.77. He beat Mike Mitchell in the first round, with a 6.44/217.39, but in round two, he smoked the tires and shut off to 9.79/79.29 in a loss to Dale Emery's 6.46/223 in the "Jeg's" Camaro. Early in March, he was at Amarillo for a best of three match against Gene Snow. The Pontiac won all three races with times of 6.80,6.71 and 6.76. Snow was not far off as his best was 6.72. Pulde's best speed was 203. The team also did not race at the NHRA Gatornationals. On March 23, the M/T car was at Irwindale's Fox Hunt race. It was an eight-car field, and Pulde's 6.66 qualified #6. He the Leroy Goldstein, who was driving the "Mr. Ed" Satellite, had a really close first-round battle that saw Dale's 6.93/215.82 defeat Leroy's similar,6.93/210. He slowed to 7.08/191.89 in a loss to eventual winner Bob Pickett's 6.69/217 in the "Lil Demon" in the semifinal. He won the Seattle Opener in April, stopping Twig Zeigler's 6.48/219 in the final with a 6.49/220. In June, Pulde was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #11 and an off-pace 7.42/157.61 in the opening round lost to Kosty Ivanof's 6.61/192. The following week (June 14), he was at Byron's Manufacturer's Meet. It wasn't a good outing. His 6.85/191.08 fell to Tom McEwen's 6.86/201 in the first round, and in the second, the car caught fire in his race against Denny Savage. A valve cover gasket had failed, and oil got onto the headers causing the fire. Dale got it stopped ok, and there was little damage other than scorched paint. Not long after that, he was in Connecticut for an eight-car show. A 6.73/209.30 beat Fred Goeske's 6.90/210 in the opening round, but the car broke and could not run after that. They did not run at either the NHRA Summernationals or the Grandnationals, but they were at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. Pulde ran 6.44/220.04 to qualify #7. Despite improving to 6.36/220.04 in round one, he lost to Pat Foster's 6.31/221 in John Lombardo's Vega. The next stop was at Ontario Motor Speedway for the NHRA World Finals. Until this time, the car was not setting the world on fire as far as its performance went, but this race changed all that. Dale ran 6.38/224.43 to qualify #6. In the first round, he improved a bit, running 6.33 at just 201.79 to beat Pickett's 6.87/175. Everything changed in round two; his outstanding 6.16/233.76 (Low ET and Top Speed) dumped Don Prudhomme's 6.49/178. This changed everything for Shirl Greer, who had been fighting with Prudhomme for the points championships. Pulde's beating the "Snake" gave Greer the hard-fought title. In the semifinal, Dale banged out another stout number, a 6.17/233.76, but he was late off the line, and he finished second best to Dave Condit's 6.19/226 in the "Plueger and Gyger" Mustang. Condit would go on to win the race. A week later (October 20), Pulde went to Fremont for its National Open. It was an eight-car field. The M/T Pontiac was running well there as well as he set Low ET and Top Speed in the opening round with his 6.38/228.21 beating Prudhomme's 6.41. Beating the "Snake" two weeks in a row was pretty much unheard of. Pulde lasted to the final, where he was to face Roger Garten in the "Warhorse" Mustang. But Dale had a supercharger explosion on the line, and Garten won the rave with a 6.61. Irwindale held its Team Funny Car Championships the next week, and Pulde ran well. A 6.42/205 beat Snow in the opening round. He then lost to Tom Hoover in his second race. Garten fouled against him in his third race. Set new world record for funny cars at 1974 Supernationals / World Finals at Ontario: 6.16/233.76. - RT | Yellow, red, black versions. Also was painted in red this season (raced at Indy '74 in that livery). - CS | Ran 6.44 at Fremont, 6.35 at Pomona, 6.36 at Indy.

Notes: Got an aluminum block in 1975. This Yellow Wildcat was a brand-new body for Indy. The old one was wrecked with Larry driving after a big wheel stand at SIR less than a month before. At the NHRA national event in Indy, Dale qualified #14 (6.371/212.76), beat Paul Smith in Rd. 1 (6.340/211.26 to 6.401/210.28), and then lost to Prudhomme in Rd. 2 (6.219/209.30 to a losing 6.943/157.61). Picture attached. All cars in the left lane of the 2nd round lost. Dale was the quickest of those who ran the left lane. 36 cars tried to make the field at Indy that year. At IHRA Nationals at Dragway 42 that year (qualified #5 – 6.746/168.85), beating Norm Wilcox in the Hawaiian in Rd. 1 (6.54/223.88 to a losing 6.68/214.79), but he was not able to return for Rd. 2. He also drove it at the IHRA U.S. Open Nationals in Rockingham, where he qualified 11th (7.116/190.67), beat Bob Pickett in Mickey Thompson’s car (6.73/187.00), then beat Frank Oglesby (9.60/97.00 to a losing 11.88 with no speed), beat Gene Snow in Rd. 3 (7.87/120.00 as Snow crossed the center line and was dq’d) and then Dale lost to Charles Lee in the Hartsoe Brothers car (7.27/198.00 to a losing 7.77/151.00). At that event, the track was a “little slick,” and the Hartsoe Brothers went down the track 4 times and beat all of the high-powered cars that smoked the tires or had other problems. In September Dale drove the car at the IHRA All American Nationals in Bristol where he qualified #12 (6.745/198.23) and then beat Bob Pickett in Mickey Thompson’s car (7.35/155.17 to a losing 7.63/207.37), beat Kenny Safford in the Mr. Norm’s car (6.56/212.76 to an identical 6.56/212.76) and then lost to Gene Snow in the semi-finals (6.40/226.70 to a losing 6.44/222.77).

Notes: Dale Pulde sure drove for a lot of teams in '75. Near the end of July, he jumped behind the wheel of the "Plueger and Gyger" Mustang. His first event with the car was at the 32-car Coca-Cola Funny Car Championships at Portland. Considering it was his first time out with the car, he did great. A first-round 6.55 beat the car that he would soon be driving at the Nationals, Larry Christopherson's "Arizona Wildcat" Vega at 6.61. In his second race, Dale's 6.54/207 beat Paul Radici. His times were not good enough to reach the final, but he was familiarizing himself with the ride. His second time out with the car came on July 30 at the Funny Car Spectacular in Edmonton, Alberta. He suffered a first-round loss to Kenny Goodell, but then ran 6.91/188 in his second race to beat Terry Capp. An off-pace 7.19 in his third race lost to John Collins' 6.97 in Tom McEwen's second car. The following week, the team was in Seattle for the Seafair Funny Car Championships. It was a big 32-car show, with all cars running three races, and the two Low ET cars advancing to the final. Pulde beat Don Rae in the first round with a 6.71/201, but in the second round, he lost to Twig Zeigler. He was unable to race his third round because the track had an 11:00 pm curfew. His times were not good enough to advance into the final. Dale returned to the Plueger & Gyger machine for the NHRA World Finals. He qualified #8 at 6.316/219.54, but lost in round one to a John Lombardo holeshot, 6.291/229.00 to 6.216/223.88.

Notes: While still partners and running the "Eastern Raider" Pinto in 1974, Al Hanna and Joe Mundet commissioned Rollie Lindblad to build them a new Mustang II as a replacement for the old car. The new Mustang II made its debut in October at the 1974 NHRA Supernationals/World Finals at Ontario Motor Speedway with Al Hanna driving. In late '74 or early '75, there was a split in the partnership when Joe Mundet decided to move to California, and Al Hanna returned to Connecticut. Joe kept the new car and hired Dale Pulde as his driver, while Al continued campaigning the old Pinto; both cars kept the name "Eastern Raider." So, at the beginning of 1975, there were two "Eastern Raiders": the Connecticut-based Pinto and the California-based Mustang II. Dale Pulde was successful early in '75 with the western "Eastern Raider" Mustang II. After not qualifying at the NHRA Winternationals (first alternate at 6.504/211.76), he went on to win the Bakersfield March Meet. He qualified fourth at 6.39/208.81 and ran ETs of 6.63, 6.46, and 6.71 before beating Don Prudhomme in the final. Dale used a 6.53/196.63 to defeat Don's off pace 7.17/141.28. | Dale finished second in 1975 IHRA points to Raymond Beadle. But he drove Larry Christopherson's Arixona Wildcat Vega for at least some of those races. Dale was the fifth alternate at NHRA Columbus (no times available), but we need to confirm which car.
