Notes: Carl qualified on the "bump" for the sixteen-car field at the Super Stock Nationals with a 9.67/143.10. In the opening round of eliminations, his 9.69/141.95 lost to Dave Strickler's 9.31/144. In August, he was at Maple Grove for an eight-car show. In the first round, his 9.69/141.95 beat Richie Zul's 9.89/140. In the semifinal, he advanced when Tom Smallwood crossed the centerline. He faced Stricker in the final, and once against Dave got the best of him, running 9.22/144 for the victory over Ruth's 9.69/141.95 (again) runner-up effort.

Notes: Carl was at Beech Bend for the NHRA Sportsnationals. He qualified #4 with a 6.77/203.15. Another identical 6.77/203.15 lost to eventual winner Gary Southern's 6.69/206 in the opening round. At Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, his 6.67/203.16 qualified #3, but an off pace 7.47/193.13 lost to Carol Henson's 6.86/204. Carl's next stop was at Maple Grove on August 2 for the NHRA Eastern Regional. A 6.73 qualified #2 in the eight-car field behind Ken Veney's 6.68. In round one, his 6.88/186.72 beat Pete Gallen's 7.05/198 and a semifinal 7.03/201.79 took out Frank Manzo's quicker 6.90/203. This put Ruth in the final against Arnie Karp. Unfortunately, the "Pet Vette" broke and Karp got the victory. A week later (August 9) he was in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. It was an eight-car field and Carl's 6.88/200.89 qualified #7. In the first round both he and his opponent Joe Shubert had problems and Joe's 7.59/186 beat Carl's 8.40/194.38.

Notes: AKA The King of the Northwest. Ruth won the season final at Half Moon Bay on December 13. He set track records of 7.92/199.54. | “This is one of my earliest dragsters, in 1964. I think this is at Arlington [Drag Strip, Washington]. Look at those weed sprayer headers. That tells me that it was early 1964. This is the old Adams & Stewart chassis; I bought it from Gene Adams and built the engine up there. It’s my first car with a Chrysler; I had two Chevy-engined cars before that but I got tired of getting my hands cut working inside the crankcase of the Chevy.” (info from Phil Burgess, NHRA.com, interview with Ruth and refers to the car in the photo.

Notes: The KING. Jerry ran 7.31 at Arlington, WA (May 1965) and 7.24 at Puyallup (May 1965). He crashed on a 202.70 mph run when the engine blew in the lights in July 1965. Jerry was the quickest Top Fuel car in 1965. Ruth's car was featured in a December issue of Drag News. This was a feature on his second car of the season as he had wrecked one on July 4th when the car barrel-rolled through the traps at 200mph. He was unhurt but a little sore. This was his third Woody Gilmore-built car, and the chassis was 150". It used a 392 Hemi with M/T rods and Venolia Pistons. Engle supplied the cam. The car weighed 1,280 lbs.

Notes: New car debuted in August 1965. | “This is 1965, at Carlsbad [Calif.]. It looks like the other car but I know it’s not because it has Enderle [injectors] on it and has a front wing. That’s a [Tom] Hanna wing. Wings were the first thing he sold. He teases me because he remembers me calling to buy the wing and bragging that I was kind of a hot dog up here.” (info from Phil Burgess, NHRA.com, interview with Ruth, referring to his 65 car and comparing it to the car pictured in the 64 entry).

Notes: "Ah yes, this photo. Clark Marshall, who was the promoter, rented the cape and the crown. This is Puyallup, 1966; we were supposed to race against Sid [Waterman] and his car; Ronnie Hampshire was the driver. We never got a chance to run the race because it got so foggy we couldn’t even see the finish line. Behind my car is the Higgins brothers, who were the partners on that first Chrysler car; they’re both dead now.rnrn“L.C. Taylor, who was a sports writer who wrote mostly for Drag Sport Illustrated, gave me ‘the King’ name in 1965. I can’t say I didn’t like the name: ‘King of the Northwest.’ When I won the [NHRA] world championship in 1973, I changed it to ‘King of the World.’ “ (Info from Phil Burgess, NHRA.com interview with Ruth, referring to the photo in this entry and his nickname).
