Notes: Ron Pellegrini built this Charger for Don Schumacher. He ordered an R&B chassis and a fiberglass Charger body. The 426 Hemi was built by Walt Ulrich, who had worked for Roger Lindamood in the past. With just a 60% load of nitro, Schumacher ran 8.89/163.86 on an early run. Late-model hemi, Torqueflite trans. One of the nicest first-gen AWB Chargers. This car preceded his first flopper. Photo from Spring 1967, Kaukauna WI. -- DW

Notes: One of the backflip funny cars that Romeo Palamides built, see Beswick for another. Original pre-Internet draglist entry. Listed times from early in 1968. | Don Schumacher's new ride for '68 was this 120" Romeo Palamides built, rear-engined Charger. The body was full sized built by Fiberglass Ltd. It used a 426 Hemi filled with M/T rods, Forgedtrue pistons, and a Crane cam. The heads were reworked by Gary Brown. Cragar supplied the blower drive and manifold and the GMC 6/71 was prepared by Don Hampton and used a Pete Robinson case. Up top sat a Hilborn injection unit. The TorqueFlite transmission transferred the power back to a Mopar rear with 3.54 gears. An early run on 45% nitro got Don an 8.12 time slip. | Also ran 8.19 at Minnesota Dragways.

Notes: In the new millennium, Don Schumacher has become the owner of the largest professional team in drag racing with eight cars. But at one time, he was a driver himself with the "Stardust" series of fuel funny cars that he raced from 1966 to 1974. The car is the "Stardust" '68 Barracuda. The car featured a late Chrysler engine inside a Logghe Bros. frame. Schumacher bought the car from Butch Leal, who gave up funny cars to go doorslammer racing. This was a departure for Schumacher, who previously raced Romeo Palamides-built cars, including a front-hinge flip-top funny car. - BS | Don Schumacher really started to run well when crew chief John Hogan came on board in July. Things didn't start so well when Don drove the car into the ditch during the Super Stock Nationals, and the team showed up at Detroit on July 26 with the front of the car wearing primer. A blown transmission on a warm-up run was followed by an off-pace 8.90 in the opening round of the eight-car show that lost to Bruce Larson. The next day (July 26), Detroit ran them again, only now they expanded the field to twelve cars. In the first round, Don's 7.82/182.18 beat Bob Fulp in the "Limefire." He got to solo in round two and made an easy 13.02 pass. In the semi-final, he had trouble and shut down to 11.73/78 in a loss to Larson's 8.27/166. Sunday was the last day for the three-day event at Detroit, and this time Schumacher went all the way. An off-pace 8.42/170.77 defeated Fulp's equally troubled 8.46/172 in the first round. In the second round, his 7.89/181.80 took out Mike Burkhart's 7.91/153. He got some revenge over Larson in the semi-final by running 7.78/183 over Bruce's 7.79/182. In the final, he faced Kelly Chadwick, and his 7.93/184.42 got the victory over Chadwick's 8.27/145.

Notes: In the new millennium, Don Schumacher has become the owner of the largest professional team in drag racing with eight-cars. But at one time he was a driver himself with the "Stardust" series of AA/Funny Cars that he raced from 1966 to 1974. The car is the "Stardust" '68 Barracuda. The car featured a late Chrysler engine inside a Logghe Stamping Co. frame. Schumacher bought the car from Butch Leal, who gave up funny cars to go doorslammer racing. This was a departure for Schumacher, who previously raced Romeo Palamides built cars, including a front-hinge flip top funny car. The Barracuda ran a best of 7.22/205 in 1969 as No. 1 qualifier, Low ET at NHRA Nationals, Indy. - Danny White | Don started the year by qualifying #1 with a 7.50 at the Irwindale New Year's Day Race. A first-round 7.59/195.64 beat Lew Arrington's 8.06/195. In the second round, a 7.52/198.66 took care of Jim Liberman's ailing Nova and in the semifinal he set a 7.44 track record at 198.66 over a fouling Dick Bourgeois. In the final, a blown trans stopped his march to victory. He again qualified #1 at the AHRA Winternationals with a 7.67/194.38. He was upset by a new car in the first round, Danny Ongais. At Pomona on February 2 for the NHRA Winternationals, Don could only muster an 8.02/195.65 (Top Speed) in qualifying second. A first-round 8.24 beat a crossed-up Dave Beebe in the Super Chief, but an 8.10 by Rich Siroonian in round two stopped his 8.12/191.08. On February 9 at OCIR for the second All-Pro race, he qualified fourth with a 7.63/192.30 and he made it into the final, meeting Siroonian who dropped a 7.39/195 bombshell on him. The following week on February 16 for the Stardust Open at Las Vegas he made it into the semifinal before Ongais' 7.88/193 put him on the trailer. He set Top Speed at 7.72/199.11 in qualifying fourth at Riverside for the HRM Championships, but he lost fire in the first round. On March 29 he competed in the final OCIR All-Pro race and had an easy first-round when Dave Beebe broke. In the semis against Ongais, both cars ran 7.71, but Don was disqualified for crossing the centerline. Jim Liberman faced Schumacher at a match race at Connecticut on April 6 and Jim beat Don three straight. A rematch was set for April 19 at Blaney. Liberman won the first race and Don's 8.00/191 won the second over JJ's 8.07/182. So both were loaded for bear for the final race. Jim's 8.00/182 won over Schumacher's track records of 7.94/190. At Aquasco's fourth annual Funny Car Invitational on May 4, Don ran a first-round 7.95/189.86 over George Reese, but Liberman's Low ET 7.81/189 shot in the semifinal beat his 7.98/191.88. Another match race was run on May 10 at York US 30 against Eddie Schartman. Don beat Schartman two straight before racing the backup car of Al Graeber and setting track records of 7.42/196.92. On May 27, Aquasco held an eight-car show and Don won his first-round race with a 7.84/194.38 and in the semifinal his 8.02/189.06 beat Ron Rivero who lost a transmission. Unfortunately, Schumacher also lost a trans so he was unable to make the final. He went to US 131, Martin, Mich., for a UDRA race on May 29, but he got out-of-shape in the first round, and lost to Gary Dyer's 7.55/193. Minnesota held a six car show on June 1, and Don broke against Hedrick (7.75/188) in his first race. In his second race, he beat Clare Sanders' 8.31/175 with a 7.58/194.80 (Top Speed). In his third race, he got out-of-shape and lost to Dick Loehr's 7.59/193. He got a big win at Aquasco on June 22 for the President's Gold Cup Championships. He beat Malcolm Durham's 8.05/186 in the first round, with a 7.77/194.38. Don singled in the semifinal with a 7.98/196.50 (Top Speed). In the final he set Low ET at 7.68/195.22 in beating Liberman's 7.75/194. On July 19, Don raced at the Rocky Mountain Funny Car Championships. He beat the ailing Colt 45 in the first round, with a 9.80/126.93, but lost to John Dekker's 8.74/173 in the semifinal with a 9.00/155.70. At the Cars Magazine meet, he ran a first-round 7.54 at a track speed record of 201.34 over Frank Federici, but he lost fire on the line against Frank Oglesby in the second round. He had a rare (for him) first-round loss at the PHR Championships on August 2 when Randy Walls' 7.69/180 beat Don's 7.86/191.08. At the next event, the AHRA Nationals at York on August 17, he more than made up for the first-round loss by winning the race with a final 7.39/198.22 over a fouling Larry Reyes in the Hawaiian. He set Top Speed at 200.88 and had beaten Terry Hedrick in the second round and ran a 7.30 in the semifinals while beating Dick Harrell's 7.39. At the US Nationals on September 1, Don qualified second with a 7.27 at only 189.47, and a first-round 7.22/204 over Jess Tyree's 7.46/199 was good for Low ET of the meet. But against Bruce Larson in the second round, he lost a transmission putting him out of the show. A big match race against Rich Siroonian was run at Irwindale on October 4 and Don won the first race with a 7.72/195.64 over Rich's 7.80/191. But Siroonian came back to win the next two races with runs of 7.63/201 and 7.43/204 over Schumacher's 7.65/197.26 and 7.69/200.44. On October 11, OCIR held its Funny Car Invitational event with eight-cars going for the win. Don advanced past the first-round when Ed Lenarth fouled and in the semifinal, a 7.52- 201.79 lost to Pat Minick's 7.40/200. He didn't do very well on October 18 at the Irwindale East/West meet when he lost to Ron Leslie's 7.84/185 in the first round, knocking him into the consolation round where be again lost in the first round. This time a 7.40/200 by Gas Ronda beat his 7.83/183.83. He ran much better the following day (October 19) at the Fremont Fallnationals, where a first-round 7.50/185.56 sent Terry Hedrick's 7.75/175 to the trailer. A semifinal 7.58/196.92 advanced when Siroonian lost a trans. In the final, a 7.53/198.22 beat Mike Van Sant's 7.71/186.32 in Mickey Thompson's white Mustang. That was followed by another win on October 25 over a sixteen-car field at Lions for the East/West Championships. A first-round 7.49/188.67 beat Randy Walls' 7.59/188, and a round two 7.52/182.92 advanced when Lenarth broke. In the final he met Siroonian and a 7.32/193.96 beat Rich's ailing 9.54/79. He competed at Sears Point on November 2, but failed to get to the finals. A 7.55 on November 7 at OCIR for the Manufacturer's Meet qualified him first on the Chrysler team. But the following week (November 16) he won only one of his three races. A 7.57/197.80 beat Danny Ongais' 7.62/191. In his second race Terry Hedrick's 7.46/188 beat Don's 7.50/195.65. In his final race he exploded a trans against Mike Van Sant in the Invader. He ran well on November 9 at Carlsbad for the PDA Race of Champions. He ran a 7.60/188.10 over Liberman's 7.60/191 and a semifinal 7.56/187.50 beat Snow who had driveline problems. In the final, Larry Reyes 7.46/195 was too much for Schumacher's 7.84/166.66. - Ron Howard

Notes: This is the car that Don began the 1970 season with, it was replaced in August by the Buttera built Cuda that won Indy. - TN | Schumacher had his new 'Cuda at Fremont's New Year's Day Championships. Things didn't go so well as in his first-round race against Dick Bourgeois he broke a rear end and was done for the rest of the day. On Jan 4 he was at the first OCIR All-Pro race. He ran two cars at the meet, his old 'Cuda with Arnie Behling driving, and his new car driven by himself. The new car failed to qualify, but eighth qualifier Gas Ronda had blown a transmission and was unable to run so Don replaced him in the show. Unfortunately, in the first round, he broke a driveshaft and lost to Charlie Allen. The Behling driven car lasted until the semifinals, but did set Low ET at 7.43. At Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals on January 25, Don qualified with a 7.64. He beat Tom Prock's 7.72 in the first round, with a 7.70, but in round two, a transmission let go and Jake Johnston in the "Blue Max" advanced. He went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but due to a tricky track surface, he failed to qualify even though the "bump" was only a 7.74.

Notes: This car made its debut in August and made shakedown runs at OCIR before heading east for the NHRA Nationals. At Indy Don used consistent low seven second times to capture his first NHRA National Event. He beat Leroy Goldstein (Ramchargers) in the final 7.001/214.79 to a losing 7.14/211.26. | Don debuted this car at OCIR on August 29 for an eight-car show. He ran really well, qualifying #1 with a 7.02/211.76 (Top Speed and a track record), well ahead of Mike Snively's 7.19 in the #2 spot. In the first round, he set Low ET with a 6.93 (track record) at 210.28 to beat alternate Johnny Wright in the "Fiberglass Trends" Javelin. Unfortunately, on that pass, Don shelled a rear axle and was unable to compete in the semifinals. A week later (September 7), he got his big win at Indianapolis for the NHRA US Nationals. Things didn't start out so well as on a Thursday qualifying attempt, Don lost a motor. But after installing a new one he qualified with a 7.07 and in the first round, his 7.17 beat Leonard Hughes quicker 7.10. In the second round, he ran another 7.07 at 210.28 to beat Jay Howell's 7.64/152 in Don Prudhomme's 'Cuda. Schumacher picked up to a 7.01/212.26 in the semifinals to beat Bobby Rowe's 7.18/205 in the "Super Duster" and in the final, he was just a tick of the clock away from the "sixes" with a 7.00/214.79 (Top Speed) that beat Leroy Goldstein's 7.14/211 in the "Ramchargers" Challenger for the title. It should also be noted that Schumacher had hired back his former crew chief, John Hogan, to help with his new car. | Best NHRA time was the 7.001/214.79.

Notes: Tom West sez: This is one of those blue flame shots. This would have been from the Manufacturers Meet in '71, I think. This is the IFS Buttera chassis, but the body appears to be a bit high. Did something happen to the original body? I can't imagine building the car to sit quite that high. Also, it did not appear to be the best car to see out of either. One of several paint jobs he ran in 71. | Don Schumacher's new car for '71 was a 120" John Buttera car. The Ed Pink built 1,500 hp 426 Hemi was stroked to 480 cubic inches. The rods and pistons were by Pink. A Cragar manifold supported the Larry Bowers prepared blower, and Cragar also supplied the blower drive. The 80% nitro mix was pumped into the engine by an Enderle injection unit. A two-speed Lenco transmitted the power to a Halibrand Quick-change rear with 5.12 gears. | Don started the season at Irwindale on January 1 for its New Year's Funny Car Festival. Traction was poor, and Don's 7.43 qualified #9 in the sixteen-car field. He faced low qualifier (6.99) Jim Dunn in the first round, and Schumacher smoked the tires and shut off to 8.20 in a loss to Dunn's 6.96. The next day he was at Fremont for its New Year's Funny Car race. It was another sixteen-car show. Don's 7.41/197.36 in the first round, beat Dick Bourgeois' Javelin. But in the second round, he had engine problems and shut off against Kenney Goodell. On January 10, he was at Lions for the AHRA Grand American race. He qualified with a 7.32, but a 7.35/195.66 in the first round, lost to Larry Arnold's 7.12. Don barely made the show at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals; his 7.306/208.81 qualified on the "bump" for the sixteen-car field. He lost to Rich Siroonian in the first round, 7.03/205 to 7.67/184. He did considerably better at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. During qualifying, he was credited with a (play with my clocks) 6.56/204.54. It was a 32-car show, and in the first round, Don got a solo and ran 7.18/204.08. He beat Ronnie Runyan's Chevy-powered Vega in round two, but in the third round, his 7.01/198.22 lost to Mart Higginbotham's 6.90/204. Don qualified #1 at the NHRA Springnationals in Dallas at 6.787/214.28. He beat Tom McEwen in round one, 6.02/205.21 to a fouling 6.96/207. In round two, he got some Winternational revenge on Rich Siroonian, 6.78/210.77 to 6.87/216. Don continued rolling on in the semis, his 6.80/210 defeating Sush Matsubara's 6.96/216. In the final, Schumacher set Low ET of the Meet at 6.76/218.44 to defeat Kelly Brown's 6.81.

Notes: Don Schumacher yellow Cuda. Car 1 of 3 car team. Don ran really well in '72. His season started at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. He lasted until round two, where he got out of shape and clicked it off in a loss to Gene Snow. His next stop was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #3 with a 6.89, but he had problems in the opening round and lost to Roger Lindamood. Schumacher was at Lakeland early in March for the IHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #5 with a 6.91. He beat Paul Aray's Maverick in the first round, with a 7.14, but in round two, the 'Cuda broke a rear-end giving eventual winner Richard Tharp driving the "Blue Max" a solo into the semifinals. The following week (March 12) found the team at Fremont for the AHRA Northern Nationals. Unfortunately, the gremlins persisted, and he broke in the first round, against Henry Harrison, who was driving Mickey Thompson's Vega. It was then off to Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Don's 6.80 qualified #5 and a first-round 6.79/196 beat Lindamood. In the second round, he smoked the tires to a 7.09/161 loss to Pat Foster's Low ET and Top Speed of the meet 6.52/225 in the Barry Setzer Vega. Another round two loss came at the IHRA Pro-Am Championships at Rockingham, where he lost to Dale Pulde driving Mickey Thompson's Pinto. The trend continued at Green Valley for the AHRA Nationals. He only qualified #13 with a 7.41. Schumacher stopped a blower-popping Charlie Therwhanger in the first round, but his off-pace 7.72 in round two lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.90. At the NHRA Springnationals, it was more of the same. A 6.80 qualified #4, and he beat Al Marshall in the "Tyrant" in the opening round with a 6.88/198, but as usual, a second-round 7.16/168 lost to Butch Maas' 6.74/203. Finally, the following week (June 18), he won at Bristol. Traction wasn't great as 26 cars attempted to qualify for the sixteen-car field, and none got into the "sixes." Don's 7.24 qualified #4, and he picked up to 7.09/211.76 in the first round, to beat Fritz Callier in the "CKC" Vega. It was probably a relief when he beat Dave Mudrack driving the "Warhorse" in round two with a 7.12/204.54. He cracked the "sixes" in the semifinals with a 6.99/214.28 over Kenny Safford in the "Mr. Norm" car. But final round opponent Jim Paoli driving the "Ramchargers" car, had run a 6.97 in his semifinal race, so it was close. Sure enough, the two had a good race down to the wire with the "Shoe's" 7.01/206.42 getting the victory over the "Rams'" 7.07/215. A few days later, he won over an eight-car field at Union Grove, where he set both ends of the track record with a 6.47/227 (I hope I got this right as reporters often saw Schumacher's name on the side of the car and assumed that it was him. Bobby Rowe liked to drive it out the back door, but the report claimed it was Schumacher). Another win followed this one at the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown. Don qualified #5 with a 6.64 and an improved 6.57 beat the "Ramchargers" car, which Clare Sanders was now driving. In round two, Ron Potter fouled against him, and in the semifinals, he beat 1972's "killer car," the "Trojan Horse" driven by Larry Fullerton. In the first two rounds, the car had just run 6.40/228 and 6.56/225. But Larry's off-pace 7.37/212 lost to Don's 6.63/214.79. In the final, he faced another "killer car" of the '72 season, the Demon of Ed McCulloch. Ed "slowed" to a 6.84/217 in the final after earlier running as quick as 6.51, and Schumacher picked up the win with a 6.63/213.76. The following weekend (July 22), he was at Martin Michigan for an eight-car show. McCulloch got a bit of payback there as he beat Schumacher in the first round. The next day they were at Rockford for the Manufacturer's Meet. Don had run some good times, such as 6.72 (over Fullerton) and 6.78 (over Tommy Grove), and the final came down to McCulloch and him. Once again, McCulloch got the measure of Don with a 6.87/217 beating his 7.01/215.82. Don ran 6.657/219.51 at the Tulsa PRA race. Formerly listed 220.00 for Don's best speed, if it turns out that the Union Grove 227 was Rowe.

Notes: Don Schumacher's red Cuda, one of a three-car team. We need to confirm that Don drove this car in addition to the yellow car. 356 is Don Schumacher's number. | I believe this red car was driven by Raymond Beadle. All of the pictures I've seen of the red car are with Beadle driving. It appears in this photo that there was some repair work done where the Comp number usually. Also the red car was the only one of the three to use the canard wings over the rear tires. As best as I know, Beadle (#426) drove the red car, Bobby Rowe (#202) drove the blue car and Don (#356) drove the yellow car. I have seen Don as identified as the driver of the blue car on a few occasions, but never the red car. - MO

Notes: In 1973 Shoe was backed by Wonder Bread and the Vega Panel was an aerodynamic failure; thus, the swoopy Vega was born.

Notes: Won 1973 Winternationals and was runner-up at Gatornationals with a 230.76 national mph record. Ran this car until the Wonder Wagons. Yellow Wonder Wagon debuted at Indy 1973. Where were the white Wonder Wagon panel wagons raced? The Video link shows Don racing this car against Paula Murphy at Santa Pod 1973. Gainesville 3/73 record stood for three years! Coke event promo poster from US 30 cited 6.33/228, but there was no way to know which of the three Cudas ran at that event. | Don had a great early season. It started at Beeline Dragway in Arizona for the AHRA Winternationals. Seventy-five cars showed for the 32-car nitro Funny Car field. Schumacher qualified #8 with a 6.61/208.81. In the first round, his 6.58/208.33 beat Mike Van Sant's off-pace 7.54 in the "Stone, Woods and Cook" Mustang. A second-round 6.57/214.38 defeated Dale Pulde's 6.83/200 in the "Lil Demon," He continued to improve in round three, where his 6.46/218.44 stopped Dave Uyehara, who broke a rear end in Larry Huff's car. Richard Tharp had his "Blue Max" go up in flames against him in the semifinals, while Don reset the AHRA ET record with his 6.42 at only 196. He faced "Jungle Jim" Liberman in the final and won with a 6.44 (Low ET) at 220.04, while Liberman smoked the tires in his runner-up effort. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where 58 cars showed for the sixteen-car field. Traction was horrible as the low qualifier was in at 7.18. Don qualified #14 with a 7.65/206.89 and then ran 7.64 over alternate Ron O'Donnell. In round two, his 7.43/210 beat Tom Hoover's 7.59/207. He improved a bunch in the semifinals, where his 7.26/218.44 stopped Jim Murphy's close 7.28/210. He met future superstar Kenny Bernstein driving Ray Alley's Charger in the final, and Schumacher's 7.18/220.58 rn (Low ET and Top Speed) prevailed for his fifth NHRA National event title. At the IHRA Winternationals at Lakeland, Don's 7.02 qualified #5 in the sixteen-car field. A 7.00/207 in round one beat Gary Henderson's 7.18/173 in the "Super Duster," but his second round 7.09/211 lost to Harlan Thompson's 6.93/205 in the "Tom and Jerry" Mustang. The wins continued at Fremont for the AHRA Northern Nationals. He beat Art Ward in the first round with a 6.58/197.80. He had an easy run in round two and the semifinals, where Leroy Chadderton, driving the "Hawaiian," lost fire. He met up with Liberman again in the finals, and his 6.55/215.82 scored the win over JJ's 6.81/216. The following week (March 18), he almost won the NHRA Gatornationals. He set Low ET at 6.34/228.42 in qualifying #1 and made his way to the final by running 6.48/230.76 (not Top Speed, but a new national record) over Roger Lindamood, another 6.34 at 226.70 over Leroy Goldstein's 6.61 in the "Candies and Hughes" 'Cuda and a 6.54 single in the semifinals when Ed McCulloch was unable to show. He faced Pat Foster driving the Barry Setzer Vega in the final, and it was a good race, but Foster took the victory with a 6.37/221 over Schumacher's 6.41/233.16 (just short of being backed up for the record)! The winning didn't come quite so easy after that. He was at Miami for a sixteen-car Funny Car show that had him qualify #7 with a 7.25/187.11. He soloed in round one when Paul Smith was shut off on the line with a fuel leak, but his 6.94/199.11 lost to Al Marshall's 6.80/220 in round two. Don won his third consecutive AHRA race when he beat Hoover with a 6.73 in the final at the rain-delayed Tulsa Grand American Race on April 11. His streak ended at the AHRA Green Valley race when he lost to eventual winner Don Prudhomme in the semifinals. Shortly after that (May 24), Schumacher was at Dragway 42 for the next AHRA Grand American race. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 6.53. In round one, he got the "odd-lot" solo and ran 6.90/199.55 to advance. But in round two, his 7.15/211.76 fell to Gene Snow's 6.67/220. He also set Low ET in qualifying at the AHRA Springnationals held in Denver, where his 6.54 was almost two-tenths ahead of the second qualifier. A 6.76 in the opening round defeated Tom McEwen, but his car was shut off on the line for an oil leak in round two, and Don had to watch as Art Ward soloed into the semifinal. A week later, he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He debuted his new Wonder Bread sponsor at its first national event. His 6.72 qualified #4, and his 6.79 beat alternate Dick Rosberg in the "Fighting Irish" Satellite in round one. In round two, his off-pace 7.32/191.08 lost to Jim Nicoll's 6.84/211. On July 4, he competed at Englishtown's Funny Car Spectacular event. Fourteen cars were there, and all ran the first round, with the four Low ET cars advancing into the semifinal. Don ran 6.93/199.55 to beat Al Bergler's out-of-shape Vega. Unfortunately, his ET did not advance into the final four. He came back out later for a consolation race with Fred Goeske that saw his 6.76/200.89 lose to Fred's 6.80/215. He was back at Englishtown on July 15 for the NHRA Summernationals. He "only" qualified #15 with a 6.62, and he smoked the tires to a 10.58 loss against McEwen's 6.87 in the first round. At the end of the month (July 29), he was at Rockford for its Manufacturer's Meet. He did not have a good day. In his first race, his 6.80 lost to Bill Leavitt's 6.79, and in his second race, Pulde's 6.75 in the M/T Grand Am beat his quicker 6.66. The car broke, and was unable to run round three. Schumacher then went to Atco for its World Funny Car Championships. This was an eight-car show, and he lost to Pat Foster driving the Barry Setzer Vega in the first round. He came back out later for a consolation race and set Low ET and 6.56.

Notes: Don started the season by qualifying #4 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.46/214.28. In the first round, an off pace 6.76/212.76 lost to John Collins' 6.51/198. At the Gatornationals, he qualified #3 on Saturday with a 6.57, but he had the Vega body come off the chassis and crash down onto the track. It broke into two pieces just behind the rear wheel well. Don and his crew repaired the body in time for eliminations on Sunday. He beat Harry Hudson, Al Segrini, and Al Bergler on his way to the final to meet Don Prudhomme. In the final, his 6.74 lost to the "Snake's" 6.38. Schumacher was running strong at Fremont for the AHRA Northern Nationals. He qualified #1 with a 6.39/225.00 and another 6.39 at 218.97 beat Leroy Goldstein's 6.69 in the first round. Unfortunately, he lost fire in the second round, giving eventual winner Tom McEwen a single into the semifinals. On April 6, he was at OCIR for the AHRA Grand American race. It was a sixteen-car show, and in the first round, he beat Mert Littlefield with a 6.73/212.76. In round two, a 6.89/192.71 beat Gene Snow's 6.92/208. But in the semifinals, Jim Dunn's 6.83/205 beat his 6.92/209.30. He was at Irwindale for the Coca-Cola Funny Car Championships in April. It was a 32-car show, and Don's 6.86 in the first round beat Ron Williams' Pinto, but an off-pace 7.17 in the second round lost to Bob Pickett's 6.75 in the "Lil Demon." He qualified #2 at the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.43/225.00 (Top Speed). Schumacher was upset in the first round, where his 6.93/215.82 lost to eventual winner Snow's 6.67/205. Don's best NHRA times were 6.320 at Englishtown and 231.36 at Indy.
