Notes: After being the top dog in mountain motored Ford cars since '78, Smith made the big leap into a Pontiac for '89. The season didn't start so well when Rickie failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Things went better at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals where he qualified #12, but he lost to Bruce Allen. At Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, 50 cars showed. Smith qualified #14 and beat Morris Johnson Jr. in the first round, before losing to Allen again in round two. Rickie ran really well at Atlanta in April for the NHRA Southern Nationals. A 7.38/186.52 qualified #6. He beat Ken Koretsky in round one, and a 7.47/184.38 beat Warren Johnson's 7.48/186 in round two. In the semifinals, he came up against Allen and once again Bruce got the win with a 7.41/185 beating Smith's 7.49/184.04. | Rick Howard photo from 1989 NHRA Budweiser Springnats, Columbus, OH. 7.466 184.72 NHRA Indianapolis IN 9/89 (12th Alternate). - Danny White |

Notes: IHRA World Champ 1989. After 12 years of running Fords, Smith switched to Pontiac for '89. He also left his longtime sponsor, Motorcraft, which had supported him since 1983. The reason was, he had been playing second fiddle to Bob Glidden. Ford gave all its drag racing advertising to Glidden, while Smith got next to none. Rickie had won 19 IHRA victories and four IHRA world Championships in Fords, so it was a tough move to make. Photo from 1989 IHRA Gateway Nationals, Madison, IL. |

Notes: Rickie started the NHRA season by qualifying #15 at the Winternationals with a 7.40/187.93. He was sharp on the tree, running a first-round 7.43/186.10 to cover Joe Lepone's quicker 7.35/187. In the second round, Warren Johnson's 7.34/188 beat his 7.42/186.45. At the next event, the Arizona Nationals, a 7.40/186.95 was good for first alternate. Rickie just made the field at the following race, the Supernationals, where a 7.334/187.03 qualified #16. Once again, his driving got him past the first-round when he ran a 7.31/187.46 to beat Mark Pawuk's 7.30/188. In the second round, a 7.35/187.11 beat Larry Morgan's 7.38/189. Unfortunately, a 7.29/188 by Bruce Allen put an end to Rickie's (7.34/187.57) run. At Gainesville for the Gatornationals on March 18, he once again qualified way down the list with a 7.38/186.95 being #13. He got past a fouling Pawuk in the first round, with a 7.44/185.41 and a 7.40/186 beat Morgan's 7.47/185 in the second round. In the semifinal, his 7.38/187.07 beat Bob Glidden's 7.39/189. He met another NHRA first time Pro Stock finalist, Kenny Delco. A final round 7.36/187.22 finished runner-up to Delco's 7.28/189. He then went to Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. A 7.34/187.42 qualified #11. In the opening round, he improved slightly to a 7.33/187.42 to beat James Antonette and a second round 7.34/187.53 stopped Jim Yates' 7.49/186. But in the semifinals, his 7.38/187.89 lost to Larry Morgan's 7.29/188. Rickie moved up in qualifying at the Southern Nationals where a 7.30/187.81 was good for #9. Unfortunately, he lost to Morgan in the opening round. Best NHRA times were 7.266/189.19 at Ennis Fall. |

Notes: Rickie set Low ET and Top Speed at the IHRA Winternationals with 7.12/192.64 marks. He lasted until the semifinal before his 7.16/190 lost to eventual winner Doug Kirk's 7.16/192. Smith did not race at IHRA's second race of the season, the Dixie Nationals. But he returned in a big way at the next event. He reset the IHRA record to 7.08 while qualifying #1, en route to winning the IHRA Eastern Nitrous Nationals at Atco on April 27. A final round 7.09/194.95 beat John Nobile's 7.18/195. A semifinal finish came next at the IHRA Springnationals where Harold Denton beat him with a 7.37 to his 7.33. At the IHRA Empire Nationals, Rickie qualified #1 and then reached the final only to get beat by a Doug Kirk holeshot. Kirk's 7.23/193 beat Smith's 7.21/192.51. He improved that finish by winning the IHRA Gateway Nationals with a 7.22/189.76 over Floyd Cheek who crossed the centerline. He then won the IHRA Carolina Nationals, beating Billy Ewing in the final. Another runner-up finish came at Norwalk at the IHRA World Nationals. In the semifinal, he beat Doug Kirk with a 7.21/190.67, but Billy Huff beat Rickie in the final. He was beaten by Cheek in the first round, at the IHRA US Open on September 20. At the season-ending IHRA Fallnationals, he qualified #10 with a 7.21/192.11. In the first round, Ewing’s 7.18/195 stopped Smith's 7.20/193.87. |

Notes: Smith attempted to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but his best of 7.25/190.31 was good for the first alternate. At the Motorcraft Nationals in Arizona, he again failed to qualify, running a 7.35/187.89 best as the seventh alternate. He improved to career bests of 7.13/193.13 to qualify #8 at Houston for the Slick 50 Nationals. A first-round 7.18/191.28 beat Joe Lepone Jr's 7.26/190. In round two, Tricky Rickie pulled one of his patented holeshots on Warren Johnson and ran a 7.17/191.00 to win over WJ's 7.11/194. In the semifinals, it was he who got left on as Larry Morgan's 7.19/191 beat his 7.18/190.96. NHRA's next stop was at Gainesville for the Gatornationals. Rickie qualified #15 with a 7.16/192.76. In the first round, he surprised Scott Geoffrion with a holeshot 7.22/191.00 that beat Scott's 7.18/192. In round two, a 7.25/190.35 beat David Rampy's 7.28/187. For the second race in a row, he was in the semifinals, and once again, he faced Morgan. Rickie tried to get away with a holeshot, but he "bulbed," and his 7.25/190.71 was for naught as Larry went into the final with a 7.19/192. At the non-points NHRA Winston Invitational, Smith qualified #14 with a 7.20/191.97. He showed his driving talent by beating Mark Pawuk's 7.14/193 in the first round, with a 7.18/192.47. In round two, both he and Jim Yates ran 7.20's, but Yates got the win. These early season races were run using a Bickel-built car. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, he debuted a new Haas-built Firebird. The new car qualified #12 with a 7.22/190.67. He beat Lepone Jr's 7.32/190 in the first round, with a 7.27/189.31. In the second round, his 7.31/189.95 fell to Frank Iaconio's 7.26/190. At Memphis for the NHRA Mid-South Nationals, Smith didn't have a good outing as his best of 7.29 was good for the fifth alternate spot. He rebounded nicely by qualifying #9 at Englishtown for the Mopar Parts Nationals with a 7.16/191.57. He treed Morgan in the first round, with his 7.27/189.35 beating Larry's quicker 7.20/192. Unfortunately, he lost to WJ in round two. Photo from 1993 US Nationals. |

Notes: Smith was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals held in mid-March. He had run 7.16/194.21 on an early qualifying attempt but then rain postponed the race one week. He could not return as it was being held the same weekend as the NHRA Gatornationals, where he had been already committed to run. In April, he was at Huntsville Raceway for the IHRA Bama Nationals, where his 4.54/156.65 qualified #10 on the 1/8 mile track. In the opening round, his 4.58/155.65 beat Jim Revis' 4.65/155. A second-round 4.59/155.49 lost to Terry Leggett's 4.52/157. In the first week of June, he was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. He had borrowed an engine from Billy Huff to run for this race. A 7.05/197.49 qualified #3. He then ran 7.14/196.97 in the first round to drop Mark Thomas' 7.19/193. He set Top Speed in round two, where his 7.05/198.23 defeated Revis' 7.17/194. He continued to make his way to the final by stopping Leggett's 7.20/195 in the semi-final with a 7.11/196.37. He faced low qualifier, Doug Kirk in the final, and Smith ran another 7.11 at 196.54, which was good enough for the victory over Kirk's 7.15/196. Smith was at Richmond in June for a four-car P/S show. All cars made two runs, with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Rickie ran 7.41/190.67 to qualify low. He then beat John McLain in the first round with a 7.35/189.87. In the next round, he ran 7.42/188.28 over Harold Robinson's 7.64/181. He faced Terry Walters in the final, and Smith got crossed up and shut down while Walters ran 7.46/185 for the victory. Smith then backed up, restaged, and ran 7.39/190.67. He did not run at the IHRA Empire Nationals as it was run on the same weekend as the NHRA Western Nationals, where he was competing. He did not race at any other IHRA events this season due to his busy NHRA schedule. He did make it to the Mountain Motor Nationals, held at Maryland International. His 7.27/191.73 qualified #13. He had problems in the first round and slowed to 9.53 in a loss to Chris Hunt's 7.13. Despite not competing in the full IHRA schedule, he finished fourteenth in points. |

Notes: Photo from the 1994 NHRA Springnationals, National Trail Raceway, Columbus, Ohio. | Rickie started the '94 season by qualifying on the "bump" spot at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.17/192.84. A 7.22/191.40 lost to low qualifier and eventual winner Warren Johnson's 7.12/194. At the NHRA Quality Care Nationals in Arizona, Smith's best of 7.23/192.67 failed (second alternate) to qualify. Smith made up for his non-qualifying effort by qualifying #12 at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals with a 7.14/193.29. He beat Bob Glidden's T-Bird in the first round, with a 7.17, but in round two, his 7.18 lost to Kurt Johnson's 7.12. Rickie ran well at the NHRA Gatornationals, qualifying #8 with a 7.14/193.13. Both he and Kurt Johnson ran 7.23 (Smith at 191.28) in the first round, but Rickie got the win light. In the second race, Kurt's dad Warren dropped Smith's 7.20/191.85 with a 7.11/195. In April he was at Rockingham for NHRA's Winston Invitational. He ran 7.13/193.13 to qualify #11. Unfortunately, a first-round 7.20/191.48 lost to the meet's eventual winner Darrell Alderman's 7.11/194. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, Rickie once again qualified on the "bump" with a 7.18/192.63. WJ beat his 7.22/191.48 in the first round, with a 7.10/195. The sixth race of NHRA's '94 season was the Mid-South Nationals at Memphis. A 7.22/190.51 qualified #11. Rickie was used to winning as he was very successful on the IHRA trail, but he was not used to just making the NHRA shows and losing early. So in the first round, at Memphis, he pushed the tree a little too hard and fouled against Mark Osborne. |

Notes: Smith was at Darlington in March for the IHRA Winternationals. He ran a career-best (to this point) 6.91 at 203.20 to qualify #4 in the sixteen-car field. Another strong 6.92/201.25 beat Tim Nabor's 6.99/200 in the opening round of eliminations. But despite running 6.93/200.49 in round two, he lost out to a quicker, leaving Charlie Garrett, who won with a 6.94/198. He did not run at IHRA's second race, the Dixie Nationals, but he did go to Bristol for the Springnationals. Unfortunately, his 7.13/194.93 (third alternate) failed to qualify. That was the last IHRA event Rickie ran in '94. His sponsors wanted him at the NHRA events, and with NHRA having so many races, time did not allow him to run both. |

Notes: Rickie started the season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He failed to qualify as his 7.16/192.96 was good for the first alternate. He also failed to make the field at the NHRA Arizona Nationals, where he was the third alternate with a 7.16/193.09 best. Smith really stepped up at Houston, where he qualified #7 with a 7.035/195.35. Those would hold as his best NHRA national event times of the season. But he slowed to 7.12/193.79 in the first round and lost to Bill Glidden's 7.07/196. At Gainesville, for the NHRA Gatornationals, he ran 7.09/194.46 to qualify #10. This time, his 7.08/194.72 lost to Rusty Glidden's 7.01/196 in the first round. He was at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational event. A 7.10/194.46 qualified #11, and in round one, his 7.13/194.04 lost to Larry Morgan's 7.12/192. The next NHRA race was the Southern Nationals held at Atlanta Dragway. Smith qualified #12 with a 7.13/193.38. In the first round, he fouled away a 7.20/191.06 against Darrell Alderman. The NHRA Mid-South Nationals was held at Memphis in the first week of May, and Rickie qualified #8 at this race with a 7.07/193.92. In the opening round of eliminations, his 7.15/192.34 lost to the eventual winner Mark Pawuk's 7.14/193. While Smith was losing early at these races, you have to consider that there were sometimes over 40 cars attempting to qualify for these fields. Just making the program was a big deal. Unfortunately, Smith failed to qualify at Englishtown for the NHRA Mopar Parts Nationals, where he was the first alternate with a 7.11/194.30. His next stop was at Richmond for the NHRA Virginia Nationals, where he ran 7.16/192.38 to qualify #15. In round one, his 7.19/192.14 fell to Jim Yates' 7.07/195. He was the fourth alternate at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals at 7.25/190.67. At Topeka, Smith qualified #8 for the NHRA Western Nationals with a 7.09/193.79. His 7.15/191.93 lost to Kurt Johnson's 7.08/193 in the first round. At Denver, he qualified #12 with a 7.55/181.45 for the NHRA Mile-High Nationals. In the first round, Yates' 7.48/183 beat his 7.58/182.11. He also qualified well at Sonoma, where his 7.10/194.46 qualified #6 for the NHRA Autolite Nationals. Both he and Steve Schmidt ran 7.14 in the first round (Smith 193.84), with Schmidt crossing the stripe first. Converted from 264 comp number to 43 in tribute to Petty Racing.

Notes: Rick Howard (qualifying) photo of the 1996 US Nats, Indy. Seventh member of the Holley Six Second Club (6.999 at Englishtown on May 18/1996) qualified 6th at 7.07/195.05 for Indy. Defeated Barry Grant, Larry Morgan, and Jerry Eckman to reach only his second final since his win at Sonoma in '93. Lost to Kurt Johnson for the title. Jim Yates team car. | Rickie was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he was the seventh alternate, running a best of 7.15/193.21. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, he was the fifth alternate at 7.11/193.67. Things took a huge turn for the better at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Rickie's 7.01/196.85 qualified #7 and an opening round 7.04/196.20 beat Bob Glidden's 7.08/195. Another 7.04 at 196.59 stopped Ray Franks' 7.10/195 in round two, but his run came to an end in the semifinals where his 7.03/195.82 lost to eventual winner Jim Yates' 7.03/195. Even though the numbers were close, the race wasn't as Smith was unusually late off the line. |
