Notes: During the Winter of '71, '72, Jenner and Ron Hodgson purchased a partially finished '72 Vega funny car from fellow Canadian Murry Dyma after Murry decided he couldn't drive it following a licensing session at Orange County Raceway in southern California. The Vega had a blown 426 hemi for power and all the other necessary components to make it competitive in the AA/FC class. More than that, it now had a crew chief who could help it reach its full potential. Not wanting to waste any time and with the 1972 racing season fast approaching, Jenner placed a call to Gordie Bonin and offered him the ride. Once Bonin arrived from his home in the northwest and passed his competition license at Lions Drag Strip, the team was ready to go racing. - Bud De Boer. Two questions: Was Hodgson involved at this point? Did Bonin drive the car in the Winter of 71 or only in 72?

Notes: Qualified number 3 at Indy '72 with a 6.529 and finished runner-up to Ed McCulloch. Ran 6.769 at NHRA Amarillo 72. | Bonin debuted the "Pacemaker" Vega in April at the Seattle season opener. He qualified for the eight-car field and, in round one, beat Rich Rogers. Unfortunately, he lost in the semifinal. He did better at the Northwest National Open, also held in Seattle. It was another eight-car show, and Bonin ran 6.92/185.56 to advance over a broken Kenny Martin in the opening round. In the semifinals, his 6.89/207.36 beat Twig Zeigler's quicker 6.85/213. This put him into the final against Kenney Goodell. Gordie tried hard, but his 6.91/206.42 finished runner-up to Goodell's 6.68/207. Gordie qualified #9 for the Lions Last Drag Race on December 2 (times unknown but between 6.63 and 6.68). He lost a 7.10 to 7.10 decision to first alternate Omer Carruthers in round one.

Notes: Bonin was driving this car at Martin, Michigan, on August 11 for the PHR Championships, where he failed to qualify after all cars ran the first-round, with only the eight lowest ET's advancing to the second eight for the race. On September 29, he was Irwindale for its Grand Prix race. It was a sixteen-car field, and his 6.79 qualified #6. Unfortunately, the Charger broke in the first round, allowing his opponent, Frank Rupert, a solo into round two. Gordie qualified the "Hawaiian" on the "bump" at Ontario with a 6.531/219.51. In the opening round, his 6.68/215.82 lost to Jim Nicoll's 6.52/226.

Notes: In '73, Jenner built another Don Long chassied vehicle. Also called the Pacemaker Vega, Bonin drove it for part of the season with Frank Kirchner taking over for the remainder. Did this car go 6.29 seconds at 236 mph somewhere? - Bud De Boer | Confirmed 6.58 at Seattle with Gordie at the wheel. Only NHRA national event was Indy with Kirchner at the wheel and a DNQ 6.600/215.82. | Gordie won the Seattle Opener in April. He beat Ed McCulloch's 6.56/218 in the final with a quick-leaving 6.58/217. Shortly after this, he won the Portland Funny Car Opener where he set a 6.64 track record.

Notes: Bonin started the season with a big win at the Irwindale Grand Premiere on January 12. He qualified #6 with a 6.59. In the first round his 6.61 beat Mike Van Sant in the "Stone, Woods and Cooke" Mustang. Another 6.59 in the second round beat Gerry Glenn in the "Plueger and Gyger" Mustang. In the semifinal he got past Gordon Swearingen in Jim Terry's Mustang who fouled. In the final, he met Don Prudhomme. A 6.61/207.85 beat the Snake's up-in-smoke 8.19. On January 27, at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals, a 6.58 qualified #15, but a first-round 6.49/225 by Jim Nicoll beat Bonin's 6.73/188.00. He failed in his bid to qualify at the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.678/198.23 falling short of the 6.66 bump. Gordie started driving the Pacemaker Vega and by the middle of March Mike Van Sant was in the seat of the Hawaiian. | The former Ray Alley car after Roland's '73 Buttera car was stolen in Gary, Indiana. - Joe Moore

Notes: Gordie was at Beeline in January for the AHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #9. In the first round, he faced low qualifier Neil Leffler in Jim Terry's Mustang. Unfortunately, Bonin's engine let go, and he had a major fire just off the line. He was OK. The damage was minimal, and the team repaired it in time to make it to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where Gordie ran 6.410/233.16 (Top Speed) to qualify #11. A first-round 6.545/227.84 lost to Mike Miller's 6.43/220 in the "Green Elephant." At Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet, Bonin qualified #2 with a 6.30/233.76 behind Don Prudhomme's amazing 6.08/235. A 6.46/223.88 in the first round lost to Jake Johnston's 6.29/225. On March 16, he was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Bonin continued to qualify well, running 6.437/230.17 for the #4 spot in the field. A first-round 6.678/225.00 lost to Tom Prock's 6.62/224. At the Seattle Opener, Bonin beat Jerry Ruth's Mustang in the first round, with a 6.56/220.58, but in his second race, he went into a wheelstand and shut off, losing to Ed McCulloch's 6.27/218. Bonin was back in Seattle in June for the second Olympia All-Pro Series race. An opening round 6.54/224.43 beat Bill Spevacek's off-pace 7.87/138, and in the semifinals, Gordie ran 6.66/227.27 to beat Mike Miller's 6.84/211 in the "Green Elephant" car. He faced Twig Zeigler in the final, and Bonin took the victory with a track record speed of 230.17 coupled with an ET of 6.32 over Twig's 6.56/229 runner-up effort. Gordie qualified #3 at NHRA Columbus with a 6.472/220.04. He beat Bob Pickett in round one, 6.990/216.34 to 10.35/68. Shirl Greer beat him in round two, 6.53/206 to a 9.59 shut-off. On June 29, he was at Edmonton International for the NHRA Division 6 race. Things did not go well there as he lost fire on his burnout in the first round, giving Ken McLean a solo. Things went better at Bremerton for the next NHRA Division 6 race. A 6.69 qualified #1; in round one, his 6.82 beat Larry Palmer. He smoked the tires in the semifinals, but his 7.14 was still enough to beat Don Rae's 7.86. He faced Miller in the final and got a 6.61 victory over the "Elephant's" 6.97. He was running a new Schiefer clutch setup rather than the conventional Crower glide. He ran a 6.432/217 best at the PHR US 131 race, losing to Denny Savage. At NHRA Sanair, Gordie qualified #6 at 6.62/213.27 but lost to Tom Prock in round one, 6.54/216 to 6.67/217.39. Gordie was the seventh alternate at NHRA Indy at 6.560/227.27. He qualified #14 at Seattle at 6.980/195.22 and lost to John Lombardo in round one, 6.86/196 to 7.255/216.34. Gordie ended the year with a fourth alternate effort at Ontario. We don't have those times, but the third alternate was Paul Smith at 6.439.

Notes: Bonin debuted his new Monza at Beeline for the NHRA Phoenix Winter Classic. He qualified #4 with a 6.40/223.88 and lasted until the second round where his 6.86/181.81 lost to eventual winner Don Prudhomme's 6.31/231. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he qualified #7 with a 6.25/221.13. Bonin beat Twig Zeigler's 6.61/216 in the opening round with a 6.35/212.76, but in round two, he got crossed-up and shut off against Tom Prock who advanced with a 6.27/212. He competed at the OCIR East vs. West Meet and then went to Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet.

Notes: This was Bonin's best season since he started driving Funny Cars. It started at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he debuted his new Firebird. He qualified #12 with a 6.37, and in the first round, picked up to 6.18/239.36 to beat Dale Emery's close 6.19/229. He then beat Ron Colson in the "Hawaiian" before losing to Raymond Beadle's 6.41 in the "Blue Max" with a quicker, but later 6.40 in the semifinals. At the Bakersfield March Meet, he qualified with a 6.35. Bonin ran a best of 6.10 before losing to eventual winner Eddie Pauling's 6.03 in the semifinals. He dominated the next event, the NHRA Gatornationals, where he qualified #1 with a 6.26/238.72 (Top Speed). He beat Dodger Glenn in the first round, and then set Low ET in round two with a 6.19/236 over Gary Burgin. In the semifinals, he dispatched Beadle with a 6.64/236. In the final, he raced veteran Roger Lindamood. Bonin took his first NHRA national event victory. Gordie then stopped off at OCIR for an eight-car show where he set Low ET and Top Speed at 6.13/240.00 before beating Dale Pulde in the final with a 6.26/236.84. He then won the Portland Funny Car Opener. There he set Low ET and Top Speed with a track record 232.95. The next day he went to Seattle and won its Funny Car Opener. Once again, he had the top times at 6.37/230.00. Bonin beat Terry Capp in the final. On April 9, he was at Irwindale's 64-car race. While he failed to reach the finals, he did run a best of 6.34/235.60. He did reach the final at the NHRA Division 6 race at Firebird Raceway. There, his 6.58/227.76 times were good for both Low ET and Top Speed, but in the final, he fouled against Rob Bruins, who was driving the "Green Elephant." Gordie won the NHRA Division 6 race at Mission Raceway. He was runner-up at the third Division 6 race in Seattle. He set Low ET at 6.22 before running 6.57/219.51 in the final only to lose to Mike Miller's 6.37/231. In June, he was at National Trail for the NHRA Springnationals. Bonin qualified #9 at 6.25/233.76, and in the first round, low qualifier, Burgin, fouled away a 6.15/234 while Bonin advanced with a 6.27/226.70. A second-round 6.29/230.76 advanced over Tom McEwen's troubled 10.12. In the semifinals, he smoked the tire to a 7.09/133.18 in a losing effort to Don Prudhomme, who was long gone with a 6.17/235. He was runner-up to John Lombardo at the OCIR Nitro Championships before winning Woodburn's fourth NHRA Division 6 race. He set Low ET and Top Speed at 6.29/229.59 while beating Mike Miller in the final. He did not compete at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. On July 31, he was at Portland for a 32-car show, and while he failed to reach the final, he set Top Speed at 224.43. Up in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals on August 7, Gordie qualified #5 in the eight-car field with a 6.36/229.59. Unfortunately, that set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Prudhomme. Don ran 6.21/234 to beat Bonin's 6.29/227. A week later (August 13), he was at Firebird Raceway for the Night Fire 500 race. All ten cars there made two runs, with the two lowest ETs meeting in the final. Gordie didn't make the final, but he did win his two races. A 7.21/215.74 beat Beadle in his first race, while he shut off when Twig Zeigler fouled against him in his second race. The NHRA Division 6 final was held at Portland International on August 19, and Gordie set Low ET and Top Speed on a first-round single with a 6.20/236.22. He then beat Miller to reach the final only to have Beadle gate him off the line, and his 6.33/225.56 lost to Raymond's 6.34/227. Bonin was at Spokane for the AHRA World Finals on August 21. He qualified #1 with a 6.34/230.17, and in round one, his 6.30/230.76 solo advanced when Jim Liberman lost fire. Gordie had another solo in round two when Capp shut off, and Bonin advanced with a 6.38/219.50. He looked like he was on his way to another win as his times were the best in each of the first two rounds, but he failed to hear the call for his semifinal race against Beadle, and the "Blue Max" was able to make a solo run into the final. At Indy for the NHRA US Nationals, he qualified #3 with a 6.106/240. An off-pace 6.62/224.43 lost to Bob Pickett's 6.36/216 in the first round. Only fifteen cars showed up at Seattle for the NHRA Fallnationals, so qualifying wasn't a problem. Still, Bonin ran 6.28/234.98 (Top Speed) to qualify #5 for the show. A 6.42/222.77 advanced over Bob Papirnick in the first round, but in round two, his 6.40/230.76 lost to Tripp Shumake's 6.28/223. Irwindale held its last race ever on October 1, and Gordie was there. It was a sixteen-car field, and Bonin ran 6.69/223 in the first round, over Tom McEwen, and in round two, Prudhomme broke on the line, and Gordie advanced with an easy run. In the semifinals, he faced Lombardo and Bonin ended up having traction problems and shutting off while John ran 6.28/193 to advance. At Ontario Motor Speedway for the NHRA World Finals, Gordie ran 6.19/239.36 to qualify #5. Bob Pickett broke against him in the opening round of eliminations, and his 6.19/232 advanced. A strong 6.16/239 beat low qualifier Burgin's 6.25 in round two, and in the semifinals, a 6.22/232 beat Tommy Ivo's troubled 11.68. The final came down to Bonin vs. The "Snake." Prudhomme had run been running like a bracket racer, hitting 6.06 on all three runs in eliminations, not to mention his 6.05 in qualifying. So it looked like Bonin was done. But, both slowed to 6.3's in the final, and Bonin's 6.31/228.42 triggered the win light ahead of Don's 6.36/238. | Runner-up to Mike Miller at Seattle PDA. - Joe Moore

Notes: Number four qualifier at the 1978 Winters at 6.224/234.98. | As mentioned, he qualified #4 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, and in the opening round of eliminations, his 6.39/229 beat Ron Colson in the "Hawaiian." But in the second round, both he and Tom Prock smoked the tires with Prock's 7.36/217 beating his 7.30/222 to the stripe. His next stop was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. He had won the race in '77 and was hoping to repeat—a 6.30/238.72 qualified #4. In the first round, his 6.43/233.76 beat Prock's 6.46/226. He got no time slip in round two but still won his race against Shirl Greer. His speed on that pass was 234.37. The car failed to fire for his semifinal race against Billy Meyer. It was later diagnosed to a broken lead from the magneto. He was at Bakersfield for the March Meet, where his first-round 6.29/229.00 lost to Ed McCulloch's 6.37/232. On April 8th, he was at Seattle for its Funny Car Opener. But once again, he lost in the opening round. This time, his 6.75/222.22 lost to Hank Johnson's 6.41/214. The NHRA Division 6 Opener was held in Seattle on May 7. Bonin qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.19/234.98. That was impressive, considering that he out-qualified Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen, McCulloch, and others. In round one, his 6.44/231.95 beat Jim Dunn's troubled 11.31. But in the semifinal, his 6.41/230.76 lost to McEwen's 6.22/216. Firebird Raceway hosted the next NHRA Division 6 race on May 21. Once again, Bonin qualified well, running 6.46 to get the #2 position behind Prudhomme's 6.24. But an off-pace 6.61/223.24 in the first round, lost to Twig Zeigler's 6.48/214. Shortly after that, he was at Edmonton International for its season opener. Eight cars ran two rounds of racing that had the two Low ET cars come back and race for the title. Gordie's 6.56/219.51 over Zeigler held for a final round birth. He faced McCulloch, whose 6.62 was the second-lowest time. The final was close, but McCulloch's 6.54/220 got the victory over Bonin's 6.60/214.28. In June, Bonin was at Cayuga for a best of three match race against Prudhomme. Being on his home turf didn't seem to help as he lost all three races to the "Snake." Don ran 6.3's on every pass while Gordie's best was 6.55/227.84. The other two runs were 6.86/161.29 and 6.84/218.97. He ran much better at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, where his 6.29/233.76 qualified #10. But a first-round 6.49/223.32 lost to Tom McEwen's 6.31/216. He was runner-up to John Lombardo at the OCIR Nitro Championships on July 1st, and a week later (July 9), he won the fourth NHRA Division 6 race held at Woodburn. There he qualified #1 with a 6.45. An easy 6.73/229.00 beat alternate Paul Luppy in round one, was followed by a 6.43/231.36 in the semifinal that beat Mike Miller's 6.65/213. He set Low ET and a Top Speed in the final with a 6.40/231.95 that beat Nick Harmon. He barely made the field at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. His 6.30/234.37 qualified on the "bump." In the first round, Gary Burgin slowed to 6.40/231, and Bonin's 6.29/236.22 slipped past. But despite running his best time of the weekend, a 6.18/238.72 in round two, he lost to Lombardo's 6.12/236. Portland held its big 32-car show in August. All cars were to make two runs, with the two lowest ETs meeting in the final. Bonin made a good account of himself, running 6.36 and 6.32 (both at 231)to beat Bryan Raines and Jim Moore. His times were not good enough to advance to the final. He did not race at the NHRA Grandnationals. Bonin qualified #15 at Ontario for the NHRA World Finals with a 6.24/235.60. A quick-leaving 6.28/234.37 beat John Force's 6.22/227 in the opening round, and in round two, opponent Billy Meyer lost a blower on the line, and Bonin's 6.41/233.16 advanced. He was stopped by Tom McEwen's 6.22/234 in the semifinals that beat his 6.29/236.22.

Notes: Gordie had a fabulous year in 1979. He won the Gatornationals, the US Nationals, and the World Finals. His Indy 5.979 was the 4th entry into the Cragar Five-Second Club. | Gordie started the season at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals. He qualified for the field, but he lost early. At the NHRA Winternationals, he qualified #10 but lost to Tripp Shumake driving Johnny Loper's Arrow in the first round. Bonin always seemed to run well at Gainesville, and '79 was no exception. His 6.38 qualified #12, and his 6.47 advanced over a crossed-up Shumake in the opening round. In round two, he soloed with a 6.92/221 when Al Segrini could not run. More luck came his way in the semifinals when Raymond Beadle, driving the "Blue Max," broke at half-track, and Gordie's 6.93/223 got the win. He faced Tom Hoover in the final and got a great leave that saw his 6.93/224.43 hold on for the victory over Hoover's quicker 6.84/227. A holeshot also won him the NHRA Division 6 Opener at Firebird Raceway. There, a final round 6.66/216.78 beat John Force's 6.62. He did not race at the NHRA Cajun Nationals, but he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. A 6.20/236.22 qualified #9 and set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Segrini who was driving the "Custom Body" car. Bonin slipped to a 6.58/187.11 that lost to Al's 6.16/230. Although he failed to make the finals at Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals, he did qualify #2 with a 6.39. H did not race at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals.
