Racing his Top Alcohol Dragster named Whiplash, Michael van Rensburg took advantage of the absence of defending SA Top Eliminator Champion, Pieter de Witt and beat his brother, Nico van Rensburg in the final run to take the lead in the quickest category after the first-round.

Notes: Set South African national record with 6.01 at 393.43 kph (244.51 mph) at Tarlton International Raceway. | Newspaper report: Nico van Rensburg cut his teeth on Drag racing. Born in 1974, the same year that construction commenced on Tarlton International Raceway, the sport has embraced his life. At the age of twelve, while most of his peers were up to no good, he spent his time in less frivolous pursuits, working on the cars over weekends and pit-crewing for his father, Mick. Finally, in 1988, he collected his first ride. A cool 1965 semi-modified Pontiac GTO, powered by a normally aspirated 7.5 litre V8 engine, which ran low 13s. Over the next three years, it provided an excellent learning curve, allowing him to win various streetcar events and stock eliminator classes at Drag meetings. In 1991, he was ready for bigger things and headed up to the Top Eliminator class, racing a Top Alcohol Dragster that recorded times in the mid-7s. Assisted by his Dad and a few other people, he essentially assembled the car himself and was soon running sub-8s and reaching speeds of 300kph during his first two events. He raced the car for seven years, holding the quarter-mile record for this class at 7.012 seconds until August 10, 2009, when his older brother, Michael, broke it with an overwhelming 6.849-second run. To say that Michael beamed radiantly over the next couple of events was an understatement. At twenty-one, with his father as his instructor, Nico underwent an extensive training course at Tarlton in order to pilot one of the celebrated Jet Dragsters. Over the years, he set a personal best of 6.150 seconds in the fire breather. For the uninitiated, that is a terminal velocity of 411kph over the quarter. During the 1990 season, having purchased two Top Fuel Dragsters, Mick became the first driver in the country to break the 200 mph barrier in a piston-engined vehicle when he posted a run of 6.900 seconds. The car in question was the well-known Castrol Dragster, and the record stood until 1996. The term Top Fuel implies a fuel mix of around 90% Nitromethane and 10% Methanol. Due to the fact that the former is decidedly corrosive, the trick is to run the hell out of the car, then make a heroic attempt to stop it before it explodes. With the assistance of American, Donny Holbrook, Nico completed a course on the oddities of this class and proceeded to run the fastest time ever recorded within that period of SA Drag history by running an elapsed time of 6.010 seconds (393.43 kph). What made this performance even more incredible was that it was achieved during one of the night meetings, and secondly, Nico, suitably nervous, had never driven the car before. Donnie Holbrook was inducted into the NHRA Hall of Fame, class of 2017.

Notes: The car debuted in 1968 with Chevy power and different owners, but Van Sant drove. In 69, he took over the project and added a 354 Chrysler to power the car to several local wins. Mike served as team captain at OCIR Manufacturer's Championships as part of the Wacky Racer team, basically, cars whose power plants didn't match their body styles, e.g., Hemi-powered Chevy, etc. The car ran in 1970 throughout the East with Mike Crowe, where it crashed at Atco Dragway, although Van Sant also drove. This car deserved more recognition as it was a top runner. A 7.98 qualified Mike eighth at the HRM Championships on March 16, and a first-round 8.09/185.18 advanced when Larry Fullerton fouled. A second-round 8.04/187.29 beat Steve Bovan's 8.06/179, but Pat Foster's 7.64/191.89 beat his 7.96/187.89 in the semis. Lions held an eight-car show on March 22, and Mike qualified fifth with a 7.94, then went 8.08/188.67 over Dave Beebe in the Super Chief, followed by a 7.71/191.08 over Leroy Hales. He singled for the win in the final with a 7.71/190.67 when Ron O'Donnell lost to fire on the line in a Don Schumacher 'Cuda. Another eight-car show was run on April 13 at Irwindale, and Mike's 8.06 qualified sixth, but he fouled in round one. At Lions on April 19, he qualified #6 in the eight-car field with a 7.75. He lost to Danny Ongais in the first round. Twenty-one cars showed for 16 spots at Irwindale on April 26, and the Invader qualified second with a 7.72/187.50. A 7.68/191.48 got him into the second round, where his 7.82/190.66 beat Randy Walls' 7.89/183. Ed Lenarth smoked the tires in the semis, and Van Sant's 7.71/191.48 advanced to the finals, where he lost to Ongais' 7.37/193.54 in the M/T Mustang with an 8.01/181.44. At the OCIR Manufacturer's Open on May 3, Mike qualified #1 on the GM team with a 7.51/194.80, which held up for Top Speed. He won his first and second-round races with sub-par times when his opponents had problems, and then he lost to Rich Siroonian in round three. Back at Irwindale on May 17 for an eight-car show, Mike's 7.71/190.26 won the first round, and he and Dave Beebe both broke in the semis with the Corvette out-coasting the Charger. But Mike could not repair it for the final, so Beebe got back in on the break rule. Still, at Irwindale for another eight-car show on May 30, Van Sant's 7.55/196.06 advanced to the semis, where he lost fire. The next day (May 31) at OCIR for the Funny Car 500, Mike's 7.61/195.65 qualified fourth, but he got crossed up and lost in the first round. He then went to Seattle for the Travelon's Fuel Championships on June 8 and qualified #1 with a 7.72/196.06 and ran Low ET and Top Speed with a first-round win at 7.68/196.56 before losing in the semis to Mike Miller's holeshot 8.09/180 to the Invader's 8.08/184. On June 21, at the Lions' AHRA Grand American Championships, Mike won over Gary Gabelich in an all-Corvette semifinal, 7.41/195.65 to Gary's 8.14/181.81. He was to face Ongais again for the money, but no final race was run due to the lateness, and they split the money. Still, at Lions for an eight-car race on June 28, Mike set Low ET in qualifying #1 at 7.48, and a first-round win at 7.63/196.07 set Top Speed, but a blown motor in the semis ended his chances for a win. Another semifinal finish came at the Irwindale July 4 race when Ongais' 7.39/198.66 beat Van Sant's 7.60/194.80. Ongais' 7.42/192.72 beat the Invader again in the semis at Irwindale's eight-car show on July 12. Mike did set Top Speed at 196.92. At the PDA Championships at OCIR on July 19, the Invader team was off its game, qualifying eight with an 8.01. In the opening round, his 8.14 beat Warren Gunter's 8.68. He shut off on the line in the second round against Gary Gabelich in the "Beach City" Corvette. Irwindale held a sixteen-car show on July 26, and once again, Mike set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 7.37/197.10, but the pass cost him an engine, and he could not run in eliminations. On August 2 at Lions for an eight-car show, a 7.56/195.22 got him into the semis, where engine problems put him out. He had problems again on August 30 at Lions for the Drag News Nationals. This time, he broke in the first round against Leroy Hales. Van Sant finished runner-up on September 1 at an eight-car show at Irwindale when he got crossed-up in the final and lost to Johnny Wright's Corvette at 7.61/191. Earlier, he qualified second with a 7.72 and ran 7.65/186.36 and 7.97/187.50 to make it final. At OCIR for an eight-car race on September 6, he qualified last at 8.85, but then his 8.12/167.59 won his first race, but then the car caught fire from oil leaking from a valve cover gasket. The safety crew extinguished the fire. His 7.85/161.87 won in round two, but the car went up in flames again. Mike had had enough and parked the car for the night. Another eight-car show at Lions on September 13 saw Mike's 7.51/176.12 win his first-round race, but Gordon Mineo's 7.55/193.13 beat his 7.52/185.56 in the semis. A 7.85 qualified the Invader fourth at an eight-car show at Irwindale on September 21, but he lost to Steve Bovan's 7.71/194 Camaro in the first round when he got crossed up. A well-deserved victory came at Lions on October 4 when Mike set both Low ET and Top Speed in the first round, with a 7.24/199.11, beating Mineo's 7.85/161. A semifinal round 7.36/185.56 beat Marv Eldridge, whose Corvette nipped the guardrail, and a final 7.47/196.07 beat Ed Carter's Corvette. On October 11, Van Sant showed up at OCIR, wheeling an M/T Mustang. Bob Smith replaced him in the Invader. The switch was short-lived as Van Sant was back in the car on November 7 for the Manufacturers' Meet at OCIR, where he was the top qualifier for the wacky racers with a 7.36. He won all three of his races with a 7.48/194.80 over Terry Hedrick, a 7.80/187.50 over Ongais, and a 7.47/194.80 over a transmission-exploding Don Schumacher. At Irwindale on November 23 for a 32-car Funny Car show, Mike won his first race with a 7.89/190.26, but a blown rear end finished him in round two. On November 29, Lions held an eight-car show, and Larry Reyes 7.21/205.47 in the Hawaiian beat Mike's 7.30/200.44 in the first round. And then, on December 6 at OCIR, the Corvette curse came to haunt the team. After running a qualifying 7.40 (good enough for third), the motor blew, causing a fire, and the Corvette's body was blown off the chassis. Mike was OK, but the car was not, and the first alternate, Ray Alley, replaced him in the field. - Ron Howard

Notes: Car ran in the high 7.20 range on a really good day, and cracked 200 on may occasions. Van Sant was team captain for the Wacky Racer team (in essence cars whose power plants differed from the body brand) at the 69 Manufacturer's meet. Won a lot of races, too. Car was campaigned throughout the 1970 season. Team burned the body off at Rockford, IL, and replaced the body with a Camaro to finish the season. Solano & Van Sant Invader Cuda was a different car.

Notes: The car debuted in classic Invader livery with Van Sant driving. Van Sant ventures off with Mickey Thompson to run one of his cars on Coke Circuit. The car later resurfaced in 71 as Contemporary Fiberglass Spl. - Mike Gagnon | Mike was at OCIR on March 14 for an eight-car show. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 7.30, but in the opening round, he lost oil pressure and shut down on the line against eventual winner Danny Ongais. He also set Low ET in qualifying on March 28 at OCIR for the final All-Pro race. Unfortunately, it came at a price as he could not run in the first round due to engine problems.

Notes: I think that the Mustang being referenced here belonged to Stone, Woods and Cook, not Mickey Thompson. Mickey Thompson ran a Vega and a Pinto about this time. Van Sant was hired driver for SWC Mach I. It was the last in the series of SWC machines. Van Sant bought the car in 73 and reknewed his own racing efforts with the car re-named the Invader. He basically ran this car for years, replacing bodies as new styles surfaced.
