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. |

Notes: The car raced as the "Stone, Woods & Cooke" Swindler IV. Mike had a good season in '73 behind the wheel of the "Stone, Woods and Cook" Mustang. He was a regular around the no-cal scene and ran very well. His season started on January 7 at Irwindale for the Grand Premiere race. It was a sixteen-car show, and he qualified #7 with a 6.98. In the opening round, his 6.60 beat Jim Murphy's new Satellite, and in round two, his 6.82/212.26 beat Leroy Chadderton's 6.86/217 in the "Hawaiian." His 6.80/214.79 fell to Butch Maas' 6.77/204 in the M/T Grand Am in the semifinals. Things didn't go too well at the second OCIR All-Pro race, where he failed to qualify for the eight-car field. The following week (January 28), Van Sant was at Beeline Dragway for the AHRA Winternationals. He qualified #24 with a 6.81/187.89. In the opening round of eliminations, his 7.54/195.65 lost to the eventual winner Don Schumacher's 6.58/208. He was one of the 58 cars that had attempted to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but the track was so horrible that no one could hook up and make a good run there. It only took a 7.84 to qualify, and Mike was among many who failed to qualify. He was back at OCIR for the third All-Pro race. A 6.80 qualified #5 and gave him the right to face low qualifier Sush Matsubara in the first round. Sush smoked the tires in their race, and Mike's 6.88/206.89 advanced. Unfortunately, an off pace 7.18/202.70 lost to eventual winner Tom McEwen's 6.70/218. His next stop was at the Bakersfield March Meet. He qualified #12 and beat Paula Murphy in the first round. In round two, he beat Twig Zeigler's 7.48 with a 7.25/207.84. He found himself in the semifinals once more, but he lost to Ed McCulloch there. Shortly after that (March 10), he was back at OCIR for an eight-car show. He ran 6.89 to qualify #6, and in round one, his 7.02/208.81 lost to Stan Shiroma's 6.80/211. On March 18, the "Stone, Woods, and Cook" car was at Fresno Dragway for the Winter Race of Champions. It was another eight-car show, and Mike's 6.83 qualified #3. He had an interesting first round when his opponent, Larry Christopherson, had his throttle stick wide open on his burnout. The "Arizona Wildcat" Vega crashed hard into the guardrail. Larry was ok, but this allowed Mike to solo with a 6.88/213.27 into the semifinals. But then he had some bad luck as the Mustang failed to fire for his race against the eventual winner, Dave Beebe driving the "Mr. Ed" Satellite. The following week (March 24), OCIR held its final All-Pro race. The final race featured sixteen-car fields, and Mike's 6.72 qualified #4. He made an easy solo in round one when Bob Pickett, driving the "Lil Demon," broke. But in round two, his 7.10/208.33 lost to Chadderton's 6.96/210. Early in April, OCIR held another eight-car event. Van Sant qualified on the "bump" with a 7.44. In the opening round, he improved to a 6.99/206.42 to advance over a broken Beebe. |

Notes: Mike was driving the "Stone, Woods and Cooke" Mustang at Beeline for the AHRA Winternationals. It was a 32-car field and his 6.81/187.89 qualified #24. He lost to eventual winner Don Schumacher in the first round. Van Sant’s off pace 7.54/195.65 lost to Don's 6.58/208. The team then went to OCIR for the third All-Pro race where Mike lasted until the semifinals before losing to Tom McEwen, who would also go on to win. The traction was horrible at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals and Van Sant failed to qualify. At the Bakersfield March Meet, Mike qualified in the lower half of the field, but still managed a semifinal finish to Ed McCulloch. The final OCIR All-Pro race was run on March 24 and it featured sixteen-car fields in the nitro classes. Mike qualified #4 and he advanced in the opening round when Bob Pickett broke. In round two he lost to Leroy Chadderton driving the "Hawaiian.†He was back at OCIR for an eight-car show shortly after that, where his 6.89 qualified #6. Unfortunately, he lost to Stan Shiroma in the first round. |

Notes: Mike was driving the "Hawaiian" on March 23 at Irwindale's Fox Hunt race. It was an eight-car field, and his 6.68 qualified #7. In the first round, his 6.64/220.04 lost to Danny Ongais' 6.6/217. But he got back into the show on the "break rule" when Ed McCulloch come not return in the semifinal due to a broken crankshaft. Van Sant made good in the semifinal when he set Low ET with a 6.55/221.13 that beat Ongais' 6.81/186. He faced Bob Pickett, who was driving Pete Everett's "Lil Demon" in the final. The two had a good race that had Bob's 6.64/218 win over Mike's 6.71/218.44 runner-up effort. The following week (March 31), he was at Fremont for the AHRA Northern Nationals. Unfortunately, his 6.66 in the opening round lost to eventual winner Tom McEwen's 6.50. |

Notes: Mike qualified for the AHRA Winternationals held at Beeline Dragway near the end of January. But he failed to stay around for eliminations. Mike was at OCIR in mid-March for the AHRA Grand American West race. It was a sixteen-car field, and his 6.87 qualified #9. Unfortunately, that set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Tom McEwen. The "Mongoose" beat him and went on to win the race. Additionally, a rumored 6.21 at 221 mph was clocked at US 30 in 1975. |

Notes: Mike was at Ontario Motor Speedway for its New Year's Day race. It was an eight-car field, and in the first round, he fouled at 7.54/195 against eventual winner Tripp Shumake. He qualified #6 at Tucson for the sixteen-car field for the AHRA Winternationals. He beat Steve Harris in the opening round, and a 6.81 in round two defeated Dick Custy. In the semifinals, Tom Hoover smoked the tires against him, and Mike advanced with a 6.82. He faced Shirl Greer in the final, and Mike's 6.84/207.85 got the victory over Shirl's 8.00. The following weekend (January 25), he went to Beeline Dragway for the Phoenix Winter Classic. It was another sixteen-car show, and he qualified #12. But he had issues and could not show for his first-round race against Gordie Bonin. In May, he was at Atco Dragway for a Coca-Cola Cavalcade race. His 7.03/193 in the first round beat Dick Bourgeois, but only the four quickest runs moved into the semifinals, and his time was not quick enough to advance. Mike did not run any NHRA national events this year. |

Notes: Mike ran at NHRA Fremont and Orange County this year. He was the second alternate at Fremont at 6.158/231.95 and qualified at the World Finals at 6.066/230.76. The 6.06 was a career-best (to this point). Unfortunately, he could not race in round one, because the car turned into a fireball at the end of his run. The engine and body were totally destroyed. Al Segrini took his place in the field. |

Notes: Mike qualified #14 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.341/230.17. He had problems in the first round and shut off to a 7.336/129.68, which lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.33/207. He qualified on the "bump" for the eight-car field at the Bakersfield March Meet with a 6.32/228.42. In the opening round, his off-pace 7.13 fell to Tripp Shumake's 6.22. In April, he competed at OCIR's 64-car show. All cars were to make two passes with the two cars with the lowest ETs meeting in the final. In his first race, his 6.29/218.97 lost to Kenny Bernstein's 6.04/238. In the second race, he had no opponent, so he made a 6.24/188.67 solo. His times were not good enough to advance to the final. A week later (April 9), OCIR held another 64-car show run in the same format. Mike smoked the tires in his first race and shut down against Henry Harrison. In his second race, his 6.26/223.32 beat a blower popping Ray Romund. Mike made the trip to NHRA Brainerd and was the second alternate at 6.330/227.27. He was the first alternate at the World Finals at 5.970/241.93, but he got into the program. He lost to Billy Meyer in round one, 5.96/229 to 6.107/227.84. |

Notes: This car was illegal in 1987 because of those teeny-tiny wheel bumps on the front fenders. Thanks to Bernstein & Head. Van Sant painted the word "BUICK" on the sides of this Mustang that year in protest. Mike came out at the Pomona Winters and ran 6.259/227.84 for the 13th alternate position. Back at Pomona for the World Finals, Mike ran 6.311/214.54 for the 11th alternate slot. | Went 5.71/225 at Tulsa and then ended up in the sand trap. We need to confirm the year for those times and the event. |
