Notes: Ron took over the driving chores of this car in July. His first outing with the car was at the Rockford Manufacturer's meet run on July 23. Colson did not set the world on fire there as he was getting used to his new ride. | At the 1972 OCIR Manufacturers Meet, Ron's 6.57/218.97 earned him a spot in the final against eighteen-year-old Billy Meyer (6.51/218.97). In that final, which pitted the two lowest ET cars, he lost a tire-smoking race when his 7.82/194.38 was beaten by Billy's 7.37/183.67. Third alternate at the NHRA Supernationals in Ontario at 6.564/215.31. |

Notes: Everyone loved the "Chi-Town Hustler." It had a mystique about it. The team didn't race at many major events as they did quite well on the match race trail. That being said, they could hold their own against any nationally touring pro quite easily. Seeing the team at a national event was kind of like seeing a movie star without their make-up. Ron Colson drove the car in '73, and if you had the "Hustler" at your track, you were sure to draw a crowd. In January, Colson started the '73 season with a win at the Miami-Hollywood Funny Car Nationals. It was a sixteen-car show, and Ron qualified #3 with a 6.78. He ran 6.66, a track record 6.64, and a 6.67 to reach the finals, where he met Al Marshall in the "Tyrant" Mustang. A final round 6.69/218.44 got the victory over Al's 6.95/189. Colson competed at the eight-car show for the Spring Drag Race at Atlanta Speed Shop Dragway. His 7.33 defeated Al Hanna's 7.48 in the "Eastern Raider in the first round." But in the semifinals, Wayne Mahaffey set Low ET with a 6.90 in the "Alabamian" to beat Ron's 7.12. Shortly after that, he was back in Miami for the Winter Funny Car Championships. This was another eight-car show, and in the opening round, Colson's 6.80/209.79 beat Shirl Greer's 6.98/207. A semifinal 6.70/213.77 lost to Richard Tharp's 6.71/211 in the "Blue Max." The team showed up at Lakeland for the IHRA Winternationals, where Ron qualified #4 with a 7.00. In round one, he ran 6.98/206.89 to beat Dave Condit's 7.11/200 in the "LA Hooker." Colson lost in the second round. On March 16/18, the team made a rare NHRA National event appearance at the Gatornationals. A strong 6.461/226.13 qualified #2, and a first-round 6.48 beat Paul Radici. In round two, the Charger slowed to a 6.70 that lost to Al Bergler's 6.57. Ron was in Connecticut in April for a four-car show. He ran Low ET at 6.61/218. A best of three match race against Tom Hoover was run at Minnesota, and Colson won three, straight setting a new track record 6.54. His best speed was 222. On April 28, the "Chi-Town Hustler" was at Capitol, and while Colson didn't reach the finals, he was one of four cars there that ran 6.5s. He ran 6.52/221 in beating "Jungle Jim" Liberman's 6.69/200 in one of his races. The next stop was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Colson qualified #3 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.62. In the first round, he was up against Tharp, who had only run 7.63 in qualifying. In their race, Ron improved to a 6.58/221.13, but Tharp improved even more, running a 6.33/211 to put Colson on the trailer. Colson did really well at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. It was a sixteen-car field, and in the first round, his 6.62 defeated Clare Sanders in the "Ramchargers" car. In round two, he beat Greer. He got a solo in the semifinal when Hanna lost oil pressure. In the final, he faced Bill Leavitt. The "Chi-Town" lost a supercharger, and Leavitt ran 6.71/207 for the win. Colson did get Top Speed honors at 221.67. Shortly after that, he was in New England for its fourth Funny Car Tourney race. Unfortunately, breakage killed Colson's chances when the car failed to fire for its first-round race with Dale Pulde. Breakage continued to plague the team at York US 30, where they were to run the "Blue Max" in a best of three match. Tharp won their first race when Colson broke a crankshaft. Ron was done for the day, and Tharp ran two solo passes for the match race win. July started right for the team, with Colson winning over an eight-car field at Edgewater's Funny Car Invitational. Shirley Muldowney fell to Ron's 6.85/212.76 in round one, and in the semifinals, his 6.83 advanced as Sanders broke a fuel pump. His final-round opponent was Low ET setter (6.56) Russell Long in the "Pabst" Charger. The two had a good race that saw Colson's 6.77/215.82 (Top Speed) victorious over Long's 6.89/206. The "Chi-Town Huster" was also at Rockford near the end of the month for its Manufacturer's Meet. Things didn't go so well as Colson lost to both Pat Foster driving the "Barry Setzer" Vega and Leavitt. In August, Colson was one of several cars that failed to qualify at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. The team returned to Edgewater for its Manufacturer's Funny Car Championships. Ron smoked the tires in the opening round and lost to Foster. Colson won the Dixie Nationals held at Blaney Drag Strip in October. He beat Liberman's 6.88 in the final with track record times of 6.65/218.44. The team also returned to Lakeland on October 14 for the IHRA Nationals. It was supposed to be a sixteen-car show, but the field was too short. Colson qualified #6 and a 6.86/209.79 beat Foster's 6.94/174 in round one. Unfortunately, Colson lost in the next round. Gainesville was the team's only NHRA national event in 1973. |

Notes: Times and info from National Dragster, 8/23/74. | This team spent most of its time on the match race trail. They figured there was not a lot of money to be made at NHRA events and preferred booked in shows. Colson really ran well at Rockingham in May for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. He qualified #1 for the sixteen-car field with a 6.62/214.79. During eliminations, he set Low ET at 6.50 and in the final, beat Raymond Beadle who was driving for Don Schumacher. The final wasn't pretty as his 7.28/226.70 (Top Speed) beat Beadle's equally troubled 7.38/220 for the victory. The team was at Bristol in June for the IHRA Springnationals where 35 cars attempted to qualify for the sixteen-car show. Ron’s 6.57 qualified #5 and he improved to 6.51/222.77 in the first round, to beat Beadle's 6.78/193. But in round two, eventual winner Billy Meyer ran 6.37/218 to beat Colson's 6.53/218.97. Colson got some revenge on Meyer at the next IHRA event, the Northern Nationals held at Mid-America Dragway on June 30. There, he stopped Billy in the final although Meyer sort of handed the win to the "Chi-Town" bunch when he had to shut off on the line when his headers fell off. Colson ran 7.31/216.86 for the win after earlier posting Top Speed at 222.58. The "Chi-Town Hustler" team always made a point in running at the PHR Championships at Martin, Michigan. The race was run with all cars running the first-round and the eight lowest ETs advancing into round two. In the qualifying round, Colson ran 6.63/217.39. This was enough to advance into the second round where both he and "Jungle Jim" Liberman got out of shape. Ron’s 7.26/189.87 beat Jim's 7.81/197. The semifinals saw Colson run 6.49/211.26 to stop Jim Nicoll at 6.90/154. This moved him into the final against Don Prudhomme. Don was running really well with times of 6.52, 6.30, and 6.35 to reach the final. Colson's crew chief, Austin Coil, must have added some clutch for the final as the Charger went into a huge wheelstand that crashed down hard, busting their oil pan. Prudhomme was long gone with a 6.49 for the victory. Ron also ran well at the IHRA US Open. He qualified #8 and made his way to the semifinals, where a motor blowing 6.56 beat Denny Savage's 6.85 in the "Hawaiian.” Unfortunately, the team was unable to repair in time and Savage was reinstated for the final. Colson also had problems at the IHRA All-American race at Bristol. He qualified for the show, but broke a set of titanium pistons. Alternate Larry Gould took their place in the field. |

Notes: From Chapman Automotive in Chicago came the Chicago Patrol Mustang. Doubling as a promotional liaison for the Chicago Police Department, the car debuted in early 1975 with Allen Gillis wrenching and former Chi-Town Hustler shoe Ron Colson at the helm who soon vacated the cockpit to vagabond flopper shoe Pat Foster. - 70sfunnycars.com | Ron did not qualify at the Gatornationals and Springnationals before turning the wheel over to Foster. |

Notes: The "Hawaiian" qualified #9 at Seattle for the NHRA Fallnationals, which meant that Colson had to run low qualifier Don Prudhomme in the opening round. Don's 6.23 put Ron's 6.32 on the trailer. The team was really running well at Sacramento for the Governor's Cup Championships. Colson ran a 6.16 on his way to a final-round meeting with Gordie Bonin. In the final, he improved to 6.14/226 to win over Bonin's 6.20. In Ontario for the NHRA World Finals, Ron's 6.18/225.56 qualified #2 behind Prudhomme. An opening round 6.24 beat Bonin, but in the second round, he smoked the tires and shut off to 8.66 in a loss to Ed McCulloch. The best NHRA national event times were the 6.184 at Ontario and 230.17 at Seattle (plus a nice 6.191 at Indy). South Chicago Auto Parts sponsored. |

Notes: Ron qualified #8 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. In the first round, he beat Ed McCulloch with a 6.20. In lost to Gordie Bonin's new Firebird in the second round. He won the Sacramento race of Champions. He qualified #13 at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, but his opening round 6.46 lost to Gary Burgin's 6.35. Early in June, Ron was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. He qualified third in the eight-car field with a 6.48/222.77. Unfortunately, he hurt some parts and was unable to make his first-round race against Rob Bruins in the "Green Elephant.” Not long after that, the "Hawaiian" was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Colson won his first-round race, but once again he hurts some parts and was unable to make his second round race against Don Prudhomme. The following week (June 18), Colson was at Martin, Michigan’s Funny Car Opener. He made it into the final where his 6.22 finished runner-up to Prudhomme's 6.13. The following day, he was at Byron for the Manufacturer's race. The "Snake" got him again, this time in round two where Ron's 6.42/222 fell to Prudhomme's 6.30/233. He was back at Martin, Michigan, in July for the third NHRA Division 3 race. He reached the final against Billy Meyer only to lose a 6.22/219 to 6.34/218.44 race. At Englishtown, for the NHRA Summernationals, a 6.180 qualified #5. But in the first round, he lost in a tire-smoking battle against McCulloch. His 6.82 lost to the "Ace's" 6.75. Ron and Tommy Ivo were at Edgewater for a best of three match race in August. Each had won one race each and Colson had lowered the track record to 6.31, but the third race between the two was never run. The "Hawaiian" always seemed to run well at the PHR Championships at Martin. In '77, the team did alright. In the qualifying round, Ron’s 6.40 beat Burgin's 6.44 and in the next round, Ron’s 6.52 fell to Dale Pulde's 6.20. He also ran 6.22 at Indy 9/77. Best NHRA national event ET was the 6.180 at Englishtown and 233.16 at the Ontario World Finals. |

Notes: Began the year with the Monza but later switched to the Corvette. They ran 6.382/222.77 to qualify #12 at NHRA Pomona, CA but hit the guardrail in round one. A 6.668/222.77 was the first alternate at the Gatornationals. The team stepped up to the #5 qualifier at NHRA Columbus with a 6.200/235.60 but lost to Tom Prock in round one, 6.33/229 to 6.43/229.59. Ron also qualified #5 at Englishtown at 6.130/236.84. He beat Kenny Bernstein in round one, 6.23/236.22 to 6.52/205. In round two, Ron laid a massive holeshot on Don Prudhomme and took a 6.33/236.22 to 6.17/241 victory. However, Ed McCulloch got to him in the semis, 6.13/236 to 6.65/230.76. We think the Corvette debuted at Indy. | R/U to the resurgent Blue Max at the '78 SIR 64 FC meet, then the Fallnationals over the War Eagle, who won the rain-delayed SIR opener that April over Ivo. - Joe Moore |

Notes: Colson qualified #2 at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals with a career-best 6.00/240.64. He lost to Don Prudhomme in the first round. At the NHRA Fallnationals at Seattle, a 6.14/234.98 qualified #5, but he smoked the tires in the first round, and lost to Nick Harmon. His season ended on a high note when he won the NHRA World Finals at OCIR. He had announced his retirement shortly before the race and then went out and qualified #1 with a 6.11/238.09 (Top Speed). He beat Dale Armstrong in the first round. In round two, his 6.21 beat Kenny Bernstein's 6.30, while a 6.41/231.36 advanced in the semifinals when Roy Harris crossed the center line. In the final, he faced Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max." Beadle was running well, setting Low ET at 6.06. But in the final, he had trouble and shut off, giving Colson's 6.28/230.17 the victory. Ron did well in the NHRA points standings, finishing third for the season. |

Notes: The "Hawaiian" team showed up with the new Omni at Pomona. Colson qualified #11 with a 6.15/239.99. His 6.29/233.16 advanced when Raymond Beadle went into a wheelstand in the "Blue Max" and shut off in the first round. In round two, he beat Tom Hoover and, in the semifinals, a 6.34 beat Kosty Ivanof's out-of-shape 7.21. In the final, he faced Dale Pulde. Colson got out of shape and crossed the centerline, giving Pulde the victory. At the NHRA Gatornationals, Ron qualified #10. He advanced past the first-round with a 6.36/210.77 when the second qualifier Tripp Shumake had his steering go out. He got out of shape in round two and shut off against Tom Ridings in Joe Pisano's Arrow. Ron was at the Seattle Opener in April. The race featured an eight-car fuel Funny Car show, and Colson won the event. In the final, he beat Tom McEwen with a 6.15/238.09; his final round numbers were good for Low ET and Top Speed. On April 27, he was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. Ron qualified the "Hawaiian" #3 in the eight-car show with a 6.09/242.58. A 6.13/242 beat Dale Armstrong in the first round, but he smoked the tires in the semifinals and lost to Paul Smith in Larry Coogle's "Sting." He was runner-up to Don Prudhomme at the Olympics of Drag Racing race at Union Grove. At the NHRA Springnationals, Colson qualified #1 with a 6.12/239.36 (Top Speed). Unfortunately, Prudhomme had a lousy time in qualifying and only qualified ninth, setting up a first-round meeting between the two. The "Snake" picked up to a 6.08/222 to get the win over the "Hawaiian's" 6.20/237.46. A the NHRA Summernationals, Ron qualified with a 6.085. That was his best time until the Indy 6.000 in the new Corvette. Did the team run 6.032 somewhere this year? (It was not run in either the Omni or the Corvette at an NHRA national event). |

Notes: Photo from the 2009 Cordova Dragway Nostalgia Fest. Car not set up for Ron's longer arms and he could not really steer. Ron only did a burnout and launch. He was cautious about making a run in a car that was not set up for him. - Ron Colson phone call with BP, 11/11/19 |
