Notes: Tommy started the year at Bakersfield on January 2 for an NHRA Jackpot Circuit Race. He beat John Edmunds in the first round, with an 8.01/205.46. He didn't win, but he ran well. On January 9 at Carlsbad for another Jackpot Pro-Circuit race, he qualified #1 with a 7.57/209.30 and beat Mike Sorokin in the first round, with a 7.55. In the semifinal, he beat Bill Leavitt with a 7.52/209.78 that held for Low ET of the meet. In the final, he lost to John Mulligan's 7.59/205.00 with a 7.90/208.80. At the Santa Maria Fuel Fest on January 16, he qualified second with a 7.87/202.70. In the first round, a 7.76/177.86 beat James Warren's 8.01/190.00 in Jim Seaton's Chrysler. In the second round, he got a bye run and, in the semifinal, a 7.91/199.54 beat Ron Hampshire (8.34) in Ted Gotelli's car. In the final, he faced the Low ET (7.74) car of Bill Demarest and beat him with a 7.77/199.54. At another Jackpot Pro Circuit race at Pomona on January 23, he runner-upped to Bill Leavitt with Bill's 7.76/193.54, beating Tom's 7.79/194. At the NHRA Winternats in February, he qualified 24th with a 7.80 but failed to make it to the late rounds. The Bakersfield March Meet was run on the 5 and 6th. On Saturday, Allen ran 7.55/204.08 to beat Don Prudhomme, but in round two, his 7.69/199.10 finished second best to Mike Snively's 7.64/199. On Sunday, he again made it into round two. An opening round 7.92/183.67 beat Jack Ewell, who had shut down early, but his 7.69/203.60 lost to Snively's 7.49/195. Tom won again on March 13 at Carlsbad for a Jackpot Pro-Circuit race. He ran a final round 7.87/205.94 to win. He was runner-up to Danny Ongais on March 26 for the Riverside Jackpot Circuit race. A final round 7.79/201.44, lost to Ongais' 7.71/205. Another win came on March 27 when 17 cars showed for an eight-car field at Pomona. Tommy faced Tom McEwen in the final and ran a 7.66/207.36 to win when McEwen fouled. The roles were reversed on April 3 at Carlsbad for a Division 7 race when McEwen set Low ET (7.53) in winning over Allen in the final. Irwindale held a sixteen-car Top Fuel show on April 9, and Allen ran well enough to meet Dave Beebe in the final. Unfortunately, the two cars were lined up for the final when a circuit breaker blew out. Due to the late hour, the final was never run, and the two split the purse. On April 17, he was back at Riverside for another Jackpot circuit race. In the first round, Dave McKenzie failed to fire, so Tommy ran a solo, but, in the semifinal, he lost to John Mulligan's 7.80. Irwindale held another sixteen-car event on April 23, and a 7.90 qualified Tommy #10. In the first round, he fouled against Nick Marshall. He lost to Mulligan's 7.30/219.50 blast in the first round, at the Pomona Pro Circuit race on April 24. At Beeline's Third Annual Fuel and Gas Championships on April 30, Allen set Top Speed at 208.32 and won the meet with a final 7.95/127.97 when McEwen fouled. At Irwindale on May 7, he qualified second at 7.84 and ran a first-round 7.94/181.08 over John Mitchell. But a strong run of 7.65/200.88 by Snively in the Hawaiian beat Tom's 7.98/200.44 in the second frame. On May 8, another Jackpot Pro-Circuit race was held in Carlsbad. Tommy set a 7.52 track record in the first round, at 206.88 and went on to the final to meet Beebe. There Allen fouled away a 7.57/208.32, letting Beebe's 7.61/192.70 collect the win. Another win came at Irwindale on May 14 when he beat Jim Dunn in the final. Allen qualified #1 with a 7.57 that held for Low ET. Fifteen cars showed for the eight-car field at Irwindale the following week (May 21). Allen qualified and ran 7.78 in the first two rounds to meet Ongais in the final. Danny fouled, and Tommy took another victory with a 7.92/201.34. He was at San Diego for a best of three match against Lyle Fisher and Red Greth the next day. Ray Maurell drove their car. He won the first race with an 8.17/191 when Ray shut off, but in the second race, Allen shut off to 8.56/130 while Maurell got the win with an 8.16/189. Allen got the match race victory in the tie-breaker with a 7.77/200.89 over Ray, who had got out of shape and shut off. Irwindale treated him well as on June 4, he again qualified #1 with a 7.74 and went on to win over a fouling Steve Porter in the final. He was at Carlsbad on June 10 for an eight-car show but lost in the semifinals. The next day (June 11) found him back at Irwindale. He ran an 8.66/131.77 over a fouling Ron Goodsell in the first round, and a semifinal 7.87/194.38 beat Dwight Salisbury. In the final, his off pace 8.09/128 lost to Mike Sorokin's 7.63/206. He didn't win at Carlsbad on June 17, and on the 18th, he was back at Irwindale, where a 7.80 qualified #5. In the first round, he faced low qualifier Sorokin and beat him with a 7.66/177.86 over Mike's 7.87. In the semifinal, a holeshot by Ongais made his 7.58/199.10 a loser to Danny's 7.59/205. On June 19, Riverside held the HRM Championships. Allen qualified #22 with a 7.70/206.43. He stopped James Warren in the first round, but in the second round, John Edmunds' 7.49/205 beat his 7.54/206.42. He lost in the first round, at an eight-car show at Irwindale on June 25. Allen qualified #6 with a 7.70, but in the first round, he shut off to a 9.11/84.90 and lost to Ongais' 7.79/201. He suffered another rare first-round loss at Irwindale on July 9 when Mulligan ran a Low ET 7.44/205 to stop his 7.73/204.54. On July 10 at Santa Maria, John Edmunds' 7.63/209.30 stopped his 7.82 in the first round. He ran well at Lions for the AHRA Championships but failed to make the finals. He did make the final at Carlsbad on July 29 for an eight-car show, but Mulligan's 7.91/203 beat his 8.27/131.38. On August 12, he qualified #1 with a 7.74 at Irwindale. He ran Low ET in the first round, with a 7.72/208.32, beating John Harbert, but in doing so, he lost his motor in the lights and was done for the day. He had Top Speed (216) at Carlsbad on August 15 for an eight-car show and beat Bill Leavitt and Leroy Goldstein to advance into the final to meet the Low ET (7.44) car of Jeep Hampshire. Allen took the win. He won again the following week at Carlsbad (August 26). Once again, he met Jeep Hampshire in the final. This time, Allen set Low ET with a final round blast of 7.47/205.46 to cover Jeep's 7.82/201. He continued his winning ways at Carlsbad on September 5 by winning the Jackpot Circuit race. He set Low ET and Top Speed at 7.51/216.34 before dropping Leroy Goldstein's 7.71/210 in the final with a 7.76/208.30. Goldstein reversed the roles on September 15 when he met Allen in the final at Carlsbad for an eight-car show. In the final, Tommy fouled, giving Leroy the win. Not sure what car he was driving or if it was even the Allen and Huff car in these notes above. On September 23, for sure in the Allen-Huff car, he attended the final Division 7 race at Irwindale. In round one, he lost to John Edmunds (7.61/200.88) after setting Top Speed in qualifying at 213.76. On October 7 at Carlsbad, a second-round track record (7.36) by Leroy Goldstein (Crower & Blair) beat Allen. At Irwindale on October 15, he again lost in the first round, this time to Dominic Cardoza's 7.74/202.24. The next day (October 16), back at Carlsbad, he won his first-round race but lost a motor doing it, putting him out. He raced at the Irwindale Grand Prix on October 22, getting past a fouling Dwight Salisbury in the first round, with a best-ever (to this point) 7.39. He ran another 7.39 at 196.92 in round two to beat Jerry Bivins' 7.53/205. In the third round (32-car field), his 7.61 beat Frank Pedregon, but he lost to Beebe in the semifinals. On October 23, at Carlsbad, Allen's Low ET and Top Speed of the meet 7.27/208.80 won, beating Ewell's 7.53. Finally! A first-round 7.28/201.78 showed his final time was no fluke. He made an easy run in the semis when Kelly Brown fouled in the Outcast. Tommy qualified #1 with a 7.38 at Irwindale on November 19, but he shut off on the line with no oil pressure in the first round. On December 26 at Irwindale for the UDRA Fuel Championships, Tommy qualified eighth with a 7.44/214.30. He won his first-round but lost to Mike Sorokin's 7.50 in round two with a 7.52/195.22. Blair's Engineering. First over 210: Tommy Allen - 212.76 mph national record at Carlsbad, California, 4/02/66, then 213.76 at Irwindale on 9/24/66.

Notes: Allen was at Lions on Jan 7 for an eight-car show. In the first round, his 7.64/199.54 lost to Rick Stewart's 7.48/216. But Stewart's car broke on the run, so Tommy was reinstated for the semifinals, where his 7.89 lost to eventual winner Dave Beebe's 7.63. At the AHRA Winternationals, Tommy qualified #21 with a 7.87, and he beat Gene Goleman in the first round, before fouling against Steve Carbone in round two. Surprisingly, Allen failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. On February 12, he was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. He qualified last with a 7.32/213.76 but broke while doing it and was replaced by Jack Williams. A week later (February 19), he was at Famoso for the Bakersfield Meet, but he lost to Mike Sorokin in the first round. On March 5, Allen was at Carlsbad for another eight-car show. Twenty-three cars were attempting to qualify, and Tommy's 7.16/214.28 qualified #3. He lost to eventual winner Tom McEwen's 7.23/218 in the first round, when he had problems and shut off early. He was back at Irwindale in April. A 7.58 qualified #3 in the eight-car show, but his car broke while winning in the first round, and he could not return for the semifinal. At the HRM Championships, Allen qualified #2 in the 32-car show with a 7.30/211.26. He shut off to 8.31/119.72 in the first round, when Hank Clark fouled against him. Unfortunately, a second-round 7.49/209.30 lost to McEwen's 7.37/209. He won over an eight-car field at Lions on April 22. He only qualified #5 with a 7.48, but in the first round, low qualifier, Dave Beebe had problems, and Allen's 7.76/210.28 advanced. His 7.57/205.00 beat Steve Carbone driving John Bateman's "Atlas Oil Tool" car in the semifinals. In the final, he faced Bob Mayer in the "Speedmasters" car. Allen took the victory with a 7.47/207.34 over Mayer's 7.59/209. A week later, he was at Irwindale, where he fouled against Beebe in the first round. More problems for the team came at the NHRA Division 7 race at Carlsbad. They qualified for the eight-car field, but a 7.28 first-round win over John Edmunds' 7.29 in Tony Waters' car cost them some engine parts, and they were unable to return for the semifinal. On May 13, Tommy was a Lions, where he set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 7.26 at 214.28. He made his way into the final by running 7.61/183.28 and 7.50/185.18, but he lost to Claude Stark driving the "Berry Brothers" car in the final. It was back to Irwindale for another eight-car show on May 20. In the opening round, his 7.54/190 lost to eventual winner Jeep Hampshire's 7.46/176. He got another win on June 17 when he won at Lions. A quick-leaving 7.36/203.60 beat James Warren's quicker 7.27 in the first round, and a 7.56 in the semifinals his 7.56 beat Kelly Brown. In the final, a 7.49/214.28 beat Jeep Hampshire. The following week (June 24), he lost in the first round, to McEwen at the NHRA Division 7 race at Stardust Raceway.

Notes: Blair's Engineering machine. Ran 6.77 at OCIR. | After Tommy Allen was released from the Army, he rejoined Larry Huff to drive this Top Fuel dragster. Car owner Huff was not shy when it came to spending money on this car. The total cost of the car and trailer was $30,000. The trailer housed a spare engine ready to go if needed. The engines were Ed Pink built 392 Hemis. Woody Gilmore built the 196" wheelbase chassis. The rear end was a Mopar unit carrying 3.64 gears. The first time Tommy drove for Huff was at Lions on May 10. Unfortunately, the team failed to qualify for the eight-car field. Allen was back at OCIR on May 17 for a sixteen-car show. He beat Bob Williams in the first round, with a 7.56/212.26, but in round two, another 7.56/185.94 lost to Leland Kolb. On May 24 he was at the NHRA Division 7 race at Irwindale. He beat Ron Goodsell's 7.09 in the first round, with a 6.98/218.97 and in round two, he ran a consistent 6.97, but lost to Hank Westmoreland's better leaving 7.00. Irwindale held another race on June 7. Allen qualified and then ran 7.03/217.38 in the first round, to beat Butch Maas' 7.37/215 in Tony Waters' car. In the semifinals, he slowed to 7.27/191.88 that lost to Carl Olson's 6.99/217.

Notes: Blair's Engineering. | Tommy Allen must have been taking it easy early in '70 as I can't find anything on him until August 15 at the OCIR Anniversary race where he lost fire on the line in round one. It gets better though, when he qualified #1 with a 6.87 at Irwindale, but still lost in round one, when he smoked the tires against Kelly Brown. Back at OCIR for their double header on August 29, he qualified #1 with a 6.74, but lost to James Warren's 6.75/212 in round one, with an off pace 7.17/195. At the Lions Anniversary race on September 26, Allen was starting to set a pattern. He qualified #1 with a Low ET of the Meet 6.57 then lost in round one. He made it past the first-round at Irwindale's second annual Grand Prix on October 3, but lost to Gary Cochran's holeshot 6.91/212 to Allen's quicker 6.89/210.28. On October 24, Lions held an eight-car fuel meet and Tommy lost in the semis to Danny Ongais' 6.54/227 with a 6.66/220.04. Allen won a big one driving Byron Blair's car to a win at the AHRA World Finals on November 15 beating Preston Davis in the final. A 6.831 qualified him #13 at the NHRA Supernationals, but he lost early. | Best NHRA national event times were the 6.831 at 207.85.

Notes: Blown fuel. This car was built late in 1966, probably did not hit the strip until 1967. Alley ran this same chassis through 1970 with Cudas replacing the Charger, and a Duster replacing the Cuda bodies.

Notes: Alley literally tore the roof off his three-week-old Charger at Irwindale on August 25. According to the 9/01/67 National Dragster, this occurred when his throttle stuck during a qualifying pass, resulting in a wide-open run that ended a full 1/8th mile past the finish line. He turned Low ET of 8.19 of the event in the process and returned to participate in eliminations, topless. - RT | Ran 8.62 and 8.77 at OCIR Mfg. Meet 11/25/67. Ran 8.19 at Irwindale. - DC | This car took a long time to build. Alley had wanted to have the first Charger Funny Car, but problems held the car back and it actually took 18 months to get finished. The frame was designed by Ray and Bob Brown, but the final welding was done by Don Long. The wheelbase was 118" and it used an Olds rear axle with 3.90 gears. Of course, Alley’s company, Engine Masters, built the TorqueFlite transmission. The engine was an early 354 Hemi built by Dave Cole. Ed Pink line-bored the block. The crank was a standard Chrysler unit. M/T rods and Venolia 7:1 pistons were used. Chet Herbert supplied the cam. The heads were ported and polished by Lockerman with stock 2" Chrysler intake valves. The exhausts were 2 1/8" Donovans. Tom Jobe of the Surfers built the blower running at 28% overdrive. Hilborn injection sat up top. The car was run on 70% nitro and Ray was willing to tip the can if needed. The car weighed 2,200 lbs. and within weeks of being done he ran early times of 8.46/179.98. Ray was at Fontana on Jan 7 for an eight-car show. It was a hard show to get into as 42 cars attempted to qualify for the eight positions. Ray beat the "Whinemaker" in the first round, with an 8.11/180.72. In the semifinal, he ran an easy 9.08/146.57 when Marv Eldridge fouled. In the final, he was up against "Dyno" Don Nicholson. Ray ran an 8.52/178.21 for the runner-up money as Don's 8.08/172 took the win.

Notes: Ray was at the AHRA Winternationals Funny Car meet at Lions on January 28. It was a 32-car affair, and he qualified #10 with an 8.41/171.10. He advanced past the first round when the "Green Hornet" lost fire on the line. In the second round, a wheelstand slowed Ray to a 9.67, and he lost to Ed Schartman's 8.11. Ray then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. NHRA still did not have a Funny Car class, so he had to run in Super Eliminator. But his first-round 8.34/138.46 lost to Richard Galli's A/FD. He was at Lions again on February 24 when over 50 cars showed for the 16-car field at the Funny Car Spectacular. Unfortunately, a best of 8.48 failed to crack the 8.41 bump. Ray did better the next day (February 25) at Carlsbad for the South Coast Funny Car Championships. He beat Randy Walls in the first round, with an 8.32/172.74, but a second-round 8.35/180.36 lost to Jim Liberman's 7.84/183. On March 3, Irwindale held a 16-car show with 30 cars trying to qualify. Ray qualified #9 with an 8.32/174.41, putting him against the #1 qualifier in his first-round race. Alley improved to an 8.25 but still lost to Charlie Allen's 8.16. Ray ran at OCIR for a sixteen-car show on April 13, but he lost to Norm Cowdrey in the first round. On May 4, OCIR held its 1968 Funny Car team Championships. Ray again lost in the first round; this time, Gas Ronda's 8.09/178 beat him. He lost early at the Funny Car 500 at OCIR on June 1. Although he lost early at Irwindale on June 22, Ray set Low ET in qualifying at 7.96. A first-round 8.30/187.50 (Top Speed) lost to Randy Walls' holeshot 8.35/171. Ray ran 7.860/185.94 at Bristol 9/20/68 while winning the All American Funny Car Championships.

Notes: Ray started the season by qualifying #12 with an 8.06 at Irwindale's (40 cars showed) New Year's day race. He advanced past the first-round when Dick Harrell fouled, and an ailing 9.23/111.52 beat Clyde Morgan in the second round. Ray was unable to run in the semifinal and was replaced with the break rule in effect by Morgan again. At the AHRA Winternationals, he made it to the second round before getting beat by Danny Ongais in the M/T Mustang. He did much better on February 2 for the NHRA Winternationals, where forty cars again showed for sixteen spots. He qualified #4 with an 8.14/183.67 on a poor Pomona surface; only one car ran a seven in qualifying. A first-round 8.41 beat Art Ward (8.73), and he soloed in round two after Larry Reyes's crash in the Hawaiian kept him from returning for the second round. An 8.27/185.95 just nipped Rich Siroonian's 8.27/184.42 in John Mazmanian's Cuda in the semifinal. In the final, his 8.11/187 lost to Clare Sanders' 7.88/187 in Jim Liberman's second car. To show how good this early-hemi powered car was, on February 9, 35 cars showed up at OCIR for an eight-car show for the second All-Pro race, and Alley's 7.72/189.46 qualified #6. Pat Foster, Clare Sanders, Tom Grove, Randy Walls, Fred Goeske, and Steve Bovan were among the non-qualifiers. Ray failed to make the finals, but it was a good showing. Another runner-up finish came on February 22 at an eight-car show at Lions where Pat Foster in the M/T Mustang lost fire on the line against him in the first round, and in the semi's, he beat Randy Walls. A 7.70 by Siroonian in the final ended his bid for the title. At Bakersfield on March 2, he lost in the first round, to Tom McEwen's 7.78/196.93 to his 8.18/187.50. He then went to Riverside for the HRM Championships on March 16, where a 7.96 qualified #7. In the first round, he lost to Marv Eldridge in Clyde Morgan's Javelin. On March 22, Lions held an eight-car show, and 22 cars showed. It took an 8.19 or better to get in, and Alley failed to make the cut. At the final OCIR All-Pro on March 29, he qualified but fouled away a 7.70/190.64 in the first round, against Charlie Allen's 7.45/194. On April 26, Irwindale held a sixteen-car show where he advanced past the first round when AMX-1 broke on the line. In the second round, he got out of shape against Ongais (7.47/191) and shut off. OCIR held its second annual Manufacturer's Funny Car Open on May 3, and Alley qualified second on the Mopar team with a 7.85/191.08. In his first race, an 8.04/193.96 beat Larry Fullerton's 8.54/181, and the second win came with an 8.64/187.10 beating Clyde Morgan, but he fouled away a 7.70/192.30 in his third race against Randy Walls (8.11/182). In didn't do very well in the thin air at Thunder Road Dragway in Denver, Colorado, on May 25, losing to John Dekker's Assassination in three straight races. At the NHRA Springnationals, he qualified #4 with a 7.81/189.07. A first-round 7.98/180.00 beat Ed Schartman's ailing Cougar, and a second-round 7.91/180.80 beat Don Gay's 8.58. Ray fouled in the semifinal against Ongais (7.57). Alley was runner-up to Fritz Callier at Beeline when he got crossed up in the final. He ran on July 12 at Irwindale's Race with a Reason but lost to Dave Beebe's 7.54/195 to Alley's 7.93/184.82 in the first round. The following week (July 19), he qualified #10 at the PDA Championships with an 8.22, but he fouled away an 8.16 against Ongais' 7.58 in the first round. Irwindale held another sixteen-car show on August 16, and Alley made a good account of himself with a first-round 7.91/187.50 over Steve Bovan's 7.97/174 in the Mister T Camaro. He lost in the second round. The Drag News Nationals was held at Lions on August 30. Alley qualified, but an 8.40/135.55 lost to Ed Lenarth's 7.74/186 in the first round. He got back in on the break rule in the second round but ended up breaking on the line, advancing Jim Adolph. He ran a first-round 7.58 for Low ET on September 1 at an eight-car show at Irwindale but hurt some parts doing it and had to withdraw from making the semifinal. The following week (September 6), he set Top Speed at 189.87 at an eight-car show at OCIR. He qualified fifth with an 8.03, but not only did he foul in his first race, but he also lost a blower. Late in the year, on November 23, he ran at Irwindale's big 32-car show, and an 8.07/172.16 got past Jim Maybeck's 8.63 in the first round. A blown rear end put him out in the second round. He followed that up with a big win on November 29 over an eight-car field at Lions. A first-round 7.49/193.54 advanced when Gene Conway's Corvette caught fire on the line. Larry Reyes broke in the Hawaiian advancing Alley in the semifinal with an easy 9.57. In the final, Siroonian broke, giving Ray a free 7.57/199.55 victory. At OCIR for an eight-car show on December 6, 20 cars showed, and it took a 7.51 to qualify. Ray's 7.53/198.23 was only good for the first alternate. He did qualify on December 14 for an eight-car show at Irwindale when a 7.64 qualified #4. A first-round 7.54/189.86 beat Fred Goeske's 7.70/174, but in the semis, Reyes' 7.27/199 stopped his 7.74/194.98. It was a good season for Alley.

Notes: Stock stroke motor. | Best NHRA ET was 7.263/196.07. Also 194.38 at Seattle 8/22/70. | Ray was at Lions for an eight-car show on June 27. His 7.49/194.38 beat Andy Clary in the first round, but his 7.67 in the semifinal lost to Dave Beebe's 7.49. On July 3, he competed at the OCIR Nitro Championships. It was a sixteen-car field, and in the opening round of eliminations, his 7.53/191.08 beat John Lombardo's 7.86/185. Marv Eldridge fouled against him in round two, so Alley advanced with a 7.51/189.07. His next opponent, Mert Littlefield, shut down early and Ray's 7.66/177.86 went to the final. He faced Arnie Behling, who was behind the wheel of John Mazmanian's 'Cuda. The final wasn't very close as Behling set Low ET with a 7.25 at 200 to easily cover Alley's 7.95/191.89. The following day, he was at Irwindale for the Fourth of July Championships. This was only an eight-car show, but Alley qualified. An opening round 8.53/135.13 advanced when Don Hampton crossed the centerline, but the Duster broke in its semifinal match against eventual winner Behling. Ray got another runner-up finish at Lions on July 11 for the AHRA All-American race. In the first round, his quick-leaving 7.83/179.28 beat Steve Bovan's 7.76/188. He actually lost to Behling's 8.02/133 in the semifinals when he ran an off-pace 8.81/187.50, but Arnie's Cuda had blown a rear end, so Alley was reinstated for the final. There he ran against Roger Wolford, who was driving the "Mako Shark" Corvette. The two had a good race, but Roger's 7.61/176 got to the stripe first before Alley's 7.65/193.54. Yet another runner-up finish came at OCIR on July 25 for the PDA Championships. In the first round, Ed Lenarth lost fire, giving Alley a 7.71/185.56 solo. In the second round, Danny Ongais lost fire in the M/T Mustang. Ray ran 7.51/185.56 to advance. Once again, he needed a little "help" with the "break rule" as he lost his semifinal race to Gene Conway. Alley's 7.79/186.33 lost to Conway's 7.47/192.71. But in the other semifinal race, both Lombardo and Dave Condit were able to get their cars down the track due to breakage, so both were disqualified. Alley now had to rerun Conway in the final. This time Ray had troubles and shut off to 11.52/99.77 while Conway got the victory with a 7.65/181. He ventured to Kent, Washington, for the Seafair Nationals on July 31. He ran times of 7.85, 7.50, and 7.48/193.12 to reach the final. It was an all-Duster final as he faced Ed McCulloch. The two had a great race that saw Ed's 7.05/210 win over Ray's quicker 6.99/199.48. McCulloch also stopped him at the third NHRA Division 7 race held at Bakersfield on August 9. This time it came in the semifinals. A week later (August 15), he was at OCIR for its anniversary race. It was a sixteen-car field, and Alley's opening round 7.53/192.71 beat Condit's 7.70/196 in the "L. A. Hooker." But in round two, he fouled away a 7.49/192.71 against Eldridge.

Notes: Raced the Barracuda through mid year 1970 before converting to the Duster. Photo from 1969. | Ray Alley started the '70 season at Irwindale for their new year's day race. He qualified seventh with a 7.65, but got crossed-up in road one and lost to Johnny Wright. He qualified #1 with a 7.40 at the second OCIR All-Pro race on January 18, but broke in the first round. At Beeline, 52 cars attempted to qualify for the AHRA Winternationals. Alley was one of them who failed to make the show. At the third OCIR All-Pro on February 22, he failed to qualify. On March 14, OCIR held an eight-car Funny Car show. Alley was attempting to qualify, but he lost a couple of rods and was unable to run. At the final All-Pro race on March 28, Alley's 7.89/193.54 got him into the second round where he had to shut off on the line with an oil leak. On April 18 at OCIR, Ray's 7.48/198.23 beat Mike Snively's quicker 7.44/200.00 in round one, but lost to Gene Conway's 7.42/175 in the semis with a 7.74/191.08. At OCIR's Big Four Championships on May 2, he ran a 7.48/193.54 best before fouling in round three of the 32-car field. NHRA held its Division 7 points race at Irwindale on May 23 and Ray Alley made it all the way to the final before losing to Mike Snively. Back at OCIR on May 30 for the Funny Car 500, he ran a first-round 7.38/196.50, an easy 8.51/178 when Don Hampton fouled, and an out of shape, losing 7.90/191.89 in the semis. All these meets and times were done with the 'Cuda as I'm pretty sure he had the Duster at the Springnationals on June 14. - Ron Howard

Notes: Also had a plain enamel red paint job this year. |Ray Alley was racing for 25 years when the '71 season started. He was a very helpful person. In '70 his good friend Marv Eldridge was critically injured. Alley stepped up and ran Eldridge's Fiberglass Trends shop. He didn't have to be asked as he stepped in to help. Ask any racer of the time and I’m sure they would have a good story to recount about Ray. His '71 ride was a switch for him. He had always run Mopar bodied Funny Car's, but his new car was a Mustang sitting on a 118" wheelbase John Buttera chassis. It used a Halibrand rear with 5.41 gears and a Lenco two-speed transmission. A stock-stroke 426 Hemi used Howards rods and Arias pistons was used. The cam was also by Howards. A John Hovan built blower sat on a Cragar manifold. Up on top sat Enderle injection. The article in the November. '71 SS/FC magazine claimed that Ray had set track records at Irwindale and Seattle. It also went on to say that he had topped 212 with the car. Ray set Low ET at OCIR's March of Dimes event in June with a 6.88. He made it into the final of the eight-car show by winning his first-round race with a 6.91/205.71 to beat Bob Pickett's quicker 6.89/215. He ran his Low ET in the semifinals with his 6.88 at 208.81 beating Sush Matsubara's 7.08/214. In the final, he fell off to a 7.18/205.47 that finished runner-up to Dave Beebe's 6.90/216 in the "Mr. Ed" car.

Notes: On January 23, Ray was runner-up at the second OCIR All-Pro race. He beat Gary Burgin's 6.94/210 in the first round, with a 6.85/205.94. In the semifinals, a 6.85/209.79 beat Jake Johnston in Gene Snow's second car. An off-pace 7.28 in the final lost to Snow's track record 6.57. At the Bakersfield March Meet, he lost to Leroy Chadderton driving the "Hawaiian" in the first round. The "Hawaiian" got him again in the first round, at the final OCIR All-Pro race on March 25. On May 6, he was at OCIR's Big Four Championships. Bob Pickett fouled against him in the first round, but in round two, his engine exploded while running a winning 7.22/184.80. He won his race, but received minor burns and was unable to return for round three (32-car show). He was at Lions a couple of weeks later for the second annual Funny Car Festival. An opening round 7.15/192.71 beat Mert Littlefield, but he lost soon after. Alley was back at OCIR for the Hang Ten meet where his 7.05/189.47 in the first round, lost to Joe Lee's 6.95/209.
