Notes: Tom failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, and at the NHRA Gatornationals, his best of 6.169/230.76 was good for the second alternate. He also missed the show at NHRA Atlanta, as his 6.197/212 grabbed the third alternate slot. Anderson won the NHRA Eastern Regional on May 17. In the final, he beat Rick Johnson with a 6.50/225.50 to Rick's quicker 6.47/217. At the NHRA Springnationals, a 6.244/223.32 qualified #12. He drove around a slight Mike Dunn holeshot in the "Hawaiian" in the first round, with a 6.371 (no speed) to 6.41/224, passing Mike by about 10 feet! In round two, he could not drive around another holeshot, as his 6.325/228.42 lost to eventual winner Craig Epperly's 6.357/227.84, a margin of about 8 feet! Tom was the second alternate at Englishtown with a 6.217/232.55. He qualified on the bump at Sanair at 6.229/231.36 but lost to Kenny Bernstein in round one, 6.09/243 to a 13-second shutoff. Tom also missed the field at Indy, finishing as the sixth alternate at 6.150/236.22. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the year.

Notes: Anderson was the full-time driver for Jim Wemett in 1982. He moonlighted as the interim Custom Body driver in midseason after Bobby Hilton's departure and before Paul Smith's tenure in the car. Anderson qualified the Custom Body #3 at the NHRA Summernationals with a 5.935 at 245.90 mph and defeated Ken Veney in round one, with a 6.341 to Veney's 6.362. He lost to Gary Burgin in round 2. - David Hapgood | Tom was also driving this car in August when he won the Englishtown Race of Champions event. A quick leaving 6.03 in the final beat Burgin's 5.97.

Notes: First funny car in the 5.70s at Indy 1982. This car was painted in Budweiser colors for Indy because Anderson made the first Big Bud Shootout and Bernstein didn't. Photo from the 1982 US Nationals. | Tom qualified #4 at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.04/231.95. He beat Bobby Hilton and Dale Pulde in the first two rounds before losing to eventual winner Frank Hawley's 6.11/234 in the "Chi-Town Hustler" with a 6.29/164.49 in the semifinals. A week later (June 20), the team was at Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals. Anderson’s 5.98 qualified #6 in the eight-car field. He beat Billy Meyer and Gary Burgin to reach the final against Pulde. In the final, Tom had traction problems and slowed to a 6.80 loss while Pulde grabbed the victory with a 6.04. The NHRA Grandnationals in Canada was another eight-car show and Tom qualified #7 with a 6.14/233.76. Unfortunately, he lost early in eliminations. |

Notes: Anderson started the season at Pomona driving Jim Wemett's Omni. He qualified #9 for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.06/233.76, but he lost to low qualifier Frank Hawley's 6.01/215 in the "Chi-Town Hustler" with a 6.23/216.34. He qualified #10 at the NHRA Gatornationals with a 6.12/237.46, but once again lost to Hawley in the first round. This time his 6.36/206.89 lost to Frank's 6.09/233. The teams next stop was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. Tom qualified for the eight-car field and lasted until the semifinals. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, a best of 6.18/230.17 failed to qualify for the eight-car show (second alternate). |

Notes: Tom set Low ET in qualifying #1 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.880/238.09. He had been driving the other Funny Car drivers nuts during qualifying. Anderson had run a 6.17/206.89 on Thursday, which was only second to Gary Burgin's 6.09/238. Then he came out Friday morning and ran his great 5.88/238. No one else was able to break into the "fives' until Frank Hawley finally ripped off a 5.97/241 late in qualifying. That was the only other car to run a "five" during Pomona's qualifying. He made it into the final by beating Tripp Shumake's 6.15/245 in the first round, with a 5.96/242.58. In the second round, a 6.11/242.58 beat John Force, and in the semifinals, he ran 5.97/236.84 to beat Gary Burgin's 6.18/234. Tom came up against the "Chi-Town Hustler" with Hawley behind the wheel in the final. Anderson ran a 6.02/241.28 that lost to Hawley's 5.93/249. At the NHRA Gatornationals, Anderson had a bad fire during qualifying. The team stripped the car down to the bare chassis and made repairs. He then went out and ran 6.01/240.69 to qualify #14. In round one, he ran a 6.04/239.36 to beat Don Prudhomme's 6.19/209. Burgin had problems and shut off in the second round, and Tom advanced with a 6.00/235.60. Unfortunately, he got out of shape in the semifinals and lost to Dale Pulde's tire-smoking 7.95. Atlanta held an eight-car show later in March, and Tom was there. He qualified #3 with a 6.37/177.16 and picked up to a 6.14/226.70 in the first round over Shirl Greer. He lost in the semifinals. A month later (April 17), he was back in Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. Once again, it was an eight-car field, and this time he qualified #5 with a 5.94/239.99. He lost to low qualifier John Lombardo in the first round, where he fouled and shut down to 8.95. Things didn't go very well at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. A best of only 6.39/170.13 failed to qualify for the eight-car show. The next stop was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Tom qualified #11 with a 6.07/206.89. An opening round 5.97/240.64 stopped Hawley's 6.03/235, but in round two, he slowed to a 6.29/243.24 that lost to Burgin's 6.26/233. Anderson followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the Grandnationals, where his 6.04/239.36 qualified #5. The problem is that qualifying fifth in an eight-car show means you had to run the low qualifier in the first round. Prudhomme qualified #1, and the "Snake" defeated him in the opening round. Considering the budget, these guys had compared to everyone else. This team was more than impressive. The NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown was a perfect example. With all the "high-dollar" sponsored cars around them, Tom's 5.91/244.56 qualified #3. Unfortunately, he smoked the tires and slowed to a 6.19 in the first round that lost to Kenny Bernstein's 5.85/249, but the team was able to qualify and run so well against much more heavily funded teams was noticed by all. Anderson went to Denver for the NHRA Mile-High Nationals at the end of July. It was an eight-car field; his 6.14/230.76 qualified #6. He cut a great light in the first round that saw his 6.11/238.72 hold off Ken Veney's quicker 6.08/221. In the semifinal, a 6.16/220.58 beat John Force's 6.40/193. He went up against Hawley in the final. Frank was the only Funny Car here that had run in the "fives." Anderson hoped for the best, but his 6.34/177.51 lost to the "Hustler's" Low ET and Top Speed setting 5.91/244 in the final. Hawley continued to upstage the team at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. Tom's 5.91/237.46 qualified second to Frank's 5.86/247. In round one, Paul Smith broke, so Tom made an easy solo. But in round two, his troubled,8.19 lost to Mike Dunn's 6.25 in the "Hawaiian." Tom's best times of the year happened at Indy at 5.829/249.30, and a runner-up to Kenny Bernstein.

Notes: Vern ran the first "six" in South Dakota history during qualifying for the third NHRA Division 5 race held at Thunder Valley at Marion, SD, on June 28. His 6.98 led the eight-car field in qualifying. He improved to 6.95/192.30 to beat Brian Budd in the first round, but in the semifinals, he lost a motor and the race when his slowing 7.37 fell to John Wiebe’s 6.82. On July 26, Vern Anderson won NHRA's Division 5 Points race at Donnybrooke International with Low ET and Top Speed coming in the final when his 6.85/223.32 single took the win when Denny Darraugh failed to fire. He also qualified for the NHRA Supernationals with a 6.88, which was good for the #24 spot in the 32-car field. He beat Jim Davis in the first round with a 6.89/213 before losing in round two. | Best NHRA national event times were 6.631/226.13 at the World Finals. |

Notes: Rick Howard photo from Edgewater Raceway Park, Cincy, OH-1971. Jim Nicoll no longer owned the mid-engined AA/FD he built, but the car still carried his name in order to satisfy previously contracted appearance obligations. Vern Anderson won the 1971 IHRA US Open Championships at Rockingham by defeating Dale Funk in the final with a 6.54/222.22. Minnesota teams up with Texas! Ran 6.631/219.51 at Indy, 7.06/214.28 at the World Finals at Amarillo. |

Notes: Owner (not driver) Jerry Hehn's unfortunate and untimely demise in his rocket dragster "American Dream" pretty much defines "freak accident." Though given the failure of every safety device that might have prevented this April 20/1977 death, the word "accident" probably deserves to remain in quotation marks. Hehn and Vern Anderson, the car's driver for years, had permission to use a Peewaukee, Wis. gravel pit to troubleshoot their rocket car, which had been passing unburned fuel during recent runs at a Buffalo, NY, drag strip. Owner Hehn was strapped into the cockpit while they test-fired the rocket several times. Brakes set, they fired the engine again, but the throttle of the 3,500-pound thrust motor stayed open, hurtling the car 450 feet into a large rock, then burying it four feet deep in a pile of gravel. Hehn was dead at the scene. Newspaper accounts said two emergency cutoff switches in the cockpit failed to function. The speed at impact was estimated at 140 mph. - RT |

Notes: Owner killed mid-April 1977 while testing engine in a gravel pit in Pewaukee, Wis. (a Milwaukee suburb). Anderson, normally the driver, was present. Owner Hehn was in the cockpit as they tried to sort out some problems with the propulsion unit. The "throttle" apparently stuck and the car hurtled into a wall of gravel at an estimated 140 mph, killing Hehn. The car was subsequently sold to funny car driver-turned-rocketman Fred Goeske. - RT |
