Notes: On January 12, sixteen cars vied for eights spots at Irwindale; Jim qualified #1 and ran a 7.40/201.34 over Wayne King's 8.20/190.66 in the first round, but lost a supercharger and was out for the rest of the day. He qualified eleventh at the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.09/213.77. A first-round 7.12/212.76 beat Ron Manke. In the second round, he improved to a 7.00/214.80 over Ken Safford's 7.22/211.76. In round three, a 6.97 beat Gerry Glenn, but his 7.08/215.82 lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.93/217 in the semifinal. He failed to qualify on February 9 at OCIR for the second All-Pro race, where 35 top fuelers tried to get into the eight-car show. He took a big win on March 2 at the Bakersfield March Meet. A 7.10/214.28 beat a fouling Stan Shiroma in the first round, followed by a holeshot win over Ron Rivero when his 6.99/220.58 beat Ron's 6.98/215. He got back at Prudhomme for his semifinal loss at Pomona by beating Don in the third round, both ran 6.93, but Dunn's slower 210 speed beat the Snake's charging 218. Jim ran even quicker in the semifinal with a 6.87/221.67 that beat Larry Dixon. In the final, a 6.94/215.82 beat Dave Babler's 7.00/214 for the win. A 7.04 qualified #13 at the HRM Championships at Riverside on March 16. He lost power and the race to Norm Wilcox's 7.43/194 in the first round. He was at Lions for an eight-car show on April 12, but his best of 6.97/224.42 failed to qualify. He qualified for a sixteen-car show at OCIR on May 17, but he fouled in the first round, after running over his crewman, Joe Medina. After Jim's burnout for his first-round match with Leland Kolb, Joe pulled the dragster back to the starting line. Joe lost his footing, and the right rear slick ran him over. When Jim was asked if Medina was OK, Jim stated, "Hell Ya, Gave him a beer, and he was OK." Irwindale hosted the NHRA Division 7 race on May 24. It was a sixteen-car show, and 25 cars failed to qualify (the good ol' days!) Jim qualified well and, in the first round, a 7.14 advanced, but he lost in the second round. At the NHRA Springnationals at Dallas on June 15, Dunn used a strong 6.75/214.79 to qualify #4. A first-round 6.86/216.86 beat Dixon. Tommy Larkin fouled against him in the second round, and he cooled it to a 9.72 for the win. In the third round, Dwight Salisbury also overstaged and fouled, but Jim ripped to a 6.77/218.97 win. In the semifinals, he ran another strong 6.90/189.87 but lost to Hank Westmoreland's 6.80/210. Irwindale held its Fourth of July race, and Jim qualified #7 in the eight-car field with a 6.98. Unfortunately, he lost in the first round. On August 17, he won the Division 7 race at Bonneville Raceway with a final round 7.21/201.27 over Al Pehrson. At the US Nationals, a 6.60/221.20 qualified sixth. But in the first round, he fouled against Butch Maas. Won Division 7 in 1969. Jim also ran 6.753/214.97 at Dallas International Motor Speedway NHRA 1969.

Notes: Jim debuted his new, low buck 'Cuda at Irwindale on November 14. It was a 32-car show, and Jim's early Hemi-powered car won the event while setting a 6.80 track record. He got to the winner’s circle by advancing past a fouling Don Hampton in the first round, with a 6.96/184.80. In round two, his 6.95/194.80 beat Mike Snively in Jim Annin's Challenger and in round three, he soloed with a 7.17/160.14 when Dave Condit in the "L. A. Hooker was unable to run. A semifinal 7.25/155.97 beat Dale Pulde in Dick Bourgeois' Javelin. Then in the final, he let it all hang out and won the event with a 6.80/197.80 over a broken Larry Arnold in the "Kingfish." At Ontario Motor Speedway for the NHRA Supernationals on November 22, Dunn qualified number two (to Prudhomme's 7.044/200) with a 7.045/194.38. A first-round 7.28/167 beat Larry Reyes' troubled 10.08 in the "Super Duster." In the second round, he beat Snively, but in the semifinals, he smoked the tires to a 7.50/165.36 that lost to the eventual winner Gene Snow's 6.97/211. | Best NHRA time was 6.996.

Confirmed 6.77 at OCIR Manufacturer's Meet in 71, which was runner-up to Foster's 6.72, and were the two quickest runs of that event. - ND | Jim had one of his best season's in '71 driving his low budget 'Cuda. It started at Irwindale on January 1 for the New Year's Funny Car Festival. He qualified #1 with a 6.99/180.72. He ran a first-round 6.96 to beat Don Schumacher's tire smoking 8.20. He went on to win over Tom McEwen and set Low ET at 6.80. The next day he was at Fremont for the New Year's Day Funny Car Championships. A first-round 8.36/182.92 lost to Jim Liberman's 8.25/187.88. He took another win at the first OCIR All-Pro race. A first-round 7.08/186.33 beat Rich Siroonian in John Mazmanian's Cuda, and he advanced past the semifinals when Stan Shiroma fouled.

Lions hosted the first AHRA Grand American on January 10 and Dunn ran 6.75 in qualifying among the "unseeded" cars. In the first round, he beat Tom Prock's tire smoking Vega with a 6.92/171.10. He picked up to a 6.74/191.89 in the second round while beating Richard Tharp's 6.84/215 in the "Blue Max." In the semifinals, Jim got out of shape and shut off, giving Shiroma an easy run into the final. Jim lost in the first round, to Prudhomme at the second OCIR All-Pro race on January 24. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals on February 7, he qualified #10 with a 7.22 at only 183. Unfortunately, he broke in the first round, against Snow. At the third OCIR All-Pro event on February 13, he had an interesting day. In the opening round, Prudhomme’s 6.82/223 beat him when he shut off to 10.71/82.79. He got back in on the "break rule" when Shiroma broke a rear end. In the semifinals, Jim’s 7.14/194.38 lost to Rich Siroonian's engine blowing 6.87/221. Once again, he was placed, but into the field as Rich was unable to return for the final. Once again, he faced Prudhomme. He ran a sub-par 7.23/147.78 in the final that lost to the "Snake's" sizzling 6.62/226. He grabbed another win at the Bakersfield March Meet on March 8. He beat Fred Goeske, Shiroma, and Bob Pickett, in that order, to face Dave Condit in the "L. A. Hooker" Maverick in the final. Jim took the victory with a 6.99/212.26 over Dave's 7.17/204. OCIR held an eight-car show in March and Jim beat Gary Burgin's Camaro in the first round, with a 7.03/187, but he broke and was unable to run in the semifinals so Burgin was reinstated. At OCIR's final All-Pro race on March 27, Dunn ran 7.34/164.23 over Mert Littlefield in round one, a second round 7.28/187.11 advanced when Mike Thermos fouled. In the semifinals, Condit left before the tree was activated so Jim took it easy with an 8.62/143.76 to meet with Snow in the final. But once again, the 'Cuda broke and Gene singled for the win. In April, he was runner-up to Gordon Mineo at Irwindale where he had earlier set Low ET at 7.18. On April 24, Lions held an eight-car show. Dunn qualified #2 with a 6.99. A first-round 7.08/158.45 beat Leroy Hales' 7.42/198 while a semifinal 6.92/194.80 beat Shiroma's 7.00/208. In the final, he ran 6.96 for the win over Bob McFarland's 7.65.

He was back at Irwindale on May 31 for the Memorial Day Championships. Unfortunately, he fouled against low qualifier Sush Matsubara in the first round. Jim shut off to 7.54. At Dallas for the NHRA Springnationals, Jim qualified #11 in the tough show, but he lost to Snow in the opening round. Dunn took a win the easy way on June 27 at Fremont for the NHRA's second Division 7 race. He qualified #1 with a 6.96 and in the first round, he ran a solo 7.20 to advance. In the semifinals, Tim Grose broke against him, and he soloed again. This put Jim into the final against Tom Ferraro, driving John Hoven's Mustang. Tom broke just off the line and Jim soloed again for the win with a 6.94/196.50 (Low ET). The following week (July 3), he was at OCIR for the Nitro Championships. Things didn't go so well as he lost to Norm Wilcox driving the "Atlas Oil Tool" car in the first round. He made up for his early loss by going to Irwindale the following day and winning the Independence Day Championships. It was an eight-car field and Jim started his march to victory by beating Nathan Valdez in the first round, with a 7.22/178.21. A semifinal 7.04/186.72 beat Beebe and in the final, his 7.08/197.36 scored the win over Matsubara's 7.23/205. Later that month, he was at Lions for a sixteen-car show. He lost in the semifinals, when his 6.91 fell to eventual winner Shiroma, who beat him with a 6.79.

Notes: Jim's 6.98 failed to qualify for the eight-car field at OCIR's second All-Pro race, but he got in after Pat Foster had problems. A first-round 6.91/186.72 lost to Jake Johnston's 6.87/215. He was awarded best engineered at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified on the bump at 7.154/198.42 and defeated Charlie Therwhanger in the first round with a 7.21 but lost to Jake Johnston in round two, 6.94 to 7.08. Jim ran 6.798/205.94 at the Tulsa PRA race. Set Bonneville's track record at 6.85, then reset that in the final with a win over Bob Pickett in Pete's Lil' Demon (but ET unknown). He qualified 5th at 6.464/213.27 at Ontario 1972, then ran as quick as 6.440/214.28 on his way to winning the race in an upset over Pat Foster in the Barry Setzer Vega. These were Jim's best times of the year. Ran 6.63/213.27 at OCIR Manufacturer's Meet. Qualified at final OCIR WCS points meet with a 6.67 on the last qualifying pass. Jim qualified #7 at 6.59 at the Lions Last Drag Race on December 2. He beat John Lombardo in round one, 6.54 to 7.47, then took out Sush Matsubara in round two, 6.54 to 6.74. In the semis, Jim ran into eventual winner Tom McEwen, who ran an excellent 6.40 to defeat Jim's consistent 6.64. Without question, the most successful rear-engine funny in drag racing history was "Big Jim" Dunn's Cuda. This was the only one that ran a six-second time and the only one to win a national event, the 1972 NHRA Supernationals. The car featured a trick Woody Gilmore chassis with Dunn & Reath's 392 Chrysler Hemi for power. Jim and the car were the primary subject of the movie Funny Car Summer in 1972. Dunn has mentioned that this car was very difficult to drive and seldom made a complete pass. Jim's best time was an impressive 6.440 - more than half a second quicker than the next rear-engine funny car. The car was replaced by a new Satellite in 1974. It now resides in Western Canada.

Notes: Jim started his season at Irwindale's Grand Premiere race. It was a sixteen-car field, and his 6.97 qualified #6. He improved to 6.92 in the first round to beat Stan Bowman's out-of-shape Vega, and in round two, his 6.91/210.28 defeated a tire-smoking Gene Snow at 7.20/143. Another 6.91 at 193.96 beat Jeff Courtie's off-pace 7.44/142 in the semifinals. He was supposed to run Butch Maas, driving M/T's new Grand Am, but Mass blew an engine on the burnout. Courtie was back in the show as the "break rule" was in effect, and the two lined up again. Dunn once again got the win, running a 6.92/200.89 for the victory over Courtie, who smoked the tires heavily and shut off. Shortly after that, he was at OCIR for the second All-Pro race. This was an eight-car show, and his 6.78 qualified #4. But he was upset in the first round, where he had to shut off with problems while his opponent, John Collins, advanced at 7.14. He then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. The race was held over by rain over three weekends. In the first qualifying session held on February 3, Dunn's 7.80/198.67 got him the #14 spot in the sixteen-car field. But by February 18, his time had been bumped back, as now he was the third alternate. He almost got into the show, as the first two alternates got in when Jim Liberman and Dick Rosberg could not stay after the rain delay. He also had an interesting outing at the Irwindale Night Opener. It was an eight-car show, and after dealing with the horrible track conditions at Pomona, it was good to be back on a track with some "bite." Well, it just so happened that Irwindale had Bill Fredrick's rocket -car there, and the car ended up dumping a load of rocket fuel all over the left lane, making it useless. In the first round, Bobby Rowe fouled against Jim. He took an easy ride and then lost lane choice for his semifinal race against Bill Leavitt. Dunn slipped and slid all over his lane in their race while Leavitt advanced with an 8.21. With February ending so badly, you would think March was much better. It didn't start that way, as Dunn failed to qualify for the sixteen-car field at the Bakersfield March Meet. He wasn't even the first alternate, as Tommy Grove had that honor and got into the show when Jim Adolph broke. After failing to qualify at a couple more shows, he earned the pole at the final OCIR All-Pro race with a 6.65 (Low ET). His 7.07/200.89 beat Jim Murphy in the opening round, but he lost to Dave Uyehara in the next round. Dunn won the second NHRA Division 7 race at Irwindale in June. He ran 6.80/212.76 in the opening round to defeat low qualifier Dave Beebe's 6.72/219. In the semifinal, Rick Ramsey's 7.17/191 lost to Dunn's 6.78/210.77. He saved his best time for the final, where he ran 6.72/215.82 for the win over Gerry Glenn. On June 16, he was back at OCIR for its Lions Championships. It was an eight-car show and his 7.28 qualified #7. He went up in smoke in round one and lost to Mike Van Sant's 7.13 in the "Stone, Woods and Cook" car. Shortly after that (June 30), he was at OCIR for its Nitromethane Championships. This was a sixteen-car field, and in round one, his tire-smoking 7.75/153.06 lost to Joe Lee's 7.29/191. He also lost in the first round at Irwindale's Forth of July Championships. His 7.10/143.56 lost to Gary Densham's 6.71/223. He was back at OCIR on July 22 for the PDA Championships, but his opening round 7.12/187.50 lost to Mert Littlefield's 6.77/215. Jim competed at the AHRA National Challenge, where his 6.72/204.54 qualified #16 in the 32-car field. He was upset in the opening round when Pickett ran 6.73 to beat Jim's 6.86. Jim got a win at Fremont in October for the AHRA World Championships. He qualified #13 with a 6.63, but in the first round, he improved to 6.50 to beat Tom McEwen. In round two, a 6.53 took out Tom Hoover, but he lost in the semifinals to Ed McCulloch. Dunn's 6.77 lost to Ed's slower 6.93, but McCulloch lost an engine and could not repair it in time for the final. With the "break rule" in effect, Jim was brought back to face Gerry Glenn in the final. Jim ran 6.61/215.82 for the victory over Glenn's 6.77/204. He then went to Irwindale for the East-West Funny Car Championships and lost to Richard Tharp, driving the "Blue Max" in the first round. This was a rear-engined funny car. Jim qualified at NHRA Ontario at 6.478/203.61. In round one, he ran 6.53/207.37 to beat Gene Snow's close 6.58/192.71 but fell to eventual winner Tom McEwen in round two, 6.50/204 to 6.77/187.50.

Notes: Fire photo (by John Shanks) included due to different appearance of this car, and to show it as highly likely Diedrich drove the car in 1973. Caption accompanying photo states “ During recent action at Orange County International Raceway, photographer John Shanks caught this spectacular shot of Mike Diedrich's Funny in flames after he lost his motor in the lights. Fortunately, Diedrich was unhurt.” However, knowing the long lead times and the use of photos to fill space, it is possible this was 1972, as it has been written that Diedrich “retired” at the end of 1972. Can anyone confirm? JM

Notes: After being in the back seat for the previous two seasons with his rear-engined Funny Car, Jim Dunn had Woody Gilmore of Race Car Engineering build him a conventional car for the '74 season. The old car tended not to go straight. The new 116" chassis was fitted with a 426 Hemi with a Reath 1/2 stroker crank that gave it a 484 displacement. The cam came from Engle. Sush Matsubara O-ringed, surfaced, and polished the heads. Ed Pink also helped out on much of the engine. The top end of the motor used a Cragar blower drive and manifold, and Marc Danekas of Air Research modified the GMC 6/71 blower. Enderle injection sat up top. A Lenco transmission transmitted the power back to a Ford rear with 4.30 gears. Mr. Ed supplied the body. The overall weight of the Satellite was 1,790 lbs. | Jim debuted his new Satellite at the Irwindale Grand Premiere on January 12. He qualified #10 in the sixteen-car field, and in round one, his 7.14/206.47 beat Gerry Glenn who got out of shape in the Plueger and Gyger Mustang. Unfortunately, Jim's Satellite broke on the run, and he was done for the day. Replaced rear-engine FC. Photo from the 1974 NHRA US Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park. Jim ran 6.480/221.67 at Indy US Nationals 9/74 (#13 qualifier), 6.50/221.13 at Irwindale, and 6.426/212.76 at Ontario.

Notes: Jim ran at the Fremont New Year's Day Funny Car race. He advanced past the first round with a 6.98/182 when Gene Snow's Vega broke. A second-round 6.66/200.89 advanced again when Ed McCulloch broke, but he lost in the semifinal. He then went to Irwindale for the Grand Premiere and qualified fourth. He beat Liberman in round two with a 6.48/221.13 and a 6.46 in the semis, beat a tire-smoking Raymond Beadle. In the final, he faced Don Prudhomme, who dropped a 6.32 to put him on the trailer. At the AHRA Winternationals, he lasted until the second round when his motor came up ailing against Shirl Greer (6.66/223.32). Jim just made the field at the NHRA Winternationals when he ran a 6.45 for the sixteenth spot. He lost to Charlie Therwhanger in the second round. His next stop was at Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet. It was a twelve-car show, and his 6.41/222.77 qualified #6. Unfortunately, he boiled the hides to a 7.11/199.28 in the first round and lost to John Lombardo's 6.63/191. Shortly after that, he was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. He broke against Neil Leffler driving Jim Terry's Mustang in the first round. In March, he was at OCIR for the AHRA Grand American West. He qualified #7 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.78. A first-round 6.71 beat Henry Harrison. A 7.08 in the second round beat Leffler, but he broke and could not run in the semifinal, so Leffler was reinstated. Irwindale held its 32-car Coca-Cola Championships in April, and Jim ran 6.80/187.11 to beat Jeff Courtie's 6.92, but in round two, he had problems and shut down against Dale Pulde in the "Eastern Raider." He runner-upped again in May at the Fremont Northern Nationals, where McCulloch's 6.27/224 got Jim in the final. Dunn was back at Irwindale for the Doubleheader (motorcycles and FCs). He warmed up with 6.59/175. Leffler fouled against him in the first round, and he coasted through. In the semifinals, his 6.57 (Low ET) at 210.77 beat Gary Burgin's 6.76/208. He faced Jake Johnston in the "Pisano and Matsubara" Vega in the final, and despite running a strong 6.67/220.58, he finished runner-up to Jake's 6.57/223. In June, he raced at Sacramento for the NHRA Division 7 race. A 7.20 advanced past a fouling Billy Meyer in the first round, but he broke against Gary Burgin in the semis. He raced at the OCIR Nitro Championships but failed to reach the finals. Times and information from National Dragster, 4/09/76. | In May 1975, at a 32 Funny Car race at Puyallup Raceway, Dunn was r/u to Prudhomme's Monza. - Joe Moore

Notes: Dunn ran the old Satellite the first half of the year. He ran it at the Northwest National Open WCS, but this car debuted brand new, in grey primer, at the June round-robin Funny Car meet, still putting on hose clamps. Jim holeshot Nick Harmon hazing off the line in the first round, 6.97 to 6.95. New at the June SIR Funny Car event, arrived shortly before 6 pm eliminations. Doner said the Dunns drove 24 hours straight from California to get there in time. I didn't know their GMC Suburban going to get the car was a Diesel and thought something was wrong with the engine. - Joe Moore | Jim qualified 6th at the Fallnationals with a 6.890 and won the first-round when Dennis Geisler didn't show. But Jim crossed the centerline against Dale Pulde in the second round and was disqualified. That was his only NHRA national event of the year.
