Notes: Set both ends of the record at the start of NHRA National Record certification: Atco, NJ, 7/13/60 at 9.066/168.85.; He regularly raced at York U.S. 30-almost weekly except for occasional forays elsewhere. At York, on June 4, he turned 8.95 at 169.00 mph. The following week at York, he took Top Eliminator at 169.811 mph with a national record time of 8.84. This accomplishment and beating Tommy Ivo at a match race at York on July 3 with a time of 8.87 at 169.00 mph brought him a measure of national recognition. Minnesota Dragways paid him to appear to race against Bruce Norman and the Big Wheel dragster on July 31. A week later, at Petersburg Airport in Virginia, Tucci was racing the A/Comp Austin Bantam coupe of the Lickliter Brothers. Tucci took the win, but things went awry with his opponent's vehicle behind him. A clutch explosion started several things happening that resulted in the coupe being unable to steer or stop. It plowed into the rear of Tucci's slowing car. Tucci suffered severe spinal injuries, paralyzing him from the waist down. Although confined to a wheelchair, Bilbow built another dragster that he drove with Tucci serving as his crew chief. At the end of the year, they took the new dragster on a West Coast barnstorming tour. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB

Notes: Ran on alcohol. The US Nationals at Oklahoma City was a gas-only event, and Heath was way out of the running, only able to coax 105 mph out of his dragster. It was a far cry from the previous year when he won the title. Photo: "Drag Racing Hero's: Dragsters" website - MB

Notes: Carl qualified #16 at the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.20/214.79. In the first round, an off-pace 7.37 lost to Connie Kalitta's 7.13 in his Boss 429-powered car. He did have the satisfaction of setting Top Speed at 225.00. On February 29, he and 34 others showed up at OCIR for the second All-Pro event. With only eight spots up for grabs, the qualifying was hectic, and Carl failed to make the show. He ran a 7.07 to qualify #15 at the HRM Championships at Riverside on March 16. But a first-round 7.35/222.22 was no match for Hank Clark's 6.99/220. On June 7, the team was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. Twelve cars attempted to make the field, and Olson qualified #1 with a 7.01/216.34. In round one, he beat Glen Woolsey's 7.18/205 with a 7.02/220.58 (Top Speed of the meet). In the semifinals, Olson ran Low ET with a 6.99 at 217.38 to beat Tommy Allen. This put him into the final against Chuck Griffith in the Ford-powered "Starlite" dragster. Carl smoked the tires while Chuck got the win with a 7.16/220. He raced at an eight-car show at Irwindale on September 13. The team had just switched to a 426 Hemi. A 7.06 qualified fifth, but he improved to a 7.02/220.58 in the first round to beat low qualifier Dwight Salisbury's 7.10/197. In the semifinal, a 6.95/216.34 beat a shutting-off Norm Wilcox. In the final, a 6.96/222.22 defeated Frank Pedregon's 7.21/210.; Photo: Drag Racing Hero's: Dragsters website - MB

Notes: The car was built in 1968 to replace the scary Dart. Snow's first Logghe car. I think this started with a B&M Torqueflite, but by the end of summer, it had a Crowerglide and began running 200 mph. I know this car ran in the 7's; we need to check the best time. The 205 at OCIR was at the Mfg. Meet, so it is accurate. - Bill McLauchlan | On August 17, at Houston, Snow hit 200.88 for the first 200 MPH funny. At Wichita, 202.70 was the new mark. In October at Irwindale, a 196.50 was good enough for a new track record. - Ron Howard 7.65 at San Antonio in Dart or Charger? - Danny White; Photo: Hemmings Muscle Machines (Sep. 2007): p. 33 - MB

Notes: Markert established the NHRA record for C/D (138.24 mph) at Atco, NJ, in July '60, a record that would stand for years. | Photo at Sanford, Maine.; Markert wouldn't install injectors until 1961, so he ran carburetors in 1959/60. And his Berkshire Beetle II dragster dates to 1962/63, not 1961. His engine was a '53 DeSoto. He won the C/D class at the Nationals at Detroit Dragway with 11.16 at 131.94 mph.
