Notes: Don qualified #29 at NHRA Pomona at 7.110/213.27. He lost to Gary Cochran in round one, 6.892/202.70 to 7.488/217.91. That was his only NHRA national event of the year (Dick Boufgesous drove his Corvette FC at Pomona). Sixty-six Top Fuel cars showed up at Fremont on February 15 for the Northern Nationals sixteen-car field. Don qualified, but he blew a rear end in the opening round and lost to eventual winner Steve Carbone. The following week (February 22), he was at OCIR for the third All-Pro race. It took a 6.86 just to qualify for the eight-car field. Cook made the show, and his 7.16/182.18 advanced over a fouling John Wiebe in the first round. He caught a good light in the semifinal, and his 6.83/192.71 held off Jim Dunn's quicker 6.77/204. He faced Gary Cochran in the final, and Cook was forced to shut off with an oil leak. He did not race at the Bakersfield March Meet, choosing to compete at the Lions AHRA Grand American race run the same weekend (March 8). In the opening round, his 6.93 advanced, but an ailing 7.61 in round two lost to Don Garlits' 6.65. Near the end of March, he returned to OCIR for its final All-Pro race. Don failed to qualify for the sixteen-car field but got in as an alternate for Kelly Brown, who broke. In round one, an off-pace 8.24 lost to low qualifier Norm Wilcox's 6.74/189. -- RH | Cook demolished his dragster while racing Chris Karamesines at Union Grove, Wis. on July 5, 1970. -- RT |
