Notes: Karp was in New England in May for its Potpourri Nationals. His 7.38/193.97 qualified #4 in the eight-car field, but he hurt some parts and could not run in competition. He failed to qualify at Maple Grove for the Dutch Classic but got into the show as an alternate. Unfortunately, he lost to Dale Hall in the opening round. He competed at the 1st annual Night of Thrills race at Englishtown. There were twelve cars there, and all were to make two runs, with the two Low ET cars running in the final. Arnie set Top Speed in the first round, where his 7.32/199.11 defeated Bruce Pillar's 7.27/191. But once again, he had engine trouble and could not return for round two. Arnie qualified #30 at Indy with a 6.96 (need detailed times). He upset a broken Chuck Rearick in round one at 7.00/197.80. He ran a consistent 7.02/198.23 in round two but lost to Bill Wallace's 6.81/203. Confirmed 199.11 at Englishtown, but a for sale ad at the end of the year cited 6.96/200. Photo from 1977. |
