Notes: Ray was at the AHRA Winternationals Funny Car meet at Lions on January 28. It was a 32-car affair, and he qualified #10 with an 8.41/171.10. He advanced past the first round when the "Green Hornet" lost fire on the line. In the second round, a wheelstand slowed Ray to a 9.67, and he lost to Ed Schartman's 8.11. Ray then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. NHRA still did not have a Funny Car class, so he had to run in Super Eliminator. But his first-round 8.34/138.46 lost to Richard Galli's A/FD. He was at Lions again on February 24 when over 50 cars showed for the 16-car field at the Funny Car Spectacular. Unfortunately, a best of 8.48 failed to crack the 8.41 bump. Ray did better the next day (February 25) at Carlsbad for the South Coast Funny Car Championships. He beat Randy Walls in the first round, with an 8.32/172.74, but a second-round 8.35/180.36 lost to Jim Liberman's 7.84/183. On March 3, Irwindale held a 16-car show with 30 cars trying to qualify. Ray qualified #9 with an 8.32/174.41, putting him against the #1 qualifier in his first-round race. Alley improved to an 8.25 but still lost to Charlie Allen's 8.16. Ray ran at OCIR for a sixteen-car show on April 13, but he lost to Norm Cowdrey in the first round. On May 4, OCIR held its 1968 Funny Car team Championships. Ray again lost in the first round; this time, Gas Ronda's 8.09/178 beat him. He lost early at the Funny Car 500 at OCIR on June 1. Although he lost early at Irwindale on June 22, Ray set Low ET in qualifying at 7.96. A first-round 8.30/187.50 (Top Speed) lost to Randy Walls' holeshot 8.35/171. Ray ran 7.860/185.94 at Bristol 9/20/68 while winning the All American Funny Car Championships. |
