Notes: This was a leased deal for Beswick after he suffered a fire at his shop to fill out dates he had already booked. Arnie was contacted by a team that was having a lot of problems trying to run their Challenger FC. It was using the best parts money could buy, but the guys couldn't get it to run well. Even with Arnie's help, the team blew up just about everything, so eventually they sold out to Beswick for next to nothing. Arnie worked on it and it came around, turning some decent numbers, but the car's short career came to an end at Maple Grove. While running Gene Snow in a match race, the car flipped at the top end of the track and was totally destroyed. Arnie was fine; in fact, he jumped into his Pontiac Funny Car for a race the next day.
