Notes: Brown started his season at Miami-Hollywood in January for a sixteen-car show. He qualified #9, which set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Paul Smith, who was driving the "Fireball Vega." Smith reset the track ET record while beating Brown in their opening round race. Cliff was at Rockingham on May 6 for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. It was an easy field to make, as his 10.13 qualified him for #13. In the first round, he lost a supercharger and the race to Jim Paoli. In June, he was in Atlanta for the Funny Car Invitational. It was a sixteen-car show, and in the first round, Cliff ran a 7.08 to beat Shirl Greer's 7.22 in Billy Holt's new Vega. In round two, he lost another supercharger but still won when Frank Oglesby broke a reverser. The race was then halted by rain. Cliff used a stock stroke hemi to achieve consistent success.
