Notes: Correnti qualified at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals with a 6.05 at 242. Unfortunately, he lost in the first round. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, his 5.97/246.98 qualified #11 and a tire-smoking 6.39/223.99 advanced over Rick Johnson, who was having his own problems in the "Hawaiian." But in round two, he sheared a fuel pump, advancing Don Prudhomme. On May 19, Alamo Dragway held the NHRA Division 4 race, which also featured eight-car Pro fields. A 6.59/223.88 qualified #6 and in the opening round, his 6.31/233.16 advanced when alternate Don Sosenka crossed the centerline. In the semifinals, John Martin smoked the tires against him, and Ron's 6.30/232.55 moved into the final. There he faced low qualifier, John Force. Force had been running 5.9s with ease here, and his final round 6.00/236 got the victory over Correnti's early shutoff pass of 6.45/191.48. The following week, he was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. During qualifying, his engine failed, and the car became a fireball. He had made the field (#11) on an earlier 5.907/250.69 pass, so the crew worked hard to get the car fixed for eliminations. In the first round, opponent Billy Meyer crossed the centerline and was disqualified, so Ron moved on with a 6.57/243.90. In round two, his 5.96/242.06 took out John Collins' 6.06/221, but a semifinal 6.00/248.20 lost to eventual winner Jim Head's 5.93/245. Ron was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #15 with a 6.03/246.84, but he fouled against Prudhomme in the first round. At the end of June, the team showed up in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals with a new T-Bird body on the car. |
