Notes: Jeff was runner-up to Jim Dunn at the Irwindale Grand Premiere. He qualified #12 for the sixteen-car field. In the opening round of eliminations, his 7.08 beat Sush Matsubara's off-pace 7.29. In round two, Mert Littlefield's 7.11 fell to Jeff's 7.07/194.80. He lost to Dunn's 6.91/193 in the semifinal with a 7.44/142.29. The final was supposed to be between Dunn and Butch Maas, who was driving the M/T Pontiac. But Maas blew his engine on his burnout for the final. Courtie replaced him and attempted to run Dunn in the final without the aid of a burnout. He went up in tire smoke while Dunn ran 6.92 for the victory. He failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. On March 10, he was at OCIR for an eight-car show. His 6.80 qualified #5. He shut down against John Lombardo in the first round, as the car was going into a wheelstand. The body flew off the car at about 150 and was wrecked. Jeff brought the chassis to a safe stop. Jeff traveled across the country to run at his only NHRA national event, the Springnationals in Columbus. He was the third alternate at 7.015/198.23. He drove a Cuda. Was it his car or a borrowed ride?
