Notes: Eldridge's new Corvette was only out for its second week when he showed up with it at Irwindale on August 26 for an eight-car show. In the first round, his 8.46/175.78 beat Dee Keaton's 8.60/166. Gene Conway fouled against him in the semifinal, and Marv's 9.53/169.49 advanced. He faced yet another Corvette in the final. This one belonging to Ronnie Runyan. Marv was quicker and faster at 8.49/176.81, but he crossed the stripe second behind Runyan's quicker-leaving 8.65/159. On September 30, he was at Lions for an eight-car show, but he lost to Conway in the opening round. The following week (October 7), he was at OCIR for a best-of-three-match race against Charlie Allen's Dart. In their first race, Eldridge's 8.70/174 lost to Allen's 8.35/171. Charlie's car blew a head gasket in the second race, but his 8.70/122 still beat Marv's 8.99/178 to win the match. Late in the year (December 9), he was back at Lions for another eight-car show. In the opening round, his 8.72/167.91 lost to eventual winner Dick Loehr's 7.92/182. A few days later (December 10), Eldridge was at Irwindale. His 8.37/176.96 qualified #5 for the eight-car field. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Gene Ciambella in the "Destroyer" Jeep. Gene's 8.22/177 beat Marv's 8.54/173.74 in their race. OCIR held its final race of the '67 season on December 17. The FC's were progressing so quickly that Marv's still new Corvette failed to qualify for the eight-car show. His 8.27 was the first alternate. The photo appears to be the 1968 model. |
