Notes: Craig was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, and he had famed engine builder Amos Satterlee turning the wrenches. The team qualified #6 with a 6.049/242.58. Unfortunately, Craig fell off to a 6.303/240.64 in the first round, losing to Doc Halladay's 6.024/238.72. At the NHRA Gatornationals, the team qualified #7 with a 6.092/241.28. Again, they lost in round one, when a 6.422/227.84 failed to hold back Tim Grose's 6.263/231.95. NHRA held its Division 6 Opener at OCIR on March 28, and Epperly set Low ET at 6.03 before fouling in the final against John Force. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, Craig ran 6.093/236.22 to qualify #6 in the eight-car field. After qualifying, the team headed back to California to do repairs. They never made it back to Atlanta for eliminations. Craig began driving for Joe Pisano in May, but returned to the seat of the HB Gold car at the OCIR Manufacturers Meet late in the year (Al Segrini drove for Joe Pisano there). Some details from Joe Moore. Lightweight, direct-drive match racer, former John Force car. | At the last nitro points race at OCIR in March '82, Force won over Epperly in an all-Citation final. - Joe Moore
