Notes: Ran 8.97 at Maple Grove, 9.13 at Pomona, 9.083, 9.20 at Columbus, 9.17 at Englishtown, 9.12 at Indy. | Scott had one of the strongest Pro Stock Vegas in '74. At Pomona, he had one of the three Vegas that qualified. His 9.19/149.50 put him in the #12 spot for the show. In the first round, he beat Ken Dondero's 9.31/148 in Don Nicholson's second Pinto with a 9.18/150.75. He beat "Dyno" himself in round two, where his 9.13/149.25 stopped Nicholson's 9.24/146. In the semifinals, he came up against his third straight Pinto of eliminations. This one was the "Gapp and Roush" car with Wayne Gapp behind the wheel. Scott fell off to 9.22/144.92, and it wasn't enough to beat Gapp's 9.00/150. At the NHRA Gatornationals, it was the "Gapp and Roush" team that stopped Scott again. This time, it was Jack Roush behind the wheel when the two met in the second round. Jack's 8.97/152 put the little Vega's 9.083/149.50 on the trailer. That was Scott's best NHRA national event ET for the year. He won the Cecil National Open with a final round 9.04 over Frank Iaconio. Shafiroff was back at Cecil County in April for the Spring Pro Stock Championships, and while he didn't win, he did run a strong 9.03/151.54 in the first round. On May 5, he was at Green Valley Raceway for the AHRA Grand American Nationals. He was the quickest Chevy qualifier with a 9.02 (#3), but he lost early. Another win came on May 11 at Maple Grove's Dutch Classic. He qualified #1 and then beat Al Joniec in round one, with a 9.03/149.50. In the semifinals, he dropped into the eights with an 8.98 at only 143.34 to beat Dondero, who was now driving for Bill Jenkins. In the final, he was up against the big-block Camaro of Richie Zul. Scott got the holeshot and held on to win. The following week, Zul got some payback when he beat Shafiroff in the final at the NHRA Division 1 race at Cayuga, Ontario. At the NHRA Springnationals, a 9.20/149.50 qualified #6, and he advanced past a broken Sonny Bryant in round one, with a 9.25/148.27. Unfortunately, he fouled against eventual winner Bob Glidden in round two and slowed to 9.61/146.10. He won over a sixteen-car field at Maple Grove's All-American Pro-Series race. Everyone was there. Scott won his first-round race with a 9.12 when Zul had his throttle stick open on his burnout. In the second round, he beat Herb McCandless and, in the semifinals, he got to the finish line first when both he and Gapp ran 9.10. He beat Dick Landy in the final for the title. On June 22, he was back at Maple Grove for the NHRA Division 1 race. Scott qualified #3, but advanced to the final against Zul. Shafiroff's final round 9.15/148.76 lost to Richie's 9.08/149. The next NHRA event was the Summernationals at Englishtown. Scott qualified #13 with a 9.15. In the first round, he faced Jenkins' new driver, Larry Lombardo. Scott was down on power here as his 9.17/148.51 lost to Lombardo's 9.07/150. Like most of the Pro Stock cars that were at Englishtown, Scott made the trip to Maryland International for the second annual Pro Stock Open. He qualified #6 and lasted until round two, where he broke against Glidden. Shortly after that, he was at Cecil County for an eight-car Pro Stock show. In round one, he had a close race against Nicholson that saw his 9.06/150 beat "Dyno's" 9.07/148. In the semifinals, he got a great start and his 9.07/150 beat Zul's quicker 9.02/151. This put him into the final against Gapp. Scott ran another good 9.04, but he lost to Gapp's 8.98. He did not follow the NHRA tour to Canada for the Grandnationals. | We need to confirm the 8.90 best time for 1974. |
