Notes: Animal Jim's legendary Mercury Zephyr Pro Stock was built by Chassis Craft (Greg Kaplin & Woody Mays) in 1979. This was the car that made Animal Jim a major match race star. From 1979 to 1990, it ran in every sanction, circuit, and mode possible. Originally, it was powered by small block Clevelands, but then from 1981/83 it ran "legal" Nitrous small block Pro Stock, which was sponsored by NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems, Inc.) This combination was considered "Unlimited" and ran with Mountain Motored cars. | Feurer started his season at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals in January. He qualified #2 with an 8.21, just behind Tom Chelbana's 8.20. These two would meet in the final." Animal Jim" ran 8.28/167.91 and 8.26/166 to beat Tony Rizzo and Benny Flowers. In the final, the car got out of shape, and his 8.64 finished runner-up to Chelbana's 8.25. In May, he was at Tulsa for the AHRA Springnationals. Once again, he qualified #2, but this time it was behind Chuck Aronson. It was these two who would make up the final round. Feurer ran 8.28/168.22 and 8.39/167.59 to reach the final. But Aronson's former Glidden Fairmont got the victory with an 8.18/169 over Jim's 8.48/166.66. Jim qualified #1 at the AHRA Gateway Nationals in St. Louis on June 6 with an 8.11/171.11. An opening round 8.14/168.23 beat Dan Bruckner, while a semifinal 8.20/166.98 beat Leroy Roeder. A final round 8.13/169.50 got the victory over Gary Duckworth's 8.38/163.
