Notes: Set 221.55 national record at Amarillo on 5/85. Was that run altitude factored? | Brian started the '85 season at Firebird Raceway for the NHRA Division 6 Opener. He qualified #2 in the eight-car field with a 6.49/212.76. Another 6.49 at 209.30 advanced when John Shoemaker fouled, but still another 6.49 at 211.26 lost to Dennis Lucas' 6.47/212 in the semifinals. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, his 6.42/207.27 qualified #3 in the sixteen-car show. He slowed to an off-pace 6.62/172.87 in the first round, which he lost to Alan Deboer's 6.47/211. | At the NHRA Quaker State Northstar Nationals in Brainerd, Raymer qualified #2 for the 8-car field with a 6.443/213.27. He defeated #6 qualifier Dennis Forcelle in round 1 with Low ET 6.368/216.86 to Forcelle's losing 6.454/212.76. He defeated #8 qualifier Don Woosley in the semis 6.419/217.39 to Woosley's losing 6.455/215.82 & #3 qualifier Bill Walsh in the Final with a 6.396/218.44 setting Top Speed of the meet to Walsh's losing 6.450/216.34. Raymer then went to the US Nationals, where he qualified #5 with a 6.441/215.20. He defeated #13 qualifier Jay Payne in round 1, 6.473/214.79 to 6.621/209.20 & in a rematch of the Northstars final, faced #1 qualifier Bill Walsh in round 2. Unfortunately for Raymer, the result would not be the same as Raymer's 6.605/211.16 was no match for the eventual winner, Walsh's 6.423/214.89.
