Notes: Santos started his season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His 5.94/229.76 qualified #10. In round one, his 5.92/229.53 beat Darryl Hitchman's 5.91/232. He slowed to 6.16/224.88 in round two, but it was still enough to win as Jim Rizzoli had transmission problems. His semifinal opponent, Tim Capaldi, also had problems as the car broke a rear end, and Rick advanced with a 6.07/225.67. In the final, he faced John Shoemaker, and Santos' 6.27/223.38 finished runner-up to John's 6.15/225. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, Santos ran 8.83/226.81 to qualify second behind Brooks Brown's 5.77/233. Michael Gorr fouled against him in the opening round, and his 5.90/231.18 advanced. Another 5.90 at 229.76 beat Mark Taliaferro's 6.11/228 in round two but an off-pace 8.62/108.66 fell to the eventual winner Jay Payne's 5.91/235 in the semifinals. Santos did not race at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals or Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. He won the NHRA Division Six opener held at Firebird Raceway in April. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 for the eight-car field with a 5.95/225.62. A solo 5.97/224.10 advanced over a broken Bob Haffner in round one, and another 5.97 at 225.96 beat Shoemaker's 6.13/224 in the semifinal. In the final, he ran 5.99/224.10 for the win over Payne's 6.03/229. It was an emotional victory at Rick's brother Steve, who had died of heart failure just days before this race. Another win came on May 15 at the NHRA Division Seven race at Bakersfield. Once again, he qualified #1, this time with a 5.88/228.65. Santos set Low ET in the opening round with a 5.84/214.74 that dropped Steve Faria's 6.07/205. In the semifinal, he ran another 5.84 at 231.06 to beat Russ Conroy's 5.96/231. He faced Bobby Taylor in the final, and a 5.89/230.06 easily beat Bobby's 6.01/232. In early August, he scored a big win at Seattle for the NHRA Northwest Nationals. There he qualified #3 with a 5.85/229.00. In round one, Jeremy Torstveit's 5.94/225 fell to his 5.85/228.42. A 5.87/226.87 stopped Taylor's 5.94/231 in round two, and a 5.84/226.98 took out Bill Barney's 5.93/234 in the semifinal. In the final, he faced low qualifier Shaun Hyland, and Rick caught a good light, and his 5.93/227.56 held on to win over Hyland's slightly better 5.91/229. He skipped over going to Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals, but he was at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. A 5.83/228.77 qualified #2. Rick set Low ET of the meet in the first round, where his 5.80/230.53 beat Jay Meyer's 5.94/232. The little Chevy stayed strong in round two, where he ran 5.82/229.12 to put Hyland's 5.86/233 on the trailer. Unfortunately, he had difficulties in the semifinal, and the car fell off to 7.15/161.60 in a loss to Tom Conway's 6.09/224. Photo from the 1994 NHRA US Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park.
