Notes: Armstrong's new Satellite appeared without paint at the IHRA World Nationals in the first week of May. It was an eight-car show, and in the opening round, his 6.92/205.82 beat Ed Renck's 7.30/157. Another 6.92/205.82 in the semifinal advanced when Wilfred Boutilier broke. He faced Dave Settles in the final, and Dale ran his third 6.92 (at 202.19) to win over Settles' 7.01. The following week, he took it to Sacramento, where he beat Lou Gasparelli in the final and set Low ET and Top Speed at 6.57/213. Dale qualified #1 at Beech Bend for the NHRA Sportsnationals with a 6.77 (Low ET). He then ran 6.83/204.54 to beat Jeg Coughlin's 7.03/196 in the first round, followed by a 6.81 over Settles, who lost an engine in round two. A strong 6.79/205.47 beat Ken Veney's 6.99/203 in the semifinals. This moved him into the final against Boutilier. The two had a close race, but Armstrong's 6.83/204.08 got the victory over Boutilier's 6.86/203. Dale also ran 6.57 at 213 and a confirmed 212 in November 1976, along with the 6.47. | A '76 PHR Yearbook showed Armstrong at Beech Bend experimenting with a polished, box-type Crower. - Joe Moore | The 213 at Sacto was 213.82 (5-8-76 Drag News). Ran a 6.47 @ OCIR late in the year (11-12-76 National Dragster). - Dennis Doubleday |
