Notes: Flipped & flew at OCIR. Ran 7.45 at Lions. Mike Gagnon information. | Pickett started the season on January 1 at Irwindale's New Year's Day Race. He qualified #9, but lost to low qualifier Tommy Grove in the first round. Bob ran 7.82/182.18 in the loss. Pickett was back at Irwindale on January 26 for an eight-car show. Unfortunately, he got crossed up in the first round and shut off, giving Ed Lenarth the win. He was at Lions on February 14 for another eight-car show that had 30 cars attempting to qualify. Bob made the show, but in the first round, took a little snooze when his quicker 7.35 lost to Tom McEwen's 7.41. Famoso had only seven funny cars show up, so making the eight-car field was easy. Pickett met Dave Beebe in the first round, and Beebe's 7.86/189 beat the Javelin's 7.88/182.40. On March 28, he competed at the final OCIR All Pro event. It was a sixteen-car field. In the first round, his 7.57/194.80 beat Steve Bovan, who blew a motor. In the second round, he got out of shape and lost to Mike Snively in Jim Annin's Challenger. He returned to OCIR on April 18 for an eight-car show. In the first round, an off pace 8.37/182.18 lost to Danny Ongais' 7.61/184 in Mickey Thompson's Mustang. The last event this car ever competed in was the Big Four Championships at OCIR on May 2. Bob ran 7.45/195.65 in the first round, while beating Ron Leslie's Cougar, but at the top end of the track, the Javelin became airborne. The car came down hard and was totally destroyed. Bob was taken to the hospital with a concussion and a broken back. Pocket was back in action seven months later with a new Barracuda funny car. National Dragster lists 7.25/201 best. |
