Notes: Allen started his season at Irwindale's Grand Premiere in January. His 6.51 qualified #7 in the sixteen-car field. He improved to 6.37 in round one, to beat Dwight Salisbury's 6.71, but in round two, he was a little late off the line, and his 6.52 was beaten by Don Moody's 6.53. He went to Pomona for the rain-delayed (twice) NHRA Winternationals. Traction was not there as his 7.145/221.67 qualified #19 in the 32-car field. Unfortunately, he lost to Steve Carbone in the first round, 6.81/222 to 7.140/208.33. At the Bakersfield March Meet, he qualified #23, but he had to shut down with a bad magneto in the first round. Jeb was in Seattle in April for the Northwest Open. He ran well, going 6.31 in round one, and 6.16/238.09 (Top Speed) in round two over Herm Petersen. In the semifinals, he beat Gaines Markley with a 6.15. He faced Don Moody in the final. Don had set Low ET at 6.13, so the final was close. Allen's final round 6.31/233.16 finished runner-up to Moody's 6.28. Shortly after this, he won the Las Vegas Open. It was an eight-car field, and Jeb beat a tire-smoking Dave Russell in the semifinals with a 6.64. In the final, his 6.51/222.22 (Top Speed) beat Dwight Salisbury's 6.56 for the victory. In June, Allen was at Englishtown for a best-of-three match race against Clayton Harris. Jeb reset both ends of the track record in his first race over Clayton, running 6.16/240.64. He went on to win the match three straight with runs of 6.29/234.98 and a shutoff 7.10/209.79 when Harris fouled. He had an interesting outing at the NHRA Springnationals. There he qualified #12 with a 6.471/227.84. He beat Dale Funk's 6.62/222 in the first round, with a 6.495/220.58, and in round two, it seemed as if Jeb was on his way into the semifinals when he got the win light with a 6.706/221 (231?) over Marvin Schwartz's 6.790. But after their race, Marvin claimed that he had won, so a local TV station was filming the race by chance, and they reviewed it. Sure enough, Schwartz had led Allen through the beams, and he was awarded the win. Allen was at Maple Grove for the third NHRA Division One race near the end of June. He set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.28/231.95. His 6.73/152.80 advanced when Grant Stoms fouled in the opening round. But he failed to show on time for his semifinal race against Flip Schofield. On July 1st, he was in Denver, Colorado, for the Olympia National Open. It was an eight-car show, and in round one, his 6.84/209 advanced when Chip Woodall broke a fuel pump. But in the semifinals, his 7.04/161.29 fell to eventual winner Dan Richins' 6.77/194. At the NHRA Summernationals, he qualified #2 with a 6.149/237.86 behind Bill Wigginton's 6.03/238 in the "Candies and Hughes" car. A first-round 6.309/222.77 beat Tom Raley's 6.66, but he smoked the tires in round two and lost to Schwartz. Jeb qualified #3 at NHRA Grand National Molson with a 6.312 (no speed recorded). In round one, he beat Terry Capp, 6.428/203.61 to 6.50/208, and beat a fouling Wigginton in round two (no times for either racer). Then it was Jeb's turn to foul in the final, handing the win to Pat Dakin at 6.29/226. John Wiebe hit Jeb at National Challenge 73, and both cars wrecked. He suffered burns on his hands. Jeb ran 6.338 at Tulsa National Challenge 73. |
