Notes: Ran 7.05/200.01 at Detroit on 5/23/71. ND cites that round one time beat Al Vanderwoude but was not quick enough to advance to round two. | Bobby Rowe was at Miami in February for a best-of-three-match race again Tom Sneden driving the Bob Banning Challenger. In the first race of the match, Rowe's 7.11/205.01 beat Sneden's 7.21/206. Sneden set a track record in winning the second race when Rowe got out of shape and shut off. Bobby won the match in the third race with his 7.04/207.37, beating Sneden, who shut down. He was at LaPlace in Mid-March for a four-car show. He beat Pat Minick's 7.30/204 in the "Chi-Town Hustler" with a 7.25/203.61. In his second race, Rowe's 7.27/205.47 lost to Leroy Goldstein's 7.07/189 in the "Ramchargers" car. Bobby ran a solo 7.50 in his final race as Chris Karamesines' new Mustang broke. He then went to Tulsa, where he and Dick Rosberg, driving the "Fighting Irish" Camaro, took turns resetting the track record. Rowe started by setting it at 7.63, and then Rosberg lowered it to 7.59. Bobby came back to claim it again with a 7.56, but Rosberg took it back with a 7.49. At the NHRA Gatornationals, these two would qualify #4 and #5, with Rosberg getting the lower spot. Both ran 6.99. In the first round, Bobby's opponent, Casey Powell, crashed, and Rowe advanced. He also got an easy solo in round two after Larry Arnold blew his engine while winning his first-round race and was unable to appear. In the semifinals, Rowe's luck turned; he beat Mart Higginbotham with a 7.02, but his transmission let go, and he had a fire in the lights. He was unable to run Goldstein in the final. In April, the "Super Duster" was at National Trail for a best of three match race against Bruce Larson's USA #1 Camaro. In their first race, Rowe's 7.39/198.66 beat Larson's 7.57/191. Larson came back to tie it up at one apiece with his 7.36/202 beating Bobby's 7.51/191.88. Rowe notched the win in their final race by running a track record 7.17 at 200.44 to beat Larson at 7.50/184. Bobby qualified #8 at NHRA Springnationals at Dallas at 6.959/211.76. He beat a shutting-off Leroy Goldstein in round one, with a 7.19/205. The Super Duster could not start in round two, sending Kelly Brown forward. Bobby was driving the Hawaiian at Indy. |
