Notes: Rick qualified #6 at Pomona at 6.824/199.55. He beat Don Prudhomme in round one, 7.16/204.08 to 7.69/146.57. He lost to Carl Olson in round two, 6.92/211.24 to 7.06/208.81. Rick was runner-up at Bakersfield 1971 to Don Garlits. He lost on a holeshot, Don's 6.71/223 mph to Rick's quicker 6.64/224. At the Dallas Springnatinoals, Rick qualified #24 at 6.751/208.33. He won round one over a fouling Mike Snively, 8.24/115.83 to 11.14/59.52, but fouled himself against Jim Nicoll and lost in round two, 8.20-96.77 to Rick's 7.29/148.27. Rick set a 6.51 national record at Fremont, CA, on 6/26/71. The team qualified #10 at Indy at 6.504/208.33 but fouled against Tom Kaiser in round one, tossing out an excellent 6.51. Rick qualified #32 at the Ontario Supernationals at 6.938/174.41. He improved in round one but still lost to Ted Thomas, 6.72/213.77 to Rick's 6.77/161.57. Rick ran 6.41/229.59 at OCIR (Chuck Johnson provided a photo of the record jacket), winning a side by sider against Don Prudhomme at 6.41/234.98. Also, set a 6.61 OCIR track record earlier in the year. | Chuck Johnson on the records: The following is the extent of my personal record keeping on the matter. I don't remember the dates, but this was just before Garlits ran the first offset axle at Indy. The resulting 6.21 run picked up .2 seconds on the rest of the quick cars in the country. The California Chargers had recently set the National Record in Fremont and held it for a whole two weeks before Garlits set yet another new record. - AKA the California Charger - JM |
