Notes: Ken Safford took over driving after Denny Miliani was killed at Half Moon Bay. | Ken qualified at Pomona Winters 1967 at 7.458/208.80. Unfortunately, a first-round 7.55/205.94 lost to John Edmunds' 7.42/212. The qualifying list confirms it was in this car. That was the team's last NHRA national event of 1967. Ken was at Half Moon Bay on April 16 for a best-of-three-match race against Mike Snively driving the "Hawaiian.” Mike won the first race, but in losing, Safford reset the track speed record to 214.78. He also lost the second race and the match when his quicker 7.27/212.76 lost to Snively's 7.42/193. He was at Irwindale on April 29 for an eight-car show. A first-round 7.55/208.80 beat Steve Carbone's 7.75/198 in the "Atlas Oil Tool" car, and in the semifinals, Ken's 7.46/201.76 beat Dave Beebe's 7.64/206. This put him into the final against John Edmunds. The two had a good close race, with Safford winning with a 7.59/209.30 over Edmunds runner-up 7.60/219. The very next day, these two would meet again in the final at another eight-car show at Fresno with the same results. Safford reset the track record to 7.10. On May 13, he was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. He won his first-round match with a 7.27/205.46, but in the semifinals, his 7.34/211.26 lost to eventual winner Mike Sorokin's 7.14/205. |
