Notes: Rick was driving for Crossley on March 20 for an eight-car show at Irwindale. He qualified #4 with a 7.73 and ran 7.61/203.16 and 7.64/203.16 in the semifinals over Mike Snively in the "Hawaiian." In the final, his 7.75/208.32 (Top Speed) finished runner-up to Dave Beebe's 7.54/205. He was runner-up again, this time at a sixteen-car show at Irwindale on April 23. Stewart qualified #3 with a 7.79 and ran a first-round 7.80/212.26 over Dave McKenzie. An 8.39/137.63 advanced past the second round when the Wilton and Doss car lost fire. In the semifinals, he was sharp on the lights as his 7.71/213.28 (Top Speed) beat Snively's quicker 7.58/206 in the "Hawaiian." Unfortunately, the car lost fire in the final giving Jim Dunn an easy 8.73 victory. The following day (April 24), he was at Pomona for a Pro Fuel Circuit race. It was a sixteen-car show and he lasted until round two where his off-pace 8.21 lost to eventual winner Tom McEwen's 7.75. Stewart was at Irwindale on May 7 for an eight-car show. He set Top Speed with a 7.99/213.28 in qualifying. It was good enough for the #8 spot in the field. He picked up to 7.84/179.64 in the first round, but it wasn't enough as Dunn's 7.63/209 beat him. A week later (May 14), he returned to Irwindale for another eight-car show. A 7.81 qualified #4. In the first round, he was sharp on the 'tree as his 7.85/203.60 beat Zane Schubert's quicker 7.72/209. But in the semifinals, "Fireman" Jim stopped him again. Dunn's 7.68/204 beat Stewart's 7.83/205.00. At the HRM Championships at Riverside, Rick used a 7.62/209.30 to qualify #12 in the 32-car field. He lasted until round two when McEwen stopped him with a 7.43/195 to his 7.69/207.84. On June 25, Rick was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. He qualified #4 with a 7.65. In the first round, Stewart's 7.69/210.76 beat Ron Goodsell's 7.78/200 in the "Imperial." Rick had a little nap on the line in the semifinals with his 7.73/205.00 losing to Danny Ongais' 7.81/200. |
