Notes: Did Warren run this quick in 1964, or is this the confirmed 7.75 from AHRA Beeline in 1965? | James was at Lions on January 26 for an eight-car show. He qualified #3 with an 8.19/182.18, but he fouled away an 8.41/181.08 in the first round. Fresno held an interesting race on February 23. Warren unloaded off the trailer and ran 7.94/189.47. Four cars had run sevens in qualifying, and these four all ran together in a race on the dual lane track. Jeep Hampshire won over the other three cars with a 7.85/192 while Warren came in second with a 7.89/189.06. James reeled off another 7.78/189.47 in qualifying for the #2 spot in the field. He advanced past the first round with a 7.97/179.09. He raced Jeep in the second round and his 7.94/179 beat Hampshire's 7.98/193. The team didn't win, but everyone was sure they were there. He showed up at Lions again on March 15 for another eight-car show. James qualified #4 with an 8.34, but picked up to an 8.18/169.81 in his first-round win. A second round 7.97 (Low ET) at 182.54 beat an ailing Jim Ward. In the final, he met Earl Canavan. Earl's Lincoln broke, and Warren took the win with an 8.43/132.54. He was back there (Lions) again on March 28 using an 8.37 to qualify, but he failed to reach the finals. The UDRA held a Fuel Meet at Lions on May 17. Warren ended up the big winner over a strong field of Chryslers. He qualified #2 with an 8.09. He made it past the first two rounds easily, but then had a close race with Dave McKenzie in the semifinal. James's 8.20/187.10 beat Dave's 8.27/189. In the final, he met Paul Sutherland in the "Charger." Warren almost got a Low ET in the final with his 7.95/188.28, beating Paul's off-pace 8.64/188. He found himself in another final round on May 31 at Pomona for a sixteen-car show. He ran 8.13/186.32 in the first round, and an 8.11/187.50 advanced past round two when Rick Stewart fouled. In the semifinals, an 8.00/188.66 beat Mike Snively's 8.21/182. In the final, he met Sutherland's Low ET setting car, and he jumped the gun, fouling away an 8.10/187.50 and leaving Paul's 8.14/193 to go on for the win. Warren got a runner-up finish at the UDRA Fuel Meet at Lions on June 14. He qualified #4 with an 8.34, but picked up the pace with an 8.27/181.44 first-round win. In round two, he caught Lefty Mudersbach napping and won with an 8.30/178.92 to Lefty's 8.10/185. In the final, the Chevy broke, and Tom McEwen singled for the win. James was running really good at the NHRA Division 7 race at Fremont on July 19. In the first round, he ran a 7.85/183.28 over Wayne King, and he soloed in the semifinals when Chuck Griffith broke. In the finals, he was up against Jack Williams, and he fouled away another 7.85/175.60 while Jack motored on for the win with an 8.07/178. Pomona held an eight-car show on July 26. An 8.17/185.18 qualified Warren #5. In the first round, he ran an 8.20/191.08 that beat Jerry Baltes' quicker 8.10/185. He ran an easy 8.41/138.67 in the semifinals when Bill Alexander fouled away a 7.97/191. In the final, Warren didn't want to take any chances and foul, so he was late against McEwen, and it cost him the win. His 8.09/184.80 lost to Tom's 8.11/190.
