Notes: Herb was at Lakeland in October for a best-of-three match against Paul Blevins. Herb won the first race with a 9.10 over Paul's slightly quicker 9.09. But the Vega was able to win the next two races and the match with times of 9.05 and 9.01 over McCandless's 9.15 and 9.08. Herb's best speed was 149. McCandless also won over an eight-car field at Atco in November. It seems he had quite the advantage there as the car was running about 300 lbs light. Everyone else seemed to be running legal weight, and while Herb was running 8.5s, only one other car dipped into the eights. In the first round, Herb's 8.57/158.17 easily dumped John Healey's 9.19/148. He improved to 8.53/158.73 in the semi-final to drop Frank Russo's off-pace 10.26. He faced Richie Zul's big-block Camaro in the final. Zul had been the only other car in the eights, and he ran 8.98/150+ in the final, but that was still almost a half-second behind McCandless' winning 8.55/158.45. |
