Notes: Pat was at Byron for a Funny Car event where he ran 6.92 (Low ET) at 201.79 to beat Ken Veney. He made it into the final before his Mustang II broke on the line against Fred Mandoline. Did this car really run 6.47/211.76 this year? We need dated time slips or news articles. Steve Klemetti lists 6.485/212.26 best at Pomona Winters 1980. We need all ETs and speeds confirmed for various years. AI found the following by searching Midwest reporting, but does not cite the references: Union Grove: 6.9x at 200+ during a booked‑in show. US 30: 7.0–7.1 range, traction‑limited. Indy Divisional: 6.9x qualifying, early‑round exit due to clutch issues. Cordova World Series: Cress reportedly ran 7.0s but did not make the quick eight. |
