Notes: Larry raced at all NHRA national events (except the World Finals) in 1969. He ran 7.71 at Pomona, 7.77 at Dallas, 7.58 at Indy, with best of 196.07 at Indy. Cliff Smith drove Larry Bowers' car to a runner-up finish at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Larry was driving the car at the Bakersfield March Meet, but he fouled against Bill Dunlap in the opening round. On May 10, he was at OCIR for an eight-car show, but he failed to beat the 7.73 "bump." Lions held another eight-car show at the end of the month. Bowers ran 7.60 to qualify #3. A 7.91 at only 143.08 advanced over George Cerny in the first round. In the semifinal, his 7.56/192.30 lost to eventual winner Jack Jones' 7.49/193. At Dallas for the NHRA Springnationals, he qualified #14 with a 7.77/191.06. Unfortunately, he blew the crankshaft right out of the engine and could not run in eliminations. On July 27, he was at Carlsbad for the NHRA Division 7 race. He reset the NHRA TG record with a 7.49 in qualifying. He went on to win, stopping Bob Noice in the final. Shortly after that (August 2), he was at OCIR for an eight-car show. His 7.76 qualified #3, but he fouled away an even better 7.63/193.54 in the first round against Tom Toler. The NHRA Nationals had a 32-car field, and Bowers ran well. He qualified #3 with a 7.58/196.07. A 7.68/194.80 beat Steve Malise's 7.90 in the first round. In round two, he defeated Dick Rosberg with a 7.71/191.08. He fouled away a 7.60/193.96 against Noice in the third round. |
