  | Notes: Won Top Gas at Bakersfield for the second year in a row. | Gordon was at National Trail at July 12 for a match race against Tony Nancy. Gordon warmed up with an 8.63 which was good enough for a new gas dragster track record. The match race never came off as it rained and the race was cancelled. He was back at National Trail on July 26 making some runs and he reset the track record to 8.58/182.73. - Collett had the honor of claiming the first U.S. Nationals Top Gas title, a feat that earned him a brand-new ’64 Ford Mustang (as shown in the attached photo). Photo and info from NHRA.com, National Dragster photo.  Collett ran a time of 8.47/182.92, per a newspaper article about the win. JM |
