Notes: Ran 7.21 at Sanair Drag Strip 8/75. Ran 7.061 to qualify 25th at 75 US Nats. Car was former "Bob's Drag Chutes" top fueler.rnThe team's finest hour with the Purple Haze II was the WCS meet at Cayuga Dragway in Cayuga, Ontario. They had low qualifier, winner of Pro Comp, and recipient of the "Best Appearing Car" award! The team was riding high for a long time after that.rnBack at the Grandnationals in Montreal, the team again made a good run to qualify for the field. Unfortunately, a piece of the mallory metal that was used to balance the crank broke loose and exited through the oil pan, also dinging up the engine's bottom end. This is as close as the team ever came to actually "blowing an engine." They were able to fix the pan and clean out the other shrapnel, but decided against trying to make a hard run with an unbalanced crankshaft, so withdrew on Sunday morning.rnShortly after this, the reality hit that we simply could not afford the price of being truly competitive on a national NHRA level. - Doug Gordon webpage |
