Notes: Alexander ran really well at Irwindale on May 23 for the NHRA Division 7 race. He ran an easy 8.30/146.57 in the first round, when Ron Hampshire fouled against him. His 6.90/200.00 beat a tire-smoking Dwight Salisbury in round two, and a semifinal 6.99/219.50 took out James Warren, who shut down early. In the final, he faced Jim Davis, and Bill got a little over-anxious and fouled. The following week (May 31), he was at Fremont for an eight-car show. His 6.86 qualified #3. Dennis Baca fouled against him in the first round, and he advanced easily, but a blown rear end took him out in his semifinal race against Bob Hightower. Bill was at OCIR on July 25 for the 32-car show PDA Championships. He advanced past the first-round with a 6.93/217.91, and he only needed a 9.34 in the second round when opponent Frank Bradley fouled. In the third round, his 6.80/221.67 lost to eventual winner Steve Carbone's 6.75/223. At the NHRA Supernationals, Bill qualified #15 in the 32-car field with a 6.836. He lasted until round three, where he smoked the tires to a 7.02 that lost to Gerry Glenn's 6.92. Bill's best NHRA national event times were 6.743/212.76 at the NHRA Supernationals at Ontario. | Per Steve Reyes: Being confined to a wheelchair didn't stop Bill Wishart from achieving his dream of owning an AA/FD. With the help of chassis builder Pete Ogden and engine builder/crew chief Bob Sbarboro they made it happen for Wishart. A gunshot wound to his back when he was a kid, put Bill in a wheelchair for life. Never did he lose his dream of owning a race car...Bill made it happen. - JM |
