Notes: Raced the Barracuda through mid year 1970 before converting to the Duster. Photo from 1969. | Ray Alley started the '70 season at Irwindale for their new year's day race. He qualified seventh with a 7.65, but got crossed-up in road one and lost to Johnny Wright. He qualified #1 with a 7.40 at the second OCIR All-Pro race on January 18, but broke in the first round. At Beeline, 52 cars attempted to qualify for the AHRA Winternationals. Alley was one of them who failed to make the show. At the third OCIR All-Pro on February 22, he failed to qualify. On March 14, OCIR held an eight-car Funny Car show. Alley was attempting to qualify, but he lost a couple of rods and was unable to run. At the final All-Pro race on March 28, Alley's 7.89/193.54 got him into the second round where he had to shut off on the line with an oil leak. On April 18 at OCIR, Ray's 7.48/198.23 beat Mike Snively's quicker 7.44/200.00 in round one, but lost to Gene Conway's 7.42/175 in the semis with a 7.74/191.08. At OCIR's Big Four Championships on May 2, he ran a 7.48/193.54 best before fouling in round three of the 32-car field. NHRA held its Division 7 points race at Irwindale on May 23 and Ray Alley made it all the way to the final before losing to Mike Snively. Back at OCIR on May 30 for the Funny Car 500, he ran a first-round 7.38/196.50, an easy 8.51/178 when Don Hampton fouled, and an out of shape, losing 7.90/191.89 in the semis. All these meets and times were done with the 'Cuda as I'm pretty sure he had the Duster at the Springnationals on June 14. - Ron Howard |
