Notes: After being in the back seat for the previous two seasons with his rear-engined Funny Car, Jim Dunn had Woody Gilmore of Race Car Engineering build him a conventional car for the '74 season. The old car tended not to go straight. The new 116" chassis was fitted with a 426 Hemi with a Reath 1/2 stroker crank that gave it a 484 displacement. The cam came from Engle. Sush Matsubara O-ringed, surfaced, and polished the heads. Ed Pink also helped out on much of the engine. The top end of the motor used a Cragar blower drive and manifold, and Marc Danekas of Air Research modified the GMC 6/71 blower. Enderle injection sat up top. A Lenco transmission transmitted the power back to a Ford rear with 4.30 gears. Mr. Ed supplied the body. The overall weight of the Satellite was 1,790 lbs. | Jim debuted his new Satellite at the Irwindale Grand Premiere on January 12. He qualified #10 in the sixteen-car field, and in round one, his 7.14/206.47 beat Gerry Glenn who got out of shape in the Plueger and Gyger Mustang. Unfortunately, Jim's Satellite broke on the run, and he was done for the day. Replaced rear-engine FC. Photo from the 1974 NHRA US Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park. Jim ran 6.480/221.67 at Indy US Nationals 9/74 (#13 qualifier), 6.50/221.13 at Irwindale, and 6.426/212.76 at Ontario.

Notes: Jim ran at the Fremont New Year's Day Funny Car race. He advanced past the first round with a 6.98/182 when Gene Snow's Vega broke. A second-round 6.66/200.89 advanced again when Ed McCulloch broke, but he lost in the semifinal. He then went to Irwindale for the Grand Premiere and qualified fourth. He beat Liberman in round two with a 6.48/221.13 and a 6.46 in the semis, beat a tire-smoking Raymond Beadle. In the final, he faced Don Prudhomme, who dropped a 6.32 to put him on the trailer. At the AHRA Winternationals, he lasted until the second round when his motor came up ailing against Shirl Greer (6.66/223.32). Jim just made the field at the NHRA Winternationals when he ran a 6.45 for the sixteenth spot. He lost to Charlie Therwhanger in the second round. His next stop was at Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet. It was a twelve-car show, and his 6.41/222.77 qualified #6. Unfortunately, he boiled the hides to a 7.11/199.28 in the first round and lost to John Lombardo's 6.63/191. Shortly after that, he was at Irwindale for an eight-car show. He broke against Neil Leffler driving Jim Terry's Mustang in the first round. In March, he was at OCIR for the AHRA Grand American West. He qualified #7 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.78. A first-round 6.71 beat Henry Harrison. A 7.08 in the second round beat Leffler, but he broke and could not run in the semifinal, so Leffler was reinstated. Irwindale held its 32-car Coca-Cola Championships in April, and Jim ran 6.80/187.11 to beat Jeff Courtie's 6.92, but in round two, he had problems and shut down against Dale Pulde in the "Eastern Raider." He runner-upped again in May at the Fremont Northern Nationals, where McCulloch's 6.27/224 got Jim in the final. Dunn was back at Irwindale for the Doubleheader (motorcycles and FCs). He warmed up with 6.59/175. Leffler fouled against him in the first round, and he coasted through. In the semifinals, his 6.57 (Low ET) at 210.77 beat Gary Burgin's 6.76/208. He faced Jake Johnston in the "Pisano and Matsubara" Vega in the final, and despite running a strong 6.67/220.58, he finished runner-up to Jake's 6.57/223. In June, he raced at Sacramento for the NHRA Division 7 race. A 7.20 advanced past a fouling Billy Meyer in the first round, but he broke against Gary Burgin in the semis. He raced at the OCIR Nitro Championships but failed to reach the finals. Times and information from National Dragster, 4/09/76. | In May 1975, at a 32 Funny Car race at Puyallup Raceway, Dunn was r/u to Prudhomme's Monza. - Joe Moore

Notes: Dunn ran the old Satellite the first half of the year. He ran it at the Northwest National Open WCS, but this car debuted brand new, in grey primer, at the June round-robin Funny Car meet, still putting on hose clamps. Jim holeshot Nick Harmon hazing off the line in the first round, 6.97 to 6.95. New at the June SIR Funny Car event, arrived shortly before 6 pm eliminations. Doner said the Dunns drove 24 hours straight from California to get there in time. I didn't know their GMC Suburban going to get the car was a Diesel and thought something was wrong with the engine. - Joe Moore | Jim qualified 6th at the Fallnationals with a 6.890 and won the first-round when Dennis Geisler didn't show. But Jim crossed the centerline against Dale Pulde in the second round and was disqualified. That was his only NHRA national event of the year.

Notes: Jim failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but he was at Elroy Airport for an eight-car show shortly after that. It was Elroy's first-ever race, and traction was rough, to say the least. Jim qualified #2 with a 7.00/211.76. A 7.12 in the first round, beat Jack Maroney, while his 7.10/217.38 (Top Speed) beat Tripp Shumake in the semifinals. He faced Craig Epperly in the final, and Dunn's vast experience from years of racing on poor tracks made the difference as he ran 7.01/216.86 to pick up the win over Epperly, who smoked the tires and lost. As mentioned, he qualified well at the Bakersfield March Meet. Unfortunately, he got crossed up against Bob Pickett in the first round, and shut off. He skipped the NHRA Gatornationals to run an eight-car show at OCIR being run the same day (March 15). Dunn qualified #1 with a 6.24/229.59 and went on to win, stopping Rodney Flournoy in the final. He had also set Low ET at 6.18. On April 5, he was at Green Valley for the NHRA Western Regional Opener. He qualified #1 with a 6.19/227.84, but he smoked the tires in round one, and lost to Shumake. OCIR hosted the next Western Regional, and Jim qualified #3 for the race with a 6.28/229.00. In the first round, Sherm Gunn had problems and shut off while Jim took it easy with a 7.03/196.50 to advance. He lost to the meet's eventual winner Don Prudhomme in the semifinals. Dunn's 6.32/214.79 was no match for the "Snake's" 6.17/238. At the end of June, he was at Sacramento for another Western Regional event. His 6.26/214.29 qualified second to Gordie Bonin's 6.24/236. These two would work their way into the final together. In the opening round, Jim's 6.28/218.96 defeated John Force's 6.87/181. In the semifinal, Hank Johnson's 6.48/221 lost to his 6.25/211.27. Both he and Bonin had been close in times during eliminations, with Bonin having a slight edge. It stayed that way as Bonin's 6.16/237 got the victory over Dunn's 6.19/213.38. Jim won the NHRA World Finals and was runner-up to Raymond beadle at the US Nationals. Bakersfield at 6.286/224.43. Ran 6.050/238.72 at OCIR Finals. Jim won the 1981 OCIR World Finals over Gary Burgin.

Notes: Dunn started his season at OCIR for its Grand Premiere race. The track was cold and slick. It was an eight-car show, and in round one, Jim's 6.42/214 beat Tripp Shumake, who shut down in Joe Pisano's car. He got out of shape in the second round and shut off to a 10-second time to win over Billy McCahill. He went up against Kenny Bernstein, and his 6.32/210.28 finished runner-up to Kenny's 6.21/238. Jim qualified #10 at Pomona with a 6.229/236.22 for the NHRA Winternationals. A first-round 6.18/227.27 lost to eventual winner Frank Hawley's 6.08/236 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." At Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet, Jim qualified #6 in the eight-car field with a 6.18/237.46. His 6.19/241.28 lost to his son Mike's 6.00/240 in the "Hawaiian" in the first round. OCIR held its first of two 64-car shows early in April. Of course, Jim was there. In the first round, he had problems and shut down against Bruce Iversen. In the second round, he got out of shape and shut off again against Tripp Shumake, who was blasting to 5.74 in the other lane. A week later (April 9), OCIR held its second 64-car show. Jim ran a lot better this time. His 6.17/240.00 in the opening round beat Billy Meyer's 6.19/222. In the second round, his 6.05/231.36 beat Henry Harrison. This was one of those races where everyone made two runs, and the two Low ET cars would race in the final. Unfortunately, his 6.05 was the third-lowest ET, and he didn't advance to the final. | Jim also ran 5.97 Orange County 10/16/83. | By summer '83, this car was red and ran a 5.90 single at the summer OCIR race that put him out for the night. - Joe Moore

Notes: Jim qualified on the "bump" with a 6.086/250.97 at Pomona for the Winternationals. in the first round, an off pace 6.189/226.47 lost to Rick Johnson's 5.66/259. On April 6, he was at Firebird Raceway for the Coors Funny Car Championships. His 6.08/245.23 in the opening round beat a tire-smoking Tom McEwen. In his second race, he ran another 6.08 at 243.90, but he lost to John Force's blower popping 5.82/247. He was at Bakersfield in May for the "March Meet." Jim's 6.10/245.90 qualified #5 in the eight-car field. That set up a first-round meeting with Rick Johnson, driving the "Hawaiian." Unfortunately, Dunn smoked the tires, and eventual winner Johnson advanced with a 5.76/252. Had tragic wreck at Nitefire Nationals in Boise, ID in '85 where a spectator was killed after the car went through the wire fence and throttle got hung up. We formerly listed 6.05 for Jim this year. Removing that until we get confirmation.

Notes: Photo from Indy 1987. Jim was at Firebird Raceway for the Super Bowl of Drag Racing event. His best of 6.42 failed to qualify for the eight-car field. He also failed to make the show at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where his 5.87/245.96 best was good for the fourth alternate. He was back at Firebird Raceway on April 11 where ten FCs each made two runs and the two lowest ETs met in the final. Jim's first race had his 6.22/231.95 beat Johnny West's 6.23/186 in the "Hawaiian." In his second race, his 6.33/176.81 lost to Gary Densham's 6.13/234. His ETs were not good enough to get into the final. Later that month, he was at Sacramento for similarly run show. Dunn won his first race over a broken Wally Giavia with a 6.08/245.91. In his second race, he ran 5.96/247.84 to beat Jim Murphy's 6.06/228. Unfortunately, once again, his times were not good enough to make the final. Dunn failed to qualify at the NHRA Fallnationals where his 5.92/253.09 was the fifth alternate. Going into the season-ending NHRA World Finals at Pomona, Jim's best ET had been 5.74. But before the race, a new lock-up clutch was installed as well as dual magnetos and fuel pumps. On his first qualifying attempt, he ran 5.71/253.59. The next run was 5.67/258.54 and a final 5.60/267.45 qualified #13. He upset a tire-smoking Kenny Bernstein in the opening round with yet another career-best of 5.55 at 266.98, but he lost to Mark Oswald in round two.
