Notes: The car began life as the Cheetah, then was sold to the Edstroms and became the Blind Faith. The Edstroms later sold it to Jon Reich. Mike didn't race at Pomona, but he went to Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals, where he failed to qualify for the eight-car field. He then went to Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. In hindsight, he would have wished he had stayed away. While qualifying, a rod let go, and he got oil under the tires. He tried to save it but crashed into the guardrail. Mike was OK, and the chassis was not badly damaged. |

Notes: The car began life as the Cheetah, then was sold to the Edstroms and became the Blind Faith. The Edstroms sold it to Jon Reich. Mike was in St. Louis in mid-June for the IHRA Gateway Nationals. He qualified #6 in the eight-car field with a 5.89, but he lost to Chuck Etchells in the opening round of eliminations. His 5.819/244.89 qualified #14 at Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals, but an off-pace 6.547/154.16 in the first round lost to Mark Oswald's 5.32. Photo from 1990 Norwalk. |

Notes: Eldridge's new Corvette was only out for its second week when he showed up with it at Irwindale on August 26 for an eight-car show. In the first round, his 8.46/175.78 beat Dee Keaton's 8.60/166. Gene Conway fouled against him in the semifinal, and Marv's 9.53/169.49 advanced. He faced yet another Corvette in the final. This one belonging to Ronnie Runyan. Marv was quicker and faster at 8.49/176.81, but he crossed the stripe second behind Runyan's quicker-leaving 8.65/159. On September 30, he was at Lions for an eight-car show, but he lost to Conway in the opening round. The following week (October 7), he was at OCIR for a best-of-three-match race against Charlie Allen's Dart. In their first race, Eldridge's 8.70/174 lost to Allen's 8.35/171. Charlie's car blew a head gasket in the second race, but his 8.70/122 still beat Marv's 8.99/178 to win the match. Late in the year (December 9), he was back at Lions for another eight-car show. In the opening round, his 8.72/167.91 lost to eventual winner Dick Loehr's 7.92/182. A few days later (December 10), Eldridge was at Irwindale. His 8.37/176.96 qualified #5 for the eight-car field. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Gene Ciambella in the "Destroyer" Jeep. Gene's 8.22/177 beat Marv's 8.54/173.74 in their race. OCIR held its final race of the '67 season on December 17. The FC's were progressing so quickly that Marv's still new Corvette failed to qualify for the eight-car show. His 8.27 was the first alternate. The photo appears to be the 1968 model. |

On January 14, he was at OCIR for an eight-car show. An 8.27/173.41 qualified #6. In the first round, he narrowly lost to Gas Ronda's 8.19/174 with a quicker 8.18/176.81. AHRA broke its Winternationals into two parts for '68. The dragsters ran at Beeline on January 21 while the Funny Cars ran at Lions on the 28th. Eldridge qualified #4 for the 32-car field at Lions with an 8.04/175.78. An 8.15 in the first round, beat Paula Murphy's 8.74, but in round two his 8.08/174.53 lost to the meet's eventual winner Jim Liberman, at 7.75/184. Don Nicholson beat him in the first round, at the second annual Stardust Open. On February 24, over 50 Funny Cars showed up at Lions for its Funny Car Spectacular event. Eldridge qualified his Corvette #12 in the sixteen-car field with an 8.40. Unfortunately, in round one, he had problems and shut down against Steve Bovan. The next day he was at Carlsbad for the South Coast Funny Car Championships where he lost in the first round, to Roger Lindamood's "Color Me Gone" Charger. There were still lots of cars (30) attempting to qualify for the sixteen-car field at Irwindale on March 3. Marv ran 8.33/173.74 to qualify #11. In the first round the Corvette lost fire on the line giving Liberman a solo into round two. |

Notes: Marv's Corvette used a 392 Hemi running on 80% nitro. It used M/T rods and Venolia pistons. Howards supplied the cam. A Don Hampton prepared blower sat on a Cragar manifold, and a Scott injection unit sat up on top. A Cragar blower drive was also used. C&O prepared the Torqueflite transmission, and the power was fed back to a Mopar rear with 3.73 gears. Eldridge started the season at Irwindale's New Year's Day race. Unfortunately, he was one of 24 cars that failed to qualify for the sixteen-car field. Marv qualified ninth at Pomona's tricky surface with an 8.27/185.95 for the NHRA Winternationals. By qualifying ninth, it meant he had to race the number one qualifier, and the only car that ran a seven in qualifying, Tom McEwen, in the first round. But a smoking 8.60 defeated the 8.96 of McEwen. He ran an 8.25/183.67 in the second round that lost to Leonard Hughes 7.86. On March 9 at the Sears Point National Open, he finished runner-up to Danny Ongais. National Trail hosted a Coca-Cola Cavalcade race on August 17. He lost to Jack Chrisman's 8.20 in the first race with an 8.26. In the second race, he broke, allowing Kelly Chadwick a 7.79 single. A 7.54/189.07 qualified #15 at the US Nationals, but his transmission let go against Connie Kalitta in the first round. Lions held an eight-car show on October 4, and Eldridge ran a first-round 7.59/187.89 over Steve Bovan's 7.74/190. The Corvette got too close to the guardrail in the semifinal and kissed it, losing to Mike Van Sant. At the OCIR Funny Car Open on October 11, Marv beat Randy Walls in the first round, with a 7.62. Both he and Frank Pisano broke in the semifinals, but the Corvette out-coasted Pisano for the win. In the final, he was paired against Walls again, and again he beat him; this time, a 7.56/187.50 won the race. On October 18, he raced at Lions for a Cavalcade race. He ran a 7.84/180.72 over Jack Chrisman, who lifted a blower in the first round. A 7.76/181.08 in the second round fell to Kelly Chadwick's 7.47/190. Coke circuit ad from 1969 cited best times of 7.59/195.89. |
