Notes: Craig Epperly began driving for Joe Pisano in May. At the second Division 6 race at Baylands, they set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 6.01/223.88. Craig lost early, falling to Tom McEwen in the first round. Epperly qualified #14 at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.13/229.00. He lost to eventual winner Frank Hawley driving the "Chi-Town Hustler" in the first round. At the Mile High Nationals, the team qualified #2 with a 6.205/231.36. Epperly defeated Tom McEwen in Round 1, 6.275/230.17 to 6.412/234.37, but fell to a Raymond Beadle holeshot in Round 2, 6.251/226.69 (.548 RT) to 6.192/230.17 (.619 RT) – a mathematical difference of four feet at the stripe! The team then entered a rough patch in NHRA competition with DNQs at Brainerd, Indy, and Fremont (6.126/229.00, 6.130/238.09, and No Time, respectively). Epperly bounced back at the NHRA World Finals at Orange County with a 6.002 at 247.25 (Top Speed). He lost in round one to Don Prudhomme, 6.03/241 to a shut off 11.19/66. Epperly drove the HB Gold car one last time at the OCIR Manufacturer's Meet, and Al Segrini drove for Joe there. Gorgeous candy apple red, black car. Details from Joe Moore. Photo from 1982 US Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park. |

Notes: Photo from Indy 1986. Original pre-Internet draglist entry. Listed times from The Drag Racing List December 86/January 87, Volume 1, Number 9. | At Firebird's Super Bowl of Drag Racing, Epperly's best of 6.03/241.93 failed to qualify for the eight-car show. Craig ran a career-best (to this point) of 5.80 at 240.19 to qualify #8 at Indianapolis for the NHRA US Nationals. In the first round, he faced Ed McCulloch and both smoked the tires badly with the "Ace" recovering first to win with a 6.41/243 over Epperly's quicker 6.34/220.91. |

Notes: Bruce Larson (the car's previous owner) ran it through the end of '78. Etchells told me that the day he licensed in this Monza, it was so cold that snowflakes were falling at the track (Englishtown) and he was glad to be in the fire suit. I'm almost positive he said it was at the beginning of the 1979 season. - DH |

Notes: Gary was the first alternate at NHRA Sanair at 6.311/208.33. That was his only NHRA national event. | Pete Hyslop was Etchells' crew chief from '80 through '81, not Gary Etchells (although Al Hanna would also sub from time to time). I knew all of these guys pretty well. - DH |

Notes: Chuck had a bad day at Englishtown on September 22. He was there for the U.S. All-Pro Funny Car Championships. He faced Al Hofmann in the opening round, and he blew his engine, and the car caught fire. Etchells got the car stopped, and he got out ok. Where did Chuck run 6.14/241? He did not race at any NHRA national events this year. | rnrnUpdate, Chuck ran those numbers recorded at the Englishtown Crazy Eddie's Night Of Thrills 6/12/85 in his first run against Eventual Event Winner John Force |

Notes: Photo from Indy 1991. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, Chuck qualified #6 for the show and in the first round, beat Ron Sutherland with a 5.65/266.11. He picked up to a 5.55/260.34 in round two, but it wasn't enough as he lost to eventual winner John Force's 5.41/253. At the NHRA Arizona Nationals, he qualified #13 and lost in the first round. Things didn't look much better at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals where his 5.55 qualified on the "bump" spot. But he got around low qualified Jim White and in round two his 10.66/71.63 advanced when Richard Hartman broke. In the semifinals, he ran 5.40/267.61, but lost to eventual winner Force's 5.32/270. The next NHRA event was the Gatornationals where Chuck qualified #9. He lost to Mark Oswald in the first round. |

Notes: First funny car in the fours. First member of the Castrol 4-Second Club for Funny Cars on October 1/1993, with a 4.987 at the NHRA Sears Craftsman Nationals in Topeka, Kan. Terrible & terrific year in 1993: crew chief Yingst died during NHRA Slick 50 Nats in Spring, rebounded to make historic pass in Fall. Photo from Columbus 1993. | Chuck started the year at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He qualified #3 with a 5.14/285.44, but in round one, he smoked the tires and lost to Del Worsham. At the NHRA Motorcraft Nationals in Arizona, his 5.41/265.01 qualified #10. He improved to 5.22/272.39 in the first round, but it wasn't enough to beat Al Hofmann's 5.15/287. Houston was the next stop on the NHRA schedule for the Slick 50 Nationals. Etchells qualified #5 with a 5.16/270.59 and in round one, his 5.14/286.35 beat Jerry Caminito's 5.46/275. In the second round, both he and Cruz Pedregon ran 5.22 (Chuck at 276.83), but Cruz crossed the finish line first. Gainesville was the next stop for the NHRA Gatornationals. There, Chuck ran 5.30/277.86 to qualify #8. His 5.21/274.30 beat Gordie Bonin's 5.28/281 in the "Hawaiian" in the first round, but he broke against Hofmann in round two. He went to Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational and qualified #3 in the eight-car field with a 5.27/266.03. But in the first round, while faced Bonin, Chuck did his burnout and then was unable to back up after his reverser failed. After having such a rough time in the first few events, things went a little more his way at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 5.09 at 291.07. In the first round Caminito fouled against him and Etchells advanced with a 6.05/167.09. Round two saw Whit Bazemore fail to show and Chuck soloed to a 5.26/271.41. In the semifinals, he and his opponent, Freddie Neely smoked the tires with Chuck recovering first with a 5.49/265.95 over Freddie's 5.69/262. This put him into the final against Force. Unfortunately, John got the victory. The sixth NHRA race of the season was the Mid-South Nationals at Memphis. Etchells qualified #4 for the show with a 5.29/277.60. An easy 5.66/207.75 in round one, beat Brent Fanning, but in round two he lost a close race to Bonin. Gordie's 5.26/285 nipped his 5.27/274.97. At the Mopar Parts Nationals at Englishtown, Chuck qualified #2 with a 5.04/288.46 just behind Force's 5.01/289. Etchells beat Caminito in round one, with a 5.18/281.69 while in round two his 5.22/279.32 took out Kenji Okazaki. A semifinal 5.27/265.17 topped Tom Hoover's close 5.30/283 and moved him into the final against Force. Once again, John stopped him in the final. Force won with a 5.14/290 while Etchells was busy smoking his tires to an 8.01/104.69 for the runner-up spot. On May 28 these two faced off in a best of three match race at the 1/8 mile Lancaster track. Things didn't go well for Etchells as he lost two straight with times of 4.13/170 and 3.92/178 while Force ran a best of 3.73. Repeated his 299.50 from Topeka at when he set Top Speed at Ennis Fall 1993. |
