Notes: Won inaugural NE Funny Car Nats. Injected fuel here. Ran on gas as well. AWB tube chassis. Car was probably run early 1967 too. Was "Mystery 9" early in 1966, "Mystery 8" late in 1966. Ran 8.43 at Townsend, MD, per 11/11/66 Drag News. Bill faced Ronnie Sox for a best of three match race at Capitol on October 2. Sox had lots of problems and broke in the first two races. Lawton won with times of 8.87/166.35 and 8.43/167.59. Sox was unable to run the last race, but Lawton decided to run a solo and try to hit 170 mph. I'm sure he was sorry he tried as he scattered his engine all over the track when a rod let go. | We need to sort out the various Mystery x cars and the timeline. BP East Haddam CT 1966 (12/16/66 Drag News)

Notes: AKA Mystery 8. In January, for the AHRA Winternationals, Bill had led qualifying with an 8.76/163.63. He then set Low ET and Top Speed in the 2400-pound Funny Car class with an 8.53/167.59 that beat Gene Snow. He won his second-round race but blew his transmission and couldn't return for the next round. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he ran an 8.58/167.91 and won the B/XS class with an 8.71/168.22. At the NASCAR Winter Championships, Lawton lost to Ronnie Sox in the first round of both Heads-up eliminator and Handicap Eliminator. He ran 9.69/141.50. On April 9 at Aquasco Speedway, Bill downed the Ramchargers two straight in a best-of-three match race. Lawton's best times at the match race were 8.52/164.93. NASCAR held a race at Capitol on May 13, and Bill ran as well as 8.63/158.45 in stopping Dave Strickler's Corvette, but he failed to reach the finals. The next day he was at Connecticut for a best of three match with Bob Sullivan's "Pandemonium" Camaro. The blown Hemi-powered Camaro had the speed, but it wasn't as quick as Lawton's Mustang. Bill's best was an 8.53/168.85 in the first race. Sullivan was after to win the second race, and Bill won the match by winning the final. On May 21, he was at Aquasco for a ten-car show. It rained out shortly after the first round, but Bill had run 8.89/149.50 over a fouling Bobby Wood in his race. Lawton was at Englishtown on May 28 for a best-of-three match against Malcolm Durham. Bill won the match two straight with times of 8.62/164.53 and 8.81/163.83. He won the big Memorial Day Funny Car meet in Connecticut on May 30. A final round 8.89/156.79 gave him the victory after earlier running a best of 8.60/160.71. He beat Joe Lunati at Connecticut in another match race shortly after that. Lawton ran a best of 8.59 there, and it was reported that it was the last run for the "Mystery 8" Mustang as a new car was replacing it. He was running 70 percent nitro. At Bristol in June for the NHRA Springnationals, Lawton debuted his new Logghe-built Mustang. He qualified #6 at 8.469/169.17. An 8.33/176.81 in the first round beat Ed Burnett's 10.43/137, but he lost to Tom Grove in the second round, 8.38/168 to a 14-second shutoff. Only two cars showed up on Friday, June 23, for the 2000-pound fuel class at Cecil for the Super Stock Nationals. The first run between the two was also the final. Lawton won when Ed Schartman fouled against him. The next day, twelve cars were competing in the class. Lawton's 8.44 in the opening round beat Paul Hatton's 8.84, but in the second round, his 8.32 fell to Maynard Rupp's 8.29. Connecticut held a race early in July, and Bill's 8.46/167.28 beat Steve Bovan's 8.90/167 in the first round. In the second round, his off-pace 9.66/95.54 lost to Malcolm Durham's 8.75/164. He was back in Connecticut a few days later for a twelve-car show. He was un-beatable this day as he reset the track record at will. His 8.35/170.45 over Bovan in the first round was a new track ET record, and he lowered it to 8.30 while beating Larry Reyes in the "Kingfish." He faced the "Secret Weapon" Jeep of Roger Wolford in the final, and Roger broke, so Lawton ran 8.32/171.75 for the victory. Soon after, Bill faced off against "Jungle Jim" Liberman at Aquasco. Lawton got the win by default after Liberman cracked a cylinder head while running a winning 8.91/150 in the first round. Lawton then made two solo passes to win, running a best of 8.21/172.14. He had a bad day at Thompson Dragway on July 23, where he lost three straight to Dick Harrell. He was late in their first race and shut off in the second round. In the third race, his 9.00/150.00 lost to Harrell's 8.43/165. Bill's Mustang was still unblown at the US Nationals, but he qualified #8 with an 8.30/172.74. Unfortunately, he came up against Doug Thorley's Corvair in round one. An 8.128/177.86 lost to Doug's 7.81/185. After Indy, the writing was on the wall: you needed to be blown. Shortly after this, a blower was installed.

Notes: Bill Lawton didn't tour much in '68 or '69, staying in the Connecticut area. His Mustang (updated for '69 with a Paul Shedlik Mach 1 body) was still a stout performer. At Connecticut on April 20, he ran a match race against Norm Weekly in the Mr. Norm Charger. Both cars had trouble in their first race, but Norm's 9.43/123.11 beat Lawton's ailing 10.47/91.64. In the second round, an 8.35/157.89 beat the Charger that lost a motor and slowed to an 8.83/138.21. Bill singled with an 8.08/172.24 to win the match. On April 27 at Connecticut, Lawton ran a best of 7.90/175.78 while losing three straight to a tough Charlie Allen, who lowered the track record on every run, dropping it to a 7.45/196.50. He lost a best of three match to Clare Sanders on May 17 at Pittsburgh. An off-pace 8.04/152.28 lost to Sanders' 7.86/182 in the first race, and in the second race, the Mustang broke, and Clare won by default. On June 1, Connecticut held its Memorial Day Championships, and Lawton won the race when in the final, both he and Al Graeber blew their transmissions. Bill won the coasting contest. Bill had run a first-round 8.08/177.10 and a Low ET and Top Speed of the meet 7.56/194.80 in the semis over Charlie Allen's 7.60/191.05. Terry Hedrick met Lawton in Connecticut on June 22 for a match race. A 7.75/188.66 beat Hedrick's 7.81/189 in the first race, but Bill lost oil pressure in his transmission and shut off in the second race giving Terry a solo for the win. In the third and deciding race, a 7.57/187.50 beat the Super Shaker that got out of shape. On August 17 in Connecticut, Allen had a rematch against Lawton, and once again, Charlie won all three races. Bill ran a 7.70 best. Late in August, Detroit Dragway held an eight-car event where all cars made three runs. The car that won the most rounds won. Bill didn't do very well this day, losing all three of his races. He was quicker in his first race (8.28/154) than his competition (8.38/191), Terry Hedrick, but lost to a holeshot. In the second race, Larry Reyes' 7.44/193 beat Bill's 7.76/167. And in his last race, Roger Lindamood's 7.49/197 beat his 7.79/181. Connecticut held two days of Funny Car racing on September 7 and 8. On the 7th, eight cars competed. Bill ran 7.88/185.94 over Curtis Wasson's 8.83/134 in the first round, but Malcolm Durham's 7.77/192 beat his 7.83/190.66 in the semifinal. On September 8, fourteen funny cars showed at Connecticut, and Lawton's 7.90/185.56 lost to Mel Perry's 7.73/185.56 in the first round. On September 21 at Epping, N. H., for the New England Funny Car Championships, Lew Arrington's 7.32/195 beat Bill's 7.32/200.44 in the first round. The speed was Top Speed of the meet and a new track record. He also ran 7.36 at Epping.

Notes: Leach ran Race Car Dynamics. | Steve ran well at the PDA Championships at OCIR. It was a twelve car field that had all cars run two rounds of racing with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. Steve ran 6.80/207.85 to beat Gary Cochran who was driving Jim Terry's Mustang in the first round, and a 6.93/210.28 beat Jake Johnston in the "Pisano-Matsubara" Vega in his second race. His times were not good enough to get him into the final, but he was one of only three cars to win both his races.

Notes: Leach ran Race Car Dynamics. This car was destroyed at Fremont early in the year. Steve was at Fremont in April for the NHRA Division 7 race. It turned out to be a very bad day for him. He smoked the tires and got crossed up, then had the blower explode, which destroyed the body. He then crashed the car into the guardrail, which wrecked the chassis. He was OK, but the car was toast. | Steve made it back to the World Finals driving something! He did not qualify and we don't have those times.

Notes: Cassidy drove this car for a time, but the year is a guess. Ron had the car with this body in 1983, but did he run this body in other years, too?

Notes: Plymouth welcomed Leal into its racing team for the '65 season, and he got one of the altered wb cars. He started the season by winning the Ultra Stock class at the AHRA Winter Championships held in Phoenix, Arizona. He had run a best of 10.76 there. As the season progressed, his times dropped into the 9.90s. He then hit the 9.80s and 9.70s on gas. The car was injected; Leal was wary of blowers. The quickest and fastest the car ran on gas was 9.69/144.92 (from Butch's website). Confirmed 9.75 at Lions 11/18/65 Drag News and 142.4 at Fremont 6/12/65 Drag News. - DL | He converted his legal S/S car to injected, AWB match race configuration in mid-season. - RT
