Notes: This team really picked up for the '75 season. Miller went to Beeline in January for the AHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #2 with a 6.35/220.58. He made it into the semifinals before the car failed to fire against eventual winner Shirl Greer. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he qualified #3 with a 6.316/213.77. A 6.430/220.58 in the first round beat Gordie Bonin's 6.54, and in the second round, his 6.503/217.91 beat a tire-smoking Jim Liberman at 7.11/166. In the semifinals, a 6.447/212.76 beat low qualifier Bill Leavitt, who also smoked the tires to a 6.72. In the final, he faced Don Prudhomme. The "Green Elephant" broke and slowed to a 9.21/99.22 loss while Prudhomme motored to the win with a 6.24/226. The team was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals in mid-March where Mike used up 20 pistons and ended up qualifying #15 with a 6.603/217.91. In the first round, he was late off the line and his 6.645/221.67 lost to Greer's 6.68/222. It was then back across the country to Seattle's opener for the '75 season. Miller ran well, hitting 6.64 twice to reach the finals, where he faced Ed McCulloch. Unfortunately for Miller, Ed was in another time zone, running 6.2s. In the final, Mike came up with a good 6.42/220.58, but it was runner-up to McCulloch's 6.24/226. These two would meet again in the Portland Grand Premiere race final. Once again, Ed was in another time zone as his 6.2s dominated the event. Miller made the final but smoked the tires and watched as the "Ace" ran 6.27/218 for the win. Mike was back across the country to attend the NHRA Springnationals but did not qualify at 6.762/208.81. At the end of June, he was in Edmonton for the third NHRA Division 6 race. Mike got the "odd-lot" solo in the first round and ran 6.41. In the semifinals, he reset both ends of the track record with a 6.38/226.13 that covered Ken McLean's 6.73. He faced Bill Spevacek in the final. Mike was late off the line, causing his 6.43/223.88 to finish runner-up to Bill's 6.47/225. Mike traveled back East to Indy for the Nationals but did not qualify at 6.580/196.07. He qualified #9 at NHRA Seattle at 6.622/223.88 and beat Gary Burgin in round one, 6.490/218.44 to 6.543/222.77. He defeated Richard Rogers in round two, 6.641/189.87 to 8.248/119.36. In round 3, Tom McEwen ended the team's good day, 6.819/214.79 to 7.116/206.94. The team ended their NHRA national event season with a DNQ (no time) at Ontario.

Notes: Mike ran at three NHRA national events and was incredibly consistent in his ETs and speeds. He attempted to qualify at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, but he was the second alternate with a 6.643/220.04 best. Mike also was the second alternate at Indy with a 6.300/231.36. He qualified #10 at Seattle with a 6.317/226.70. Mike beat Eddie Pauling in round one, 6.46/179.64, when Eddie crossed the centerline. He broke on the line against Pat Foster in round two. Mike qualified #7 at the Ontario World Finals, 6.307/227.27. Tom Hoover won a close decision in round one, 6.26/234 to 6.315/228.42. | Miller bought his own car, the Plueger Mustang, in '76, after driving the Elephant in '75. Miller finished 8th driving for the Greens, and the BZ '76 Mustang wore this. This was Miller's 1976, touring car, part of an April 6-car Funny Car show at Puyallup, including Burgin's Mustang II, John Collins in the 'Goose's '72 Duster, Kenny Goodell's new Beaverton Dodge, car, super bad, super low. R/U to the Blue Max at the overcast 64 FCs in August. Ran 6.41 to make the final, Beadle ran 6.31 and 6.34. Last year of the CC Cavalcade. Miller beat the engine-losing Max to the finish line to drunken cheers but swerved outside the boundary line. Just before the '76 Finals, Miller was runner-up at the 'Dale. - Joe Moore

Notes: Mike won the third NHRA Division 6 race held in Seattle in June. In the final, his 6.37/231.95 (Top Speed) beat Gordie Bonin's 6.57/219. At Woodburn's fourth Division 6 race, the finish was reversed, with Bonin stopping Miller in the final. Mike won the PDA Championships at Seattle on July 17, and on July 31, he was runner-up to Raymond Beadle driving the "Blue Max" at Portland International. His final round 6.39 lost to Beadle's 6.35. He was back in Seattle on August 6 for the Seafair 64-car show. He failed to reach the final, but he did beat John Collins in the first round, with a 6.60. A week later (August 13), he was at Firebird Raceway (Boise, Idaho) for the Sixth Annual Night Fire 500. Ten cars were there, and they each made two runs, with the two lowest ETs meeting in the final. Traction was not at its best. In Miller's first race, he ran 7.19/187 to beat a tire-smoking Ed McCulloch. In his second race, his 7.76/191 beat Collins' 7.96/195. His 7.19 qualified for the final, and his opponent was Rich Rogers, who had run 7.11. Miller got the victory with a 7.48/198 when Rich's transmission broke. His next stop was at Portland for the NHRA Division 6 final on August 19. In the opening round, his 6.41/206.89 beat Nick Harmon, but he lost to Bonin in the semifinals. It was then off to Spokane for the AHRA World Finals. Unfortunately, a first-round 6.91/178.57 lost to McCulloch's 6.61/206. Mike raced at NHRA Indy and Ontario. He was a 6.650/213.77 DNQ at the US Nationals but qualified #9 at the World Finals at 6.450/205.01. He broke on the burnout in round one, handing Billy Meyer a 9-second coasting victory. | The June D6 WCS win over Bonin was 6.52/231, and he beat Bonin in the PDA final with a 6.27, as reported by National Dragster (although I attended both events). - Joe Moore

Notes: Mike had been running his "Boredom Zero" Mustang II early in the season, but on May 21, he showed up at Firebird Raceway for the NHRA Division 6 race behind the wheel of Jim Green's "Green Elephant" Vega. It was supposed to be an eight-car field, but only seven cars showed, and Miller qualified last with a 6.83. His opening round 6.88/213.69 lost to Ed McCulloch's 6.54/216. Shortly after that, he was at Edmonton, Alberta, for its season opener. In the first round, his 6.88/206.85 defeated Bob Papirnick's 6.97/201. In the second round, he ran 6.71/209.79 to beat Nick Harmon, who shut down. This race was had the two lowest ET cars meeting in the final. Mike's times were not good enough to advance into the final. In the first week of June, he went to Indianapolis for the NHRA Division 3 opener. It was another eight-car show, and his 6.55/200.89 qualified #3. Things fell into place at this race as in round one, he beat Dale Pulde's 6.53/234 with a 6.51/216.86. He got a solo in round two when Denny Savage had his parachute fall out on the line. Miller advanced with a 6.75/159.01. In the final, he faced another Vega, the Mike Kase owned "Speed Racer" driven by Tom Anderson. Tom had problems in their race for the title and shut down to 8.30/104 while Mike grabbed the victory with a 6.64/215.31. His next stop was at Edgewater for an eight-car show that all cars run three rounds and the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. In his first race, his 6.40 lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.07. He won his second race with a 6.39 over a broken Gary Burgin. In the last race, Dale Creasy had trouble in Gary Bolger's car and slowed to 10.25 while Miller got the win with a 6.93. Unfortunately, his times were not strong enough to race the final. He failed to qualify at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, but the following week (June 18), he was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals. He qualified on the "bump" for the sixteen-car field with a 6.85. In the opening round, his 6.74 advanced when Larry Fullerton's "Trojan Horse" broke. In round two, his 7.01 fell to eventual winner Pete Williams' 6.49 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." In July, Mike was at Woodburn for the fourth NHRA Division 6 race. He beat Richard Rogers in round one, with a 6.82/201.34, but an even better 6.65/213.27 lost to eventual winner Gordie Bonin's 6.43/231 in the semifinal. He raced in pro comp at the IHRA Northern Nationals on July 23 before returning to the seat of the "Elephant" at Portland's big 32-car show in August. It was another one of those shows that had the two Low ET cars meeting in the final after racing two rounds. Mike won both of his races but still didn't reach the final. In his first race, he beat Steve Leach with a 6.87/211 and a 6.61/220 in his second race defeated Paul Luppy. He failed to qualify for the eight-car field at Spokane for the AHRA World Finals, where his 6.76 was the second alternate. He also raced at Seattle's 64-car show but failed to reach the finals.

Notes: Mike raced at NHRA Pomona, Columbus, and Seattle. His best NHRA ET and speed from a third alternate DNQ at the 1978 NHRA Winters (6.451/220.89). Mike was in Portland the first week of April for its opening event. However, it was not a good day for Miller as his 6.71/181 beat Ed McCulloch in the opening round, but he lost an engine while doing it and was out of competition the rest of the day. The following day (April 8), he was at Seattle for its opening race of the season. Unfortunately, his 7.07/197 lost to eventual winner Dale Pulde's 6.89/220 in the first round. At the NHRA Division 6 opener at Seattle International, Mike qualified #6 in the eight-car field with a 6.52/199.11. in the opening round, his 6.63 beat a troubled McCulloch at 10.26. But the Mustang II broke on the line in the semifinal against Don Prudhomme. He was back at Portland shortly after that for the sixth annual Oregon Open. McCulloch paid him back for the last couple losses to him by running 6.56/197 to drop Miller's 6.97/141.50 in round one. At the next NHRA Division 6 race held at Firebird Raceway on May 21, Miller was driving the "Green Elephant." Dave DNQ'd at the Springnationals (times unavailable) and qualified 5th at the Fallnationals with a 6.77, but could not start in round one. | The body had battle scars and 200 mph tape at the National Open, ran the 6.52 at night. - Joe Moore

Notes: Paul Miller did burnout and dry hop pass in car. Vega originally started as an AA/FA. It is a Lindblad chassis. He stretched the frame and we made longer brackets for the rearend mount. It had a 392. We were helped on the engine build by King and Marshall. D+D performance helped as the sponsor. It was the shortest car in the country at 101 in long. - Paul Miller

Notes: Sam brought out his clean Duster at the NHRA Summernationals. He qualified sixth (times unknown) but lost to Leroy Goldstein in round one, 6.88/208.33 to 7.23/173.69. Miller was in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals on August 15. He qualified #1 in the eight-car field with a 6.99/213.27. He advanced (no time) when Casey Powell broke in round one, and a semifinal 7.03/215.82 beat Larry Fullerton's 7.29/187.11 and moved him into the finals against Phil Castronovo. It was a close race, and Phil had set Low ET in the semifinals with his track record 6.91/202.24. A car had blown its engine in the lane that Phil had chosen for the final. The track crew cleaned the track, but Castronovo had his car get out of shape in some leftover residue and publicly criticized NHRA for its cleanup. Nevertheless, Miller ran 7.01/216.86 for the victory while Phil recovered to 7.45 for the runner-up spot. A week later (August 22), these two were in another final round together. This time, it came at the Dutch Classic held at Maple Grove. In the opening round, Sam beat Jim Maybeck with a 6.95/200.44, and a semifinal 7.35/173.41 advanced when Lew Arrington's "Brutus" broke a rear end. Castronovo got some "revenge" for the previous week when he ran 6.94/198 for the win when Miller had a rear-end break on the line. Miller qualified #10 at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals with a 6.811/215, but lost to eventual winner Ed McCulloch in round one, 6.67/219.51 to 7.24/210. The weekend of September 19 did not go so well for Sam. He was in New England for its Funny Car Nationals. It was a 32-car field, and in the opening round, his 6.92/200 beat Tom Sneden's 7.02/201. In round two, he faced Arrington, and Miller's engine let go, and the explosion ripped the body off the chassis. He was OK.
