Notes: The '68 season had to be the best for Chevy-powered FCs. Many of them were being built, often setting Low ET or Top Speed at many events. The Chevy engine was doing this at a fraction of the cost compared to running a Chrysler or a Ford. The engine lived, and it was surprising that it could not compete in TF. But many racers sure took note that building a Chevy was a far cheaper and easier way to enter fuel Funny Car racing. The party ended early in the '69 season as after the Winter meets, the Chevys were hard-pressed just to qualify at most big events, on a local level that still fared well until '70. Huston Platt was always a Chevy supporter even when they were not competitive. He never gave up, and in '68, he reaped the rewards as his Camaro ran really well. Platt took a big win over a sixteen-car field on February 18 at the second annual East Coast Funny Car Championships at Orlando, Florida. He ran an easy first-round 9.48/150 over Tom Smith's unblown 'Cuda. In the second round, an 8.29/177.86 beat Pete Gates'8.91/159. In the semifinal, an 8.27/175.51 beat Frank Federici. He set both Low ET and Top Speed in the final with an 8.25/179.28, beating Kelly Chadwick's 8.60/163. Early in April, he was at Southeastern Dragway for a four-car show. In his first race, he defeated Arnie Beswick's GTO. He lost to "Dyno Don" Nicholson in the second race, and in the third race, both he and Dick Bourgeois crossed the centerline and almost collided. On September 8, he was at Bristol for the All-American Funny Car Championships. His 8.14/182 won when Della Woods shut down early in the opening round. In the second round, his 8.25/183.28 fell to Don Biggers' 8.01/189.

Notes: Something is fishy here. We already have Platt driving the Tommy Smith Dart at the same 1/8-mile track on the same (11/9/69) day, stating that it (the Dart) was the first time he was in a racecar since his March 2 accident. One of these -- I am betting this Camaro entry -- is wrong. (Also this Darwin Busch photo was taken at Union Grove in 1968, not 1969.) -- RT

Notes: AKA Super Swinger. Huston drove this car for the first time at Charlotte on November 9. It was the first time he was back in a race car since the spring when he had his accident at Yellow River, where 12 race fans were killed and another 50 were injured. He faced off against Ronnie Runyan in a best-of-three match race at the 1/8 mile Charlotte track. In the first race, his 5.98/163.98 was beaten by Runyan's 5.22/160. He came back to win the second race with a 4.97/173, but in the final, a blown transmission ended his chances for the match race win. All was not lost, however, when Ron fouled on his last pass. Thus, it was deemed a draw.

Notes: Huston ran at NHRA Dallas World Finals, but the note we have is that he was subbing for Division 2 champ Tommy Smith, whose car had burned. Huston qualified #10 at 7.66 and ran 7.62 in round one, to take out a centerline crossing John Dekker. Gene Snow defeated Huston in round two, 7.21/205 to 7.61/180.00. We will place those times here based on the NHRA note about Smith's burned Dart. Please confirm if you know this story. This was the car involved in the infamous Yellow River accident. [This last statement is incorrect. Platt's new-for-'69 Camaro -- not the '68 car -- was destroyed at the Yellow River Dragstrip on March 2, 1969, the year before this entry. -- RT]

Notes: Huston was driving for Tommy Smith this year. He qualified on the bump at the Gators with a 7.335/199.11. He lost to Leonard Hughes in round one, 7.32/198 to 7.748/190.27. AKA Super Swinger. Mike Gagnon information. Also ran 7.42 at Miami. Interestingly Huston ran at NHRA Dallas World Finals, but the note we have is that he was subbing for Division 2 champ Tommy Smith, whose car had burned. Huston qualified #10 at 7.66 and ran 7.62 in round one, to take out a centerline crossing John Dekker. Gene Snow defeated Huston in round two, 7.21/205 to 7.61/180.00.

Notes: Owner-built chassis, modeled on Logghe design. At Atco's New Jersey State Championships on August 10, Ken drove his Corvair to a runner-up finish in the eight-car show. He got past Jim Liberman when Jim lost a rear end in the first round. Ken ran an 8.31/177 for the win. In the second round, Al Swensen lost a transmission, so Ken advanced again, running an 8.16/174. Unfortunately, he lost a motor in the final, giving Paula Murphy an easy run for the victory. On September 6, he raced at Great Meadows for a four-car round-robin race. In the first race, he beat Kevin Smith with an 8.62/168.86. He singled with a 9.77/148.03 in his second race when Swensen failed to fire. In the third race, he made it three straight wins when he ran an 8.65/158.45 over Bruce Bohen's Buick. A feature from a magazine article stated the Ken had run a best of 7.81/188 with the Corvair in '69.
