Notes: An ad for a funny car meet at OCIR, late in 1969, credits the car with a 191 mph run. This car started out as Dick Tutino's "Alan Green Chevrolet" Camaro in 1967. After he rolled it at Arlington, Bedell bought the car, ran it in 1968 through early 1970. The car was then sold to Gary Matranga, who ran the car as the "Day Go express" through most of '70 into early '71. Believe this is the car that Bob Sanguino (another No-Cal racer) ran in '71-'72 as a Bracket car. - DD

Notes: Raced at OCIR Mfg. Championships 1968. Confirmed 7.68 at OCIR Also 7.90/194.80 Low ET and Top Speed at OCIR Funny Car Championships. Dave was driving the "Beebe and Fedak" Top Fuel car until the end of July. On August 17, he showed up at Irwindale behind the wheel of Nelson Carter's "Super Chief" Dodge Charger FC. The race was between FC's and Fuel Altereds. In the first round, he ran an 8.21/186.72 that lost to Leon Fitzgerald's 8.11/184 in the "Pure Heaven." In the second round, he picked up to a winning 7.80/191.88 over a crossed up Gary Reed in the "Groundshaker." In the third race, he ran 8.32/190.66 that lost to Sush Matsubara's 7.78/192. It was obvious that the car could run. On August 31, he went to OCIR for a sixteen-car show. Dave set Low ET and Top Speed in the first round, with a 7.74/187.88 over Larry Barker's "Psycho" Mustang. In the semifinals, a 7.81/184.80 beat Gene Conway in the "Destroyer" Jeep at 8.27. Unfortunately, in the final, the transmission let go and Gas Ronda soloed for the victory. OCIR held a Fuel Altered vs. Funny Car race on September 21. Once again, Beebe was there. He beat Willie Borsch in the first round, with an 8.35/187.50. A second round 7.95/183.20 beat Matsubara's 8.09/197. And in round three, he made it a clean sweep by beating Fitzgerald's 8.17/189 with an 8.11/191.48. On October 5, OCIR held a 10 car round-robin race. Beebe won two of his three races with a best of 7.95/189.06 while beating Fred Goeske.

Notes: In mid-1969 Big John rebuilt his 'Cuda, replacing the old 392 with a Keith Black 426. The car was repainted, relettered, and Dave Beebe drove at the '69 PDA meet at OCIR, winning Funny Car eliminator over Ongais in the M/T Mach 1. Ran 7.38/205. Rich Siroonian was back at the wheel by Indy. 120" chassis, Fiberglass Trends body. | Just before July, Mazmanian switched from a 392 Hemi to a Keith Black 426 Hemi mounted farther back in the chassis. At Irwindale for their Fourth of July race, Beebe qualified second with a 7.73, but broke against Larry Fullerton in the semis. The next day (July 5) for the OCIR Nitro Championships, he qualified third with a 7.64, but lost early. At Irwindale's Race with a Reason on July 12, Beebe won the first-round with a 7.54/195.64 over Ray Alley (7.93/184.82), but both he and Bob Smith broke in the semis with Dave taking the win. In the final against Danny Ongais, he broke again and lost. He beat Ongais in the final at the PDA Championships on July 19 with a 7.45/205.01 (Top Speed) over Danny's 7.55/193.54. He qualified #1 with a 7.56 and a first-round 7.45 beat Steve Bovan (7.90). In the second round, he set Low ET at 7.38/204.08 over Gas Ronda (8.93). In the semifinal a 7.89 beat Gene Conway (10.86). On August 2 he was at Irwindale for the Gold Cup Championships. Dave made it to the final by stopping Larry Fullerton in the semifinals with a strong 7.44/202.24. In the final, he fouled against Pete Bagnard's Nova. Another win came on August 9 at the OCIR Anniversary Race. He singled with a 7.94/191.08 when Pete Bagnard broke. Ran a semifinal 7.64/197.80 (Top Speed) over Gary Gabelich who brushed the guardrail, and a final round 7.61/197.36 (Low ET) over Ed Lenarth who broke. Shortly after this Rich Siroonian returned to driving John's car. - Ron Howard

Notes: The roof was blown off this car late in 1969 at Irwindale. | On May 17, for an eight-car show at Irwindale, Dave qualified #1 with a 7.67. In the first round, he beat Gas Ronda (8.21/185.18) with Low ET and Top Speed of 7.62/200.00. Both he and Mike Van Sant broke in the semifinal, with Van Sant crossing the line first. The Invader couldn't repair, so Dave was reinstated to run Rich Siroonian in the final. A holeshot win by Siroonian at 7.79/190.26 beat Beebe's 7.77/196.06. Another eight-car field at Irwindale on May 30 saw Ronda's 7.81/185.18 beat Dave in the first round. The next day at OCIR for the Funny Car 500, he qualified second with a 7.56/199.11 but broke a rear in the first round. He faced off against Larry Reyes in the Hawaiian at Irwindale on June 21. Reyes' 7.62/180 beat his 7.70/194.38 in the first race, but a 7.63/197.36 beat the Hawaiian's 7.93/182.92 in the second race. So for the tiebreaker, Beebe ran a 7.59/201.34 but lost to Reyes 7.65/189.46. On July 4, he showed up at Irwindale in John Mazmanian's Cuda. - Ron Howard

Notes: Beebe was driving the "Mr. Ed" car at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His 7.63/199.55 qualified #13 on the hard to get a grip Pomona track surface. An opening round 7.47 beat Leroy Goldstein's 7.69 in the "Candies and Hughes" car. In the second round, he blew the clutch, and his slowing 12.69 lost to Kenny Bernstein's 7.50 in Ray Alley's Charger. He was still behind the wheel of this car on March 18, when he ran it at Fresno Dragway for the Winter Race of Champions event. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.47. The second qualifier was way back at 6.73! An opening round 6.56/219 beat Sush Matsubara's 6.85/211. Beebe got to solo in the semifinal when Mike Van Sant lost fire in the "Stone, Woods and Cook" Mustang. Dave advanced with a 7.48/126. He went up against the second qualifier in the final, Jim Murphy. Beebe would not be denied as his 6.82/200.44 easily won over Murphy's 7.11/212. The following week (March 24), he was at OCIR for the final All-Pro race. Dave qualified #6 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.77. in the opening round, Gervase O'Neil's 7.53/133 lost to Dave's 6.96/206.42. But Beebe had problems in round two with a shut-off 9.86/69.87 that lost to eventual winner Tom McEwen's 6.96/213.
