Notes: Head wrench, also the occasional driver. This photo is of the 1969 car, which Schartman drove. Behling drove the 1968 Cougar as a second car in 1969. | Memphis had four fuel Funny Car's running on April 13. Arnie was one of them, and in his first race against Al Vanderwoude, the Cougar got sideways, and he had to pull the 'chute to straighten it out. He still won with a 9.23/157. In his second race, he ran against Dick Harrell. No ETs were reported, but Dick won with a speed of 204.54 over Behling's 201.34. It was probably the first time two FCs ran over 200 mph on the same run. On May 25 at Suffolk, Bruce Larson faced off against Arnie in a best of three match race. Larson beat Behling two straight, and in the second race, the Cougar's motor let go, and it was done for the day. He raced at Bristol for the AHRA Springnationals on June 8, but he broke in the first round. He got a win at US 30 on July 6 when he beat Bobby Wood in the final of an eight-car show. A first-round 7.81/191 beat Dick Harrell, and in the semis, he ran 7.79/198 to advance to the final. Both he and Wood ran 7.72, but Arnie's slower 198 got there first, beating a strong 204 mph blast by Wood’s Nova. Another win came on July 19 at the St. Louis 1/8 mile Funny Car Bonanza. Arnie ran a 5.32/142 in the first round, and in round two, a 5.10/144 (Low ET and Top Speed) beat Mike Burkhart's 5.28. In the semifinals, a 5.14/141 got around Harrell's Camaro, and in the final, he beat Ronnie Runyan's 5.31 with a 5.20/140 for the title. US 131 held their Funny Car Championships on August 30, but a strong 7.64/198.66 by Roger Lindamood in the first round, best Behling's 7.86/184.42. The following day (May 31), he raced at Minneapolis for another eight-car show. He beat Della Woods in the first round, but broke a crank and could not run in the semifinal. He ran at Suffolk on September 7 when eight cars all ran three races. In his first race, a 7.90/178.21 beat Henry Garcia in the Car Shop Camaro. A 7.72/177.86 beat Bryan Teal's 7.78/195.64. He fouled against Al Hanna in his third race. |

Notes: 1750 lbs. Shotgun motor. Crowerglide Direct Drive. | The car debuted at the AHRA Winternationals and ran 7.57/193.12 to qualify fifth. In the first round, Arnie was matched up against Danny Ongais, and the Maverick had problems getting down the track. At the NHRA Winternationals, another 7.57 qualified the car fourth. The car ran 203 at Pomona, but still lost in the first round to Larry Arnold. The car was totaled soon after. He was at Fremont for the Northern Nationals on February 15. Behling set Top Speed at 208.32, and in the first round, he got a "bye" run and ran 7.28/205.00. In the second round, he got out of shape and lost to Dick Bourgeois in Don Cook's Corvette. He set a track speed record of 205 at Orlando on February 22. His ET was a 7.53. Magazines of the day had different times for the car. Super Stock had it running a 7.34 while one magazine claimed 7.11/209. Ran 6.99 at US 30 on May 31/1970, to become the second six-second funny car in the sport. |

Notes: Drove the former Ongais car after wrecking Maverick. This car came to an end at Lions on June 21. A new engine was being tested and regular driver Danny Ongais had broken three fingers in the Baja 500 race. Behling stepped in to test the car. On the first pass the Mustang ran well, but on the second attempt, the front end came up. Arnie backed out of it and looked like he had it saved. Unfortunately, the car took a sharp turn and crashed hard into the guardrail. It bounced off and continued to roll about 100 feet downtrack before coming to a stop upside down on fire. Arnie was able to walk away from the crash, but the car was history. There were lots of other rumors about the Mustang's demise, but this was reported in a Drag News Magazine from '70. Ironically, this car was credited with a 6.96 way back in September of '69. The day before this crash, on June 20 at New York International, Leroy Goldstein ran the first "accepted" six second times. |

Notes: The Logghe Bros. built the "Ramchargers" new '72 ride. It used a 114" wheelbase and weighed 1,815 lbs. A Lenco two-speed transferred the 1,800 hp back to the magnesium 4.88 Dana rear end. The Hemi is stroked to 480, and it used Brooks rods, Venolia pistons, and General Kinetics cam. Enderle injection feeds the 98% nitro into the motor. The Demon body was made by J&E and painted by Customs Unlimited. Arnie was the 7th alternate at the NHRA WInternationals (times not reported). He was at Lakeland early in March for the IHRA Winternationals. He qualified #3 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.79. In the opening round of eliminations, Bobby Woods fouled against him, and Arnie advanced with a 7.08. He got another easy pass in round two when Fritz Callier shut off with a broken oil filter. In the semifinals, he faced eventual winner Richard Tharp, who was driving the "Blue Max." Arnie got out of shape, and Tharp ran 6.61 to win. The "Ramchargers" next stop was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Almost 40 cars were attempting to qualify for the sixteen-car field. Behling would rather forget this race as the Demon broke a rear-end during qualifying, and Arnie hit the ditch at the end of the turnoff road. We needless to say, they failed to qualify. By May, Jim Paoli was behind the wheel of this car. |

Notes: Real style Corvette, just longer. Dave sez: My first Funny Car was in '72 I think. It was patterned after Jim Dunn's car with a high gear 392. Home built (literally) and ran in the high country of New Mexico, Colorado, and West Texas. I believe the best was a 7.67/191 at Amarillo. |

Notes: Huge wheelstand: I was racing John Collins in McEwen's car first-round. They sat behind the line for a very long time while I was staged waiting for them. By the time they staged, my motor was so hot and lean that it was idling like a Cadillac. As soon as I touched the pedal, it went up all the way to the parachutes. Other than flattening the front wheels and knocking off the oil filter, it did little damage. The car went on to run a 6.52 at Seattle the next month and beat McCulloch at the 64-car show placing 4th quickest in the 32 fuel car show. As Bill Doner told us, "It sure is ugly, but it is fast. You can come back next year." - Dave Benjamin | 2 or 3 weeks later, on August 5th, he was at SIR 64, idling the 417 in the pits for what seemed like 10 minutes or more. (The body was off.) 4th quickest of the night at 6.52. - Joe Moore |

Notes: First dual-fuel pump car. Went 23 races without changing it. Dave moved to Washington in September 1980. In April, Benjamin was at Pueblo Motorsports Park for the NHRA Division 5 Opener. Only four cars showed. He beat Dan Lexa in the first round, with a 6.96/205.30 to move into the final against Rob Williams. Unfortunately, he lost a blower, and even though Williams broke on the run, Rob coasted across the finish line first. |

Notes: Ran revolutionary 3-valve heads. | Dave did not qualify at Pomona for the Winternationals when he hit the wall in qualifying. Benjamin returned to the NHRA tour at Bandimere for the NHRA Mile High Nationals at the end of July. Only sixteen-cars showed so his 8.59/104.69 held up for the "bump” spot. He lost to Jack Holsey in round one, 5.994/228.54 to 6.595/212.46. Dave had trouble in qualifying at Phoenix for the NHRA Fallnationals, where a best of 8.246/117.80 failed to qualify. At Pomona for the NHRA World Finals, his times improved to 6.146/226.01, but he joined 20 other funny car racers in failing to bump Gary Densham’s 5.851 out of the last spot in the field. |
