Notes: Everyone expected this car to win the NHRA Funny Car Championship in '89. After winning the championship the previous four years, it was a little disappointing how the season went for Kenny. It started at Pomona for the Winternationals. Kenny qualified way down the ladder in the #13 spot with a 5.47/266.74. He improved to a 5.42/264.16 in the first round to beat Dale Pulde. In round two, a consistent 5.43/269.21 beat Tom Hoover. In the semifinal, he beat Chris Lane with a 5.48/265.33. In the final, he met who was soon to be his nemesis, Bruce Larson. And sure enough, Larson scored the win over Bernstein. The next event on the NHRA schedule was the Supernationals. Kenny qualified #4 with a 5.30/270.27 but broke a rear end in the second round and lost to Art Hendey. The Gatornationals was the next stop; a 5.39/269.70 qualified #6. He lost to Larson in the second round. At the fourth race of the year, the Southern Nationals in Atlanta, Bernstein qualified #4 with a 5.47/266.27, but once again, he lost in the second round, this time to Eric Reed. He looked like the Bernstein of old at the Mid-South Nationals at Memphis. He qualified #1 with a 5.25 (Low ET) at 280.11. He beat Scott Kalitta in the first round and then got a couple of lucky breaks when, in round two, both he and Hoover smoked the tires, but Kenny's 6.45/232 held on for the win. In the semifinals, he ran a 5.42/270 to win over Ed McCulloch, who shut off to a 10.00. In the final, he ran Mark Oswald in the "Candies and Hughes" Probe, and once again, he had a little luck when Oswald broke, and Bernstein scored his first victory of the season. The next race was the Cajun Nationals. Kenny used a 5.50/266.50 to qualify #4. In the first round against John Martin, the car broke on the burnout, giving Martin an easy single. The seventh race of the season was the Springnationals at National Trail. Bernstein qualified #3 with a 5.33/269.13. He beat Kalitta in the first round with another 5.33 but smoked the tires and lost to Jim White in round two. A strong performance was turned in at the Grandnationals in Canada. Kenny set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 5.44/265.72. In the first round, both he and Johnny West had problems, and both ran 5.60, West at 253 and Bernstein at 212.31, but the Buick still won the race. A 5.47/270.92 (Top Speed) beat Hoover's 5.68 in round two. In the semifinals, he beat Don Prudhomme's 5.73/231 with a 5.48/254.47. Once again, he met with Oswald in the final, and the results were the same, with Kenny's 5.51/265.72 beating Oswald's close 5.54/258. He didn't have to wait long for his third victory of the year as it came at the next event, the Summernationals at Englishtown. He qualified #3 with a 5.35, beat Hendey in the first round, and John Force in the second with a 5.36/272. He ran a solo 5.40/270 in the semifinals when Prudhomme broke just off the line. In the final, he was paired with McCulloch, and Kenny ran a 5.41 to win over Ed's 5.50. He was a favorite to win when the teams headed to Denver for the Mile High Nationals. He didn't disappoint in qualifying when his 5.53/263.38 (Top Speed) got the pole. He beat Hendey in the first round, and a 5.62/254 beat Mike Dunn's close 5.65 in round two. But in the semifinals, Oswald put him away with a track record 5.50. The California Nationals was next, and again Kenny qualified well with a 5.39/273.88, taking the #3 spot. Unfortunately, he and Tony McCallum ran 5.52 in the first round, with Tony winning. The next race was the Seafair Nationals at Seattle. Bernstein qualified #4 with a 5.34/278.89 (Top Speed). He beat Hendey's 5.57/260 in the first round with a 5.35/276.66. In round two, a 5.41/248.23 beat R.C. Sherman, and in the semifinals, he took a big win over Prudhomme with a 5.34/276.07, beating the "Snake's" 5.40/263. In the final, he met Larson, and despite running quicker and faster with 5.37/273.22 times, he lost to Larson's holeshot 5.40/271. At the Northstar Nationals, a 5.43/266.11 qualified #2. When McCallum broke, he ran an easy 11.70/72.42 in the first round. But in round two against Larson, Kenny ran even worse when he smoked the tires to a 14.35/70.56 to lose to Bruce's 5.51/271. Kenny and Dale probably thought things couldn't get worse when they went to Indy for the US Nationals. A 5.37/276.75 qualified #8 there, but he lost to Hoover in round one. They went to Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals and set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with a 5.35/264.71. Kenny got past a fouling Gary Bolger in the first round, and in the semifinals, he ran a 5.64/216.35 that beat Doc Halladay's quicker 5.61. In the final, he met the second qualifier, R.C. Sherman, who beat him with a 5.50 to the "Budweiser King's" 5.54. On September 10, he was at Darlington for the IHRA US Open. A 5.51/264.41 qualified #2. He smoked the tires to a 6.67 in the first round but still beat Halladay. A 5.54/272 beat Johnny West's 5.98/244 in the semifinals. Kenny got his first IHRA victory of the year when he stopped a tire-smoking Darrell Amberson in the final with a 5.56/273.53. A week later (September 17), he was at Maple Grove for the NHRA Keystone Nationals. He broke 280 in qualifying with a 5.25/280.37 (#3). Another 5.25 at 279.06 beat a fouling Scott Kalitta in the first round, but in round two, he smoked the tires in a 6.80/141.17 loss to Larson's 5.30/276. He also lost in the second round at Topeka for the NHRA Heartland Nationals. There, his 5.44 lost to Oswald's 5.34. The following week (October 8), he was at the Texas Motorplex for the Chief Nationals. He qualified #4 with a 5.21/277.60. Another 5.21 at 278.46 beat Hendey in the first round. A 5.24/277.43 advanced in round two when Tony McCallum broke, but in the semifinals against Prudhomme, he smoked the tires to a losing 9.29/79.33. The NHRA tour then went to Arizona for the Fallnationals at Firebird Raceway. Kenny qualified #2 with a 5.48 at a track record 271.98. He beat Jim Dunn in round one, while a 5.49/267 in round two advanced when Jim White lost a blower on the line. In the semifinals, he slipped to a 5.56/268.17, losing to eventual winner Larson's 5.43/268. At the season-ending World Finals at Pomona, Bernstein did not end his Funny Car career as he would have liked. He qualified #4 with a 5.32/278.46, but in the first round, against Jerry Caminito, he lost with a 7.30/184.84. In the season-long NHRA points chase, he finished third behind Larson and Prudhomme. In the IHRA standings, he finished #7, even though he only ran two events. Some drivers would have loved to have seasons like that, but it was below his expectations for Kenny. Set 5.257 national record at Memphis 89. Ran 276.75 at 89 Big Bud Shootout. Photo from Indy 1989.

Notes: Steel GTO with factory frame. Along with Chrisman's Comet, Mr. Norm's AWB '65 Dodge and a handful of others, Beswick's blown Mystery Tornado match racer prompted Super Stock & Drag Illustrated to ask whether "we may see a return of the fuel coupe and sedan-type racing, so popular in the early days of drag racing." - RT | Built during the 1964 season when Jack Chrisman and the Dodge Chargers factory teams were grabbing headlines, this car also had the only set of aluminum 1964 GTO fenders Pontiac ever made according to Arnie. Beswick found the car so popular that he dropped his new A/FX Mercury sponsorship deal midway through the '65 season rather than park the Tornado. After building the 1963 Tameless Tiger Tempest, the chassis was sold to a circle track team in the Quad Cities region and was subsequently destroyed. The lightweight panels from the car were lost in a well-publicized fire at Beswick's farm. - GS | Arnie faced Dick Landy for a best-of-five match race at Capitol on July 31. He won the first race when Landy fouled, but Dick came back to win the second race. The third race saw Beswick's 9.72/145 beat the Dodge. Landy tied up the match at two, each with a 9.78/140 in the fourth race. The tiebreaker was won by Landy, giving him the match race win. – RH | Apparently, Arnie was credited with an 8.63/163 at Byron, IL, in the September 19, 1965, Drag News issue. Byron IL 1965 (9/18/65 Drag News), but Bret Kepner confirmed it was actually an 8.69 at Cordova (7/23, Bill & Bret late night phone call)

Notes: Arnie was at Drag City late in January for a best-of-three match race against Tom McEwen, who was driving the "Hemi-Cuda." Beswick got out on McEwen in the first race, but the Mopar drove around him to a 9.37 win over the Pontiac's 9.54. Arnie got out first in the second race as well, only to watch as McEwen came past again. Tom made it three straight over the Tempest. In March, Beswick ran 8.35 at Alman, GA, to reset Gary Dyer's 8.58 world record. Beswick was at Cordova on June 25 for a best-of-three match against Darrell Droke's blown SOHC Mustang. In their first race, Beswick's 8.90/160.42 beat Droke's 9.00/151. Darrell fouled in the second race, and Arnie won the match two straight. Arnie was at Cordova for a best-of-three match race against Larry Reyes' "Kingfish" Barracuda on October 2. In the first round, Arnie went into a wheelstand and shut down, losing to Larry's 9.09/138. In the second race, it was Larry who got out of shape and shut off, giving Beswick the win with an 8.87/163. In the third race, Beswick ran 8.83/158 to win the match when Reyes got out of shape again.

Notes: Arnie Beswick and Don Gay were two of the last to run Pontiac-powered FCs. That and the fact that they were both very competitive made track operators do what they could to make them appear at their track. Arnie had been there since the beginning of the FC movement. He was a diehard Pontiac fan. While he never scored many "major" event victories, he was always tough to beat in match race competition. Early in May, he was at Oswego for a best of three match race against Doug Cooke, who was driving the "Stone, Woods and Cook" Mustang. A wheelstanding 10.76/104.56 lost to the Mustang's 8.89/166 in the first race but a 9.44/157.89 in the second, won when Doug blew a rear end. He made an easy solo for the win when Cooke could not repair for the last race. On May 14, he was at Minnesota Dragways for a match against Hayden Proffitt and his Corvair. Arnie's 8.82/169.81 won the first race over Proffit's 8.87. He shut off in the second race, giving Hayden the win at 8.72/163. The two had a great race in the tiebreaker that saw Hayden's 8.88/157 get the win over Beswick's much better 8.71/169.81. Arnie was at Union Grove in mid-September for a UDRA race. Unfortunately, he broke a rear-end during qualifying, and Pete Gates took his place. On October 1, he was at Covington for its Factory Showdown race. It was a 3/16 mile track, and the race featured eight cars. He beat Huston Platt in the opening round but fouled against Phil Bonner in the semi-final. Hard to say whether his tiger-striped AWB LeMans coupe or the beautiful "Star Of The Circuit" GTO is the Farmer's most famous racecar. The "Star" was built on a budget. Beswick didn't have the dough for a full tube chassis, so he took the stock frame from under the '64 Mystery Tornado GTO and had the Logghe Bros. add a tube front axle to it. This car has been restored and is running serious laps at nostalgia drag events. - RT

Notes: Hard to say whether his tiger-striped AWB LeMans coupe or the beautiful "Star Of The Circuit" GTO is the Farmer's most famous race car. The "Star" was built on a budget. Beswick didn't have the dough for a full tube chassis, so he took the stock frame from under the '64 Mystery Tornado GTO and had the Logghe Bros. add a tube front axle to it. This car has been restored and is running serious laps at nostalgia drag events. - RT | Confirmed 8.34 at Cecil County 5/18/68. | Arnie was loyal to Pontiac, and by '68, it was getting harder and harder to compete against the Mopar Hemis, SOHC Fords, and Chevy Rat motored cars. The other Pontiac standout, Don Gay, switched to Chevy motors mid-season. But there was no way Beswick would put a Chevy or any other engine in his car. He started the season with this GTO, but he changed to a Romeo Palamides built car mid-season. On February 18, he competed at the East Coast Funny Car Championships in Orlando, Florida. A first-round 9.32/163.33 beat Lee Walker's Camaro at a quicker 9.21/153. He was to face Phil Bonner in round two, but Arnie had to shut off on the line with no oil pressure. He then went to Daytona Beach for the NASCAR Winter Championships, where he finished runner-up to Bill Lawton's 8.91/169 despite running a quicker 8.88/164.53. On May 5, he was at Aquasco for the Funny Car Invitational. Unfortunately, he fouled against Jim Liberman in the first round. He ran really well at Cecil County's Fuel Showdown on May 18. A first-round 8.34/156.79 beat Malcolm Durham's quicker 8.16/180. In the semifinals, Beswick ran 8.17/174.41 but lost to Liberman's 7.92/182. Arnie was back at Aquasco on June 16 for a best-of-three-match race against Durham. The "Strip Blazer" was having all kinds of problems, and Arnie won two straight, hitting 181.63 on one run. He was in Canada for Grand Bend's Funny Car Championships on June 30. It was a four-car field, and Beswick got out of shape and shut off against Gary Dyer in his first race. In his second race, he lost to Eddie Schartman. Shortly after this, he debuted his new GTO.

Notes: Arnie was at Orlando on January 4 for the Drag News Championships. A first-round 8.49/175.78 advanced past Huston Platt, who broke a transmission in Tommy Smith's Dart. Phil Castronovo blew an engine in the second round, and Beswick shut off to an 11.02/114.20 to advance. In the semifinals, he fouled against Larry Arnold. He went to York US 30 for an eight-car show in April, where his 8.24/173.41 lost to Bruce Larson's 7.71/187 in the opening round. He came back later for a grudge race against the "Super Twister," and Arnie won with an 8.06/176.81. He was at New York National Speedway in May for the Springnationals. Beswick lost early, and his best pass was 7.99/180.26. On June 21, he was at St. Louis for the AHRA 1/8 mile Championships. He reached the final against Bobby Rowe driving the "Super Duster," but Arnie broke a rear end and had to settle for the runner-up money. Beswick was at Lions on October 24. 25 FCs were attempting to qualify for the eight-car field. Arnie qualified, but in the first round of competition, his 7.38/198.67 lost to Randy Walls' 7.30/204. Did Arnie really run a 6.91/213 in this car? We need confirmation. | Photo from 1970 Springnationals at New York National Speedway, Long Island. - RT

Notes: This was a leased deal for Beswick after he suffered a fire at his shop to fill out dates he had already booked. Arnie was contacted by a team that was having a lot of problems trying to run their Challenger FC. It was using the best parts money could buy, but the guys couldn't get it to run well. Even with Arnie's help, the team blew up just about everything, so eventually they sold out to Beswick for next to nothing. Arnie worked on it and it came around, turning some decent numbers, but the car's short career came to an end at Maple Grove. While running Gene Snow in a match race, the car flipped at the top end of the track and was totally destroyed. Arnie was fine; in fact, he jumped into his Pontiac Funny Car for a race the next day.
