Wheelstander action was  highlighted by Danny O’Day’s low ET. 9.29, 145.05 in the Superwinch ’34 Ford which came at the expense of Richard Hutchens’ 10.09, 131.68 in his VW truck. The next best run came from Bob Hall at a 9.95, 139.20 in his Chevy Astro Van over the 10.86 of K.C. Jones’ Radio Flyer wagon.

The weirdest action came from the jets. Fran Peppler’s “Rock n’ Roll Thunder” Funny Car was going to single when Cordova management decided to bring the “Mrs. B’s Grocery Getter” injected Pontiac wagon. The Pontiac wagon just did make it to the line, but Pepper caught the way better light and prevailed on 6.04, 267.91 to 9.26, 173.21 count.

The jet dragsters saw Dick Rosberg’s Coors Light entry deliver a 5.95, 262.65 trouncing of “Diamond Jim” Crownhart’s 6.15, 243.19.

The best run came after Rosberg in Bob Van Sciver’s “New Jersey Thunder” dragster shut down with a broken fuel line. While he was being pushed off, Mark Smith did an absolutely unbelievable quarter-mile (and change) burnout when the afterburner failed to light and the beast strayed fuel vapor.

The final pair were K.C. Jones and the “Cannonball Express” dragster, which ran a 6.64, 246.93 to cover Mark Holdredge’s 7.06, 232.19 in the “Super Chief” transmogrification.
