Notes: Holcomb did not race at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He was at Darlington in mid-March for the IHRA Winternationals. It was an eight-car field, and in round one, his 5.45/260.86 beat Jack Ostrander. Unfortunately, he smoked the tires in the semi-final and lost to Joe Amato. The following week, he was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, where his 5.29/276.07 qualified #11. He lost to Frank Bradley in the opening round. Shortly after that, he was at DeSoto Dragway for the IHRA Supernationals. Holcomb's 5.43 in the first round beat Earl Whiting but his 5.46/252 in the semi-final lost to eventual winner Darrell Gwynn's 5.25/262. Richard was the third car in the four-second zone with a 4.998 at Dallas on October 15, 1988 (third entry in the Cragar 4 Second Club for Top Fuel). The car had a rear end SO narrow that the wing struts had to be mounted around the engine. It was an aerodynamics trick to move the HUGE rear slicks out of the wind. Best NHRA times of 5.155 at Houston Fall 1988 and 276.07 at Gainesville 3/88. Photo from Columbus 1988. | On 10/15/88, we put Richard into the 3rd slot in the Cragar 4 second club. Clayton Harris crew chief, John Sparks, Rick Holcomb, Mark Wilson and 1 helper. - John Sparks |
