Notes: Lou started the year as the 14th alternate at the Pomona Winters at 6.30 (no speed reported). He earned the best-engineered title at Columbus in June, where Lou was the night alternate. He was the 10th alternate at NHRA Denver. Photo from the 1979 US Nationals, where 60 cars attempted to qualify. Lou did not make the show (no times reported). The engine was out of Johnny Loper's funny car. |

Notes: Ray was Harry's son and was only 16 in 1975. Believe it or not, 16-year-old Ray WAS officially the driver! They were at the very first drag race I attended, and the announcer made a point of saying that this car was being driven by a teenager! (He was the same age as me, which was both cool and annoying!)

Notes: Donovan JoAnn started her season quite badly. She was at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals and on one of her qualifying attempts, her throttle stuck. The crewman was being dragged down the track and was stuck between the blower and the rear spoiler. Eventually, he got run over by the rear slick and he was thrown out onto the strip surface. Jerry Ruth did not cut her any slack, as an onlooker asked what happened. Jerry exclaimed "Wimmen!" When he was asked what she did next, he said she got right back into line to qualify (which she did). The crewman returned to the track the next day with some burns, bumps, and bruises, but otherwise was OK. Joanne did manage to qualify #6 in the eight-car field ahead of Ruth who was on the "bump." Problems persisted in the first round, when she shut off on the line with no oil pressure. |

Notes: Also ran 8.97/150.75 in reaching the semis at IHRA Bristol June 1975. | At the IHRA Winternationals at Miami-Hollywood, Hill qualified #5 in the eight-car field, setting up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Bob Glidden, which he lost. Roy was at Gainesville in March for the NHRA Gatornationals. He was curious to see what NHRA's new 7.10 lb. weight break for the Hemi-powered cars would do for his performance. He ran 8.999 to qualify #12. Five Mopars made the field, but none were able to crack the top eight spots in qualifying. Hill's 9.02 in the first round, lost to Dave Kanners' Hornet at 8.98. The Pro Stock Open was run at Southeastern's 900-foot track in April. Roy did really well, running an opening round 7.51 over Billy Ewing and a semifinal 7.56 that narrowly beat Hubert Platt's 7.57. It was an all-Mopar final as he went up against Reid Whisnant for the title. Reid had been running a bit quicker on this day, and his final round 7.45 gave Hill's 7.60 the runner-up spot. He was at Rockingham in May for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Hill ran 9.13 in the first round, to beat Ronnie Sox, and in round two, he soloed with an 8.92 when Lamar Walden broke in the Barry Setzer Vega. His run ended in the semifinals, where his 8.88/150.00 lost to Glidden's identical 8.88 at 152. Roy did get the Top Speed of the meet at 154.37. Roy was at Suffolk for the NHRA Division 2 race, and while he qualified for the eight-car field, he failed to reach the finals. He qualified on the "bump" at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 9.15/149.50. Another 9.15/149.50 in the first round, beat Don Nicholson's late 9.05/149. In round two, he faced Glidden. Bob had problems and ran an off-pace 9.34 while Roy advanced with a 9.13. He had a bit more luck on his side in the semifinals when Richie Zul fouled away a 9.09, and Hill's 9.12 got the win light. This put him into the final against Bill Jenkins. Roy's 9.16/149.75 finished runner-up to Bill's 8.98/152. At Bristol, for the IHRA Springnationals, he ran 9.01 to qualify #5 in the sixteen-car show, but once again, he failed to reach the finals. On July 13, he was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. He qualified in the unlucky #9 spot with a 9.04/151.51, setting up a first-round meeting with Wayne Gapp's low qualified 4-door Maverick. Hill tried hard in their match, but his 8.990/152.54 finished behind Gapp's 8.96/152. After Englishtown, most Pro Stock racers made a stop at Maryland International for the US Pro Stock Open on July 18. It was a sixteen-car field, and Hill won the show. He started with a 9.03 over Carl Hobson, and in round two, he ran 8.98 while losing to Richie Zul's 8.94. But he got back in on the "break rule" as Low ET loser from the previous round when Jenkins broke and could not run in the semifinals. Roy made the best of his second chance by beating Nicholson's 8.97 in the semifinals with a quick-leaving 9.03. He made his best run of eliminations in the final, where an 8.97/151.76 got him the victory over Scott Shafiroff's 8.99/150. Roy got a runner-up finish at the IHRA Nationals at Dragway 42 in August. He qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 9.01/153.58 and then beat Tim Lysikowski in the first round, with a 9.12/153.58. A 9.06 in the semifinals beat Larry Huff's quicker 8.94. This put Hill into the final against Nicholson. The two had a close race, but "Dyno's" 9.00/154 prevailed over Roy's 9.04/153.84. | Roy ran at Southeastern Dragway in April at an eight-car show. He ran at least as quick as 7.56 at the 1000 foot track. | Best NHRA national event times were the 8.990/152.54 in round one, at Englishtown. |
