Notes: At Gainesville, for the NHRA Gatornationals, Anderson ran 6.38/226.70 to qualify #11. He had problems in the first round against Tom Hoover and shut off to 9.83. Tom was the second alternate for the eight-car field at the NHRA Cajun Nationals with a 6.51/227.27 best. At NHRA Columbus, he hit 6.38 again (speed unavailable) but was the third alternate. In July, the team was in Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. Tom qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.11 (Low ET), but he smoked the tires in the first round he shut down to a losing 11.90. A 6.34 (speed unavailable) made him the second alternate at Sanair. The team took a massive jump in performance with a 6.088/236.84 #11 qualifying effort at Indy. Unfortunately, Tom lost a close 6.15/236 to 6.185/237.46 decision in round one to Raymond Beadle. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the season. Was he in the Omni by Indy?

Notes: Tom failed to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, and at the NHRA Gatornationals, his best of 6.169/230.76 was good for the second alternate. He also missed the show at NHRA Atlanta, as his 6.197/212 grabbed the third alternate slot. Anderson won the NHRA Eastern Regional on May 17. In the final, he beat Rick Johnson with a 6.50/225.50 to Rick's quicker 6.47/217. At the NHRA Springnationals, a 6.244/223.32 qualified #12. He drove around a slight Mike Dunn holeshot in the "Hawaiian" in the first round, with a 6.371 (no speed) to 6.41/224, passing Mike by about 10 feet! In round two, he could not drive around another holeshot, as his 6.325/228.42 lost to eventual winner Craig Epperly's 6.357/227.84, a margin of about 8 feet! Tom was the second alternate at Englishtown with a 6.217/232.55. He qualified on the bump at Sanair at 6.229/231.36 but lost to Kenny Bernstein in round one, 6.09/243 to a 13-second shutoff. Tom also missed the field at Indy, finishing as the sixth alternate at 6.150/236.22. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the year.

Notes: Anderson was the full-time driver for Jim Wemett in 1982. He moonlighted as the interim Custom Body driver in midseason after Bobby Hilton's departure and before Paul Smith's tenure in the car. Anderson qualified the Custom Body #3 at the NHRA Summernationals with a 5.935 at 245.90 mph and defeated Ken Veney in round one, with a 6.341 to Veney's 6.362. He lost to Gary Burgin in round 2. - David Hapgood | Tom was also driving this car in August when he won the Englishtown Race of Champions event. A quick leaving 6.03 in the final beat Burgin's 5.97.

Notes: First funny car in the 5.70s at Indy 1982. This car was painted in Budweiser colors for Indy because Anderson made the first Big Bud Shootout and Bernstein didn't. Photo from the 1982 US Nationals. | Tom qualified #4 at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.04/231.95. He beat Bobby Hilton and Dale Pulde in the first two rounds before losing to eventual winner Frank Hawley's 6.11/234 in the "Chi-Town Hustler" with a 6.29/164.49 in the semifinals. A week later (June 20), the team was at Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals. Anderson’s 5.98 qualified #6 in the eight-car field. He beat Billy Meyer and Gary Burgin to reach the final against Pulde. In the final, Tom had traction problems and slowed to a 6.80 loss while Pulde grabbed the victory with a 6.04. The NHRA Grandnationals in Canada was another eight-car show and Tom qualified #7 with a 6.14/233.76. Unfortunately, he lost early in eliminations.

Notes: Tom set Low ET in qualifying #1 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.880/238.09. He had been driving the other Funny Car drivers nuts during qualifying. Anderson had run a 6.17/206.89 on Thursday, which was only second to Gary Burgin's 6.09/238. Then he came out Friday morning and ran his great 5.88/238. No one else was able to break into the "fives' until Frank Hawley finally ripped off a 5.97/241 late in qualifying. That was the only other car to run a "five" during Pomona's qualifying. He made it into the final by beating Tripp Shumake's 6.15/245 in the first round, with a 5.96/242.58. In the second round, a 6.11/242.58 beat John Force, and in the semifinals, he ran 5.97/236.84 to beat Gary Burgin's 6.18/234. Tom came up against the "Chi-Town Hustler" with Hawley behind the wheel in the final. Anderson ran a 6.02/241.28 that lost to Hawley's 5.93/249. At the NHRA Gatornationals, Anderson had a bad fire during qualifying. The team stripped the car down to the bare chassis and made repairs. He then went out and ran 6.01/240.69 to qualify #14. In round one, he ran a 6.04/239.36 to beat Don Prudhomme's 6.19/209. Burgin had problems and shut off in the second round, and Tom advanced with a 6.00/235.60. Unfortunately, he got out of shape in the semifinals and lost to Dale Pulde's tire-smoking 7.95. Atlanta held an eight-car show later in March, and Tom was there. He qualified #3 with a 6.37/177.16 and picked up to a 6.14/226.70 in the first round over Shirl Greer. He lost in the semifinals. A month later (April 17), he was back in Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. Once again, it was an eight-car field, and this time he qualified #5 with a 5.94/239.99. He lost to low qualifier John Lombardo in the first round, where he fouled and shut down to 8.95. Things didn't go very well at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. A best of only 6.39/170.13 failed to qualify for the eight-car show. The next stop was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Tom qualified #11 with a 6.07/206.89. An opening round 5.97/240.64 stopped Hawley's 6.03/235, but in round two, he slowed to a 6.29/243.24 that lost to Burgin's 6.26/233. Anderson followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the Grandnationals, where his 6.04/239.36 qualified #5. The problem is that qualifying fifth in an eight-car show means you had to run the low qualifier in the first round. Prudhomme qualified #1, and the "Snake" defeated him in the opening round. Considering the budget, these guys had compared to everyone else. This team was more than impressive. The NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown was a perfect example. With all the "high-dollar" sponsored cars around them, Tom's 5.91/244.56 qualified #3. Unfortunately, he smoked the tires and slowed to a 6.19 in the first round that lost to Kenny Bernstein's 5.85/249, but the team was able to qualify and run so well against much more heavily funded teams was noticed by all. Anderson went to Denver for the NHRA Mile-High Nationals at the end of July. It was an eight-car field; his 6.14/230.76 qualified #6. He cut a great light in the first round that saw his 6.11/238.72 hold off Ken Veney's quicker 6.08/221. In the semifinal, a 6.16/220.58 beat John Force's 6.40/193. He went up against Hawley in the final. Frank was the only Funny Car here that had run in the "fives." Anderson hoped for the best, but his 6.34/177.51 lost to the "Hustler's" Low ET and Top Speed setting 5.91/244 in the final. Hawley continued to upstage the team at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. Tom's 5.91/237.46 qualified second to Frank's 5.86/247. In round one, Paul Smith broke, so Tom made an easy solo. But in round two, his troubled,8.19 lost to Mike Dunn's 6.25 in the "Hawaiian." Tom's best times of the year happened at Indy at 5.829/249.30, and a runner-up to Kenny Bernstein.

Notes: On March 6, Paul Smith drove the car at the IHRA Winternationals at Lakeland. He lost to Fritz Callier in the first round. Not sure who was driving it on April 30 at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships, but in the first round, the Cougar lost to Richard Tharp in the "Blue Max." This car had a Ford SOHC at some point.

Notes: Dale was at Irwindale for the New Year's Funny Car race on January 2, but he failed to qualify for the eight-car show. He went to Lions on January 8, and he now had Frank Pedregon's blown Hemi in the car where the small-block Chevy had resided. He was not in competition with anyone as there were only a few cars making check-out passes. After running 9.03/162.45, Armstrong came back out for another pass but ended up sending two rods through the block of Frank's engine. On March 19, Carlsbad had 15 cars trying to make its eight-car Funny Car show. Dale qualified #7 with an 8.89, but in the first round, he lost a transmission and could not race against Butch Leal. | Armstrong swapped his blown 352" small block Chev for a semi-hemi in '67. Glass nose also replaced previous year's stock-trimmed front quarter. (Unknown if the entire roadster shell was replaced with the one-piece unit pictured.) - RT

Notes: A 5/10/74 National Dragster says this car ran 7.50s in 1969. Confirmed times are listed. Fiberglass Trends body. Dale qualified #8 out of forty cars attempting to make sixteen spots with a 7.89 at Irwindale's New Year's Day race. But in the first round, the car was ailing. He lost to a 10.38 by Clyde Morgan. At Beeline in Jan for the AHRA Winternationals, he lost to Dick Harrell's 7.83 in the first round. Thirty-five cars showed to do battle for eight spots at the second OCIR All-Pro on February 9, and Armstrong's 7.69/187.88 qualified #5, but again he lost early. Another first-round loss came on February 22 at Lions when Randy Walls beat him. A month later, on March 22, he failed to qualify at Lions when 22 cars showed for the eight spots. On April 26, he qualified for a sixteen-car show at Irwindale, but a first-round 8.20/191 by Ed Lenarth stopped his 8.29/170.77. On May 3 at OCIR's second annual Manufacturer's Funny Car Open, Gas Ronda's 8.29/176 beat Dale in his first race, and an 8.22/182.18 won his second race when Gordon Mineo fouled away a 7.92/182. He was at Lions for an eight-car show on May 24, and his 7.85 qualified on the "bump." This was pretty good, considering 19 cars were attempting to qualify. He slowed to an 8.11/183.67 loss to eventual winner Dave Beebe in the first round. After the loss, he came back out to race Hank Clark in the Rebel SST in a consolation race. He beat the AMC with an 8.46/179.28. On June 8 at Seattle for the Travelon's Fuel Championships, he again lost in the first round, to Mike Miller's 8.17.

Notes: Dale had a bit of bad luck at OCIR on May 2 for the Big Four Championships. He was lined up against Don Hampton for his first-round race when the car caught fire. He got out OK and the fire was quickly put out, but he was out of competition for the day. He raced at the fourth AHRA Grand American at Frontier International Raceway where he qualified with an 8.03. A first-round 7.93/188.17 lost to John Dekker's 7.73/191. He was back at OCIR on May 30 for the Funny Car 500, but he fouled away a 7.74 in the first round, against Wendell Shipman. Dale won over an eight-car field at the Tom Ferraro benefit race at Irwindale on June 6. He beat Bob Smith in the first round, with a 7.85/184.80, and in the semifinals he ran an easy single. In the final, he set Low ET of the meet with a 7.73/187.50 to beat Hampton for the victory. At Lions on June 13 for the All-American series race, he qualified for the eight-car show and in round one, beat Smith's 7.95/163 in "Bad Bascomb's Ghost" with a 174.75. Unfortunately, his Challenger came up ailing in the semifinals and he could only coax a 10.01 out of it that lost to Gene Conway's 7.27/196. At the OCIR Anniversary Race on August 15, Dale won his first-round race with a 7.90/170.45, but the car burst into flames in the traps. The Challenger was extensively damaged, but Dale walked away with only slight shoulder burns.

Notes: Dale debuted a unique alcohol/nitrous oxide combination in his Satellite on January 1 at Sacramento. The car used nitrous as well as a small percentage of nitro. He was there for a best-of-three-match race against Tommy Ivo. Armstrong lost all three races, recording a best of 6.72/206 compared to Ivo, who ran a best of 6.22/214 in winning the match. Dale ran 6.50/214.79 at the PRO event at Beeline on 1/14/77. Confirmed 6.48 per Bret Kepner. | In a December '77 Drag News interview, AA/Dale drew a picture of how part of the problem was that the injector nozzles were pointed directly at each other. The Surfers (or maybe anybody who used) Hilborns had offset nozzles, with pictures. - Joe Moore
