Notes: Actually qualified second for an 8-car open Top Fuel show at Englishtown on April 4 per Raceway News. This car was destroyed in July at Budds Creek (MIR). It was during the running of the Funny Car Nationals. Arnie beat Butch Maas in the wheelstanding "Hawaiian" in the first round, with a 7.49/205, but in round two, while racing Bruce Larson, Arnie had an engine let go, and the Mustang caught fire. He got the car stopped, and Larson helped him exit the burning car. He was OK; the Mustang was not. |

Notes: Considered the first seven-second run in a funny car. We need to confirm this was a blown car. Replace aspiration and class if injected or carbs. This car debuted on April 2 at Detroit Dragway for a best of three match against Ed Schartman and his SOHC-powered Comet. Jim won the first race with his 9.02/159.57 beating Ed's much quicker 8.61/164. In the second race, Schartman repeated his times to win over the Dart's 9.28/152. In the third race, Jim's 9.17/158.92 lost to Eddie's 7.93/166. A week later (April 9), the "Ramchargers" were at Aquasco for a best of five against Billy Lawton's Mustang. Unfortunately, while running a losing 8.94 in the second race, Thornton also lost his engine and the team was done for the day. Jim was at the Cecil Factory Showdown on May 10. He beat Arnie Beswick who crashed in the first round, before the Dart failed to fire against "Dyno Don" Nicholson in the second round. The new car got its first win at the NASCAR race at Capitol on May 13. Jim had run as well as 8.43/164.83 on his way to the finals where he would get to run Schartman. But the race never came off as Eddie's Comet failed to fire so Thornton soloed to the win with an 8.46/167.28. Another win came at the AHRA Grandnationals at Detroit on May 21. There he set Low ET at 8.47 and a final round 8.69/159.57 won when Doug Cook blew an engine in the "Stone, Woods and Cook" Mustang. In June, Thornton faced Nicholson in a best of three match at Detroit. This was not Thornton's day as he lost two straight. In the first race, Don's 8.35/148.51 just plain outran Jim's 8.74/158.73 and in the second race, Thornton tried to cut the lite a little to close and fouled away an 8.25/166 while Nicholson took the match with an 8.20/165. |
