Notes: Darrell started the year with a runner-up finish at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. He qualified #2 with a 5.89/244.56 and improved to a 5.82/231.85 in the first round, over Frank Kramberger. In the semifinals, a 5.85/248.61 beat Doc Halladay's 5.88. In the final, he met low qualifier, Brad Tuttle. It was a close race, with Brad's 5.79/251 winning over Darrell's 5.80/248.61. At the next IHRA event, the Springnationals at Bristol, he failed to qualify. The car was destroyed on July 15 while attempting to qualify for the KCIR Summernationals. Darrell had just finished pulling the 'chute after a 6.35 run when Doug Pickard's car, which had gone into a fireball, rear-ended him. Both cars were destroyed, and Amberson was OK, but Pickard received third-degree burns on his face and hands.
