Notes: Here's a nice shot of Pat Dakin in G. L. Rupp's car losing a motor during Saturday afternoon qualifying at the 1974 Summernationals. This car was one of the nicest-looking dragsters of its day. Simple but effective graphics. Also, note those enclosed front wheel tubs. Although a neat idea while stationary, they were rudders at speed. If you had to correct and turn the wheel, they would fight you big time, ultimately sending you further out of shape. - Peter Kumble. (Note: The wheel pants having a rudder effect is generally accepted, but many notable top fuel drivers dispute this. Bp). | Ran 6.29 at Indy, 6.06 at Pomona, 6.40 at Gainesville, 6.26 at Englishtown, 6.33 at Indy. Dakin and partner G. L. Rupp had one of the stronger-running Donovan-powered cars at this time. | At Pomona for the season-opening NHRA Winternationals, Pat qualified #6 with a 6.06/233.16. A first-round 6.07/219.51 beat Gaines Markley, and in round two, he advanced with an easy 6.57/191.48 when Don Garlits broke. Unfortunately, he lost to a strong 5.84 Low ET of the meet blast by Gary Beck in the semifinals. The team was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals in March, and they qualified #12. In the first round, Dakin's 6.40 lost to Mike Wagoner's 6.39. Pat won the Easter Bunny Top Fuel Open at Bowling Green, Kentucky. On March 31, they were in Charlotte for the IHRA Southern Nationals. It was a 1/8-mile track. Dakin made it into the final by beating Tom Raley in the first round, when both ran 4.39, Pat at 161.87. In the semifinals, a 4.49 beat Marvin Schwartz, but in the final, he lost to Dale Funk. Dakin qualified #1 in the eight-car field at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships with a 6.56/189.47. He then set Top Speed of the meet with a 225.55, but he lost before the finals. Indianapolis hosted the first NHRA Division 3 race, and a 6.29 qualified the team #3. Dakin fouled in the first round against Jim Bucher. They were a little off at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals, only qualifying #14 in the field. But Dakin was up to the task, pulling a holeshot 6.40/204.54 to beat Billy Campbell's quicker 6.34/225 in the first round. He did it again in round two, running 6.37/226.70 to beat Bill Pryor's 6.34/192. Unfortunately, they hurt some parts and were unable to run in the semifinal and Pryor was reinstated.
