Notes: Kenny's first year with Budweiser sponsorship. He crashed the brand new car at the press conference. Kenny started the '80 season with a runner-up finish to Don Prudhomme at the OCIR Super Bowl of Drag Racing event. At the NHRA Winternationals, he qualified #2 with a 6.06/233.16. He lost to Dale Pulde when he hit the guardrail in the first round. He got out of shape, crossed the centerline, and hit the rail. He was OK, but the Arrow body was wrecked. Bernstein went to Famoso for the Bakersfield March Meet but failed to reach the finals. A 6.06 qualified #4 at the NHRA Gatornationals, but he slept in the first round, and his 6.18/232.55 lost to Tom Hoover's 6.24/229. A week later (March 23), he was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals, but he failed to qualify for the eight-car field. He was at Rockingham on April 20 for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. His 6.12/228 qualified #1 for the eight-car field. In his first-round race against Billy Meyer, Bernstein accidentally shirted back into low gear, and he lost to Meyer's 6.15. The following week, he qualified #5 at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals, running 6.11/241.93 for the spot. It was an eight-car show, and by qualifying #5, it set up a first-round race with low qualifier Paul Smith in Larry Coogle's "Sting" Firebird. Paul won the race when Bernstein smoked the tires and shut off. On May 4, he was runner-up to Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max" at the rain-delayed IHRA Dixie Nationals. At Bristol for another rain-delayed event, the IHRA Springnationals, he qualified #3 in the eight-car show with a 6.21. He lasted until the semifinals, where his 6.59 lost to eventual winner Meyer's 6.44. The "Budweiser King" wasn't running that well at the NHRA Springnationals, only qualifying #10 with a 6.22/232.55. He lost to Dale Pulde in the first round. He also lost in the first round at the next NHRA race, the Mile High Nationals in Denver. Kenny qualified #7 in the eight-car show, but his 6.57/225.00 in the first round lost to Beadle's 6.29/226. He then went to Alamo Dragway in San Antonio, Texas, for the AHRA Nationals. It was another eight-car field, and his 6.33 qualified #5, setting up a first-round encounter with low qualifier Prudhomme. It was a close race, but the "Snake's" 6.19 beat Kenny's 6.20. He won the NHRA Division 2 race at Blaney, beating John Speelman in the final with a 6.43/233.16 (Top Speed and a new track record). He earlier had set Low ET at 6.37. At Englishtown, he qualified poorly, only running 6.14/237.46 for the #11 spot, and in the first round, he lost to Prudhomme. Early in August, he was at Bristol for the IHRA Summernationals. He qualified #7 in the eight-car field with a 6.52, but in round one, he smoked the tires to a shut-off 12.40 that lost to Roy Harris' 6.30/236. Kenny was at Maple Grove for the NHRA Division 1 race. He ran well, making it into the final against future crew chief Dale Armstrong, but he had problems and shut off, giving Dale's 6.20/231 the victory. Kenny was disappointed at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals, where his 6.15 best failed to qualify for the race that had a 6.10 "bump." Ray Alley then came on board to help with the car for the NHRA Fallnationals at Seattle. Kenny was the first to tell you that Alley "knew his stuff" as the car responded by running a career-best 6.002 at 239.36 to qualify low for the field. However, things didn't go so rosy in eliminations, as Bernstein's 6.61/214.28 in the first round lost to Armstrong's 6.62/180. Kenny wrapped up the year at the NHRA Finals in Ontario. He qualified #13 at 6.251/224.90 (243.90?) and bat Dale Pulde in round one, 6.585/220.04 to 6.79/207. In round two, he lost to eventual winner Ron Colson, 6.21/233 to 6.304/227.84.

Notes: Followed Joe Amato into the 260 mph zone by minutes. He also ran a nice 5.80/255.68 at IHRA Cincinnati. | Bernstein ran well in '84, becoming the first Funny Car driver to run 260. He benefited from wind tunnel testing the previous December. He ended up finishing third in the NHRA year-long points chase and if it were not for Sherm Gunn, he may have finished higher. Gunn beat Bernstein in the first round, three times on the NHRA tour. Still, with the addition of an on-board computer to aid crew chief Dale Armstrong, Kenny was always a threat to win. He started the season by winning the Super Bowl of Drag Racing at Firebird Raceway in January. A final round 5.98/248.61 beat Tom McEwen's 6.07/236. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he qualified #1 with a 5.83 (Low ET) at 252.80. Unfortunately, a first-round 5.90/251.91 lost to John Force's 5.89/247. He made history at the next event, the NHRA Gatornationals in March. He qualified #2 with a 5.78/256.41. In the first round, he beat Tom Anderson with a 5.84/256.41. Round two saw his 5.79/257.87 advance when Mark Oswald broke, and in the semifinals, a 5.79/256.41 beat a tire-smoking Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max." In the final, he ran his historic 5.80/260.11 to win over John Collins' 5.92/245. This was the last 260 mph run he would make this season as well as his only NHRA win of '84. At Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals, a 5.88/254.23 qualified #2, and he lasted until round two, where McEwen's 5.87/245 put the Tempo's 6.04/245 on the trailer. At Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals, Kenny qualified #1 with a 5.78/255.68. He made it into the final where he ran 5.80/254.23 for the runner-up spot to Billy Meyer's 5.73/252. He was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships and ran well, but failed to make the finals. At the NHRA Cajun Nationals, he qualified fourth in the field and lost in the second round when he smoked to tires and lost to Meyer. He lost in the first round, at the IHRA Springnationals where he qualified #5 in the sixteen-car field with a 5.83/250. Once again, he smoked the tires, this time losing to Sherm Gunn in the first round. Another first-round loss came at the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #4 with a 5.84/252.10, but in the first round, smoked the tires and lost to Gunn. At the NHRA Grandnationals in Canada, a 5.96/252.80 qualified #12, but once again, he lost early. Things went better the following week (July 8) at Milan for the IHRA Northern Nationals where he won by beating Don Prudhomme in the final. He qualified #6 with a 5.78/249. In the opening round, his 5.99/205 beat Scott Kalitta and a second-round 5.77/251 beat a tire-smoking Tim Grose. He got a bit of a holeshot in the semifinals that saw his 5.81/255.68 beat Jim Head's slightly quicker 5.80/257. A final round 5.81/257.87 beat the "Snake's" 5.89/236. At Englishtown on July 15 for the NHRA Summernationals, he qualified #5 with a 5.79, but broke a reverser after his burnout in the semifinals. This gave eventual winner Beadle a single into the final. At Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals, he again made it as far as the semis before losing. On August 5, Kenny won his second IHRA event, the Summernationals at Edgewater Park near Cincinnati. He beat Oswald in the final with a 5.80/255.68 to Mark's 5.84/251. Mark got one back at the next race, the NHRA Northstar Nationals at Brainerd, where he stopped Bernstein in the semifinals. At Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals, Kenny qualified #2 with a 5.73/249.89, but he failed to reach the finals. The Budweiser King team had made enough points in qualifying at NHRA national events to be able to run in the Big Bud Shootout at Indianapolis. It was an eight-car affair and in the first round, Kenny's 5.95/247.93 beat Dale Pulde's 5.97/246. In the semifinals, his 5.91/252.10 lost to McEwen's 5.84/254. For the running of the NHRA US Nationals, Kenny qualified for the field with a 5.78/257.14 (#7). He beat a tire-smoking Gunn in the first round, with a 5.91 and in round two, a 5.84/249.30 beat Meyer who also smoked the tires. In the semifinals, a 5.74/250.69 advanced when Frank Hawley got out of shape in the "Chi-Town Hustler" and almost smacked the guardrail. In the final, he had problems and slowed to a 15.24/50.81 that lost to Head's 5.96/254. A week later, he was at Bristol for the IHRA Fallnationals, where once again he ran well, but failed to reach the finals. Best NHRA ET was a 5.747 in round 3 at Indy.

Notes: Long Nose 85/86. Photo from Milan, MI, IHRA Northern Nats 85. Set NHRA ET records at 5.646 at 85 Gators and 5.569 at 1985 Maple Grove. Low qualifier at 1985 Gators with a 5.672. Ran 258.76 at 85 World Finals. | Kenny started the season at Firebird Raceway's Super Bowl of Drag Racing in January. He qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a new track record 5.74 at 248.61 (Top Speed). Kenny made his way into the final by beating Tom McEwen with a 5.84/248.61 and a tire-smoking single in the semifinals when Paul Smith was unable to run after a first-round fire. He met John Collins in the final and the "Budweiser King's" reverser failed so Collins got to solo for the victory. The following week, he was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His 5.74/254.09 qualified #4 and in round one, a 5.80/259 beat Jim Head. Bernstein ran a career-best (to this point) 5.67 at 235.60 in round two, but he lost to Rick Johnson who was running a 5.58/263 in the "Hawaiian." He was in Atlanta for an eight-car show in March where his 5.81/250.00 qualified in the #2 spot. In the first round, Mark Oswald stepped up from a qualifying 5.91 to a 5.72/248 in the "Candies and Hughes" car to beat his 5.85/249.30. Things clicked for the team at the NHRA Gatornationals. Kenny qualified #1 with a 5.67/261.78 (Top Speed). Frank Hawley broke a transmission in the first round, in the "Chi-Town Hustler" and Bernstein advanced with a 6.25/226.92. In round two, his 5.71/251.81 beat Tom Hoover and a semifinal NHRA record-setting 5.64 at 256.70 took out Collins' tire shaking Camaro. He faced John Lombardo driving Raymond Beadle's "Blue Max" in the final. John had problems and shut down while Kenny ran 5.70/254.09 for the win. His next stop was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. Once again, he ran well, lasting until the semifinals where his 5.80/247 lost to Oswald's 5.78/260. Another NHRA title came at Atlanta for the Southern Nationals in April. Kenny's 5.72/254.09 qualified #1, and he worked his way to the final by stopping a tire-smoking Dale Pulde in the first round, with a 5.81/249.03. In round two, a 5.80/249.58 ended Jody Smart's chances and a 5.75/254.66 got around Don Prudhomme's off-pace 6.12/204 in the semifinals. His final-round opponent was Ed "the Ace" McCulloch. There was no stopping Bernstein on this day as his track record 5.69 at 252.95 got the victory over Ed's 5.81/247. While he was running strong in NHRA, he was still not able to reach the final in IHRA competition. At the second race of the season, the Pro-Am Championships at Rockingham, he got another semifinal finish when Billy Meyer's 5.88/250 beat his 5.95/243. Bernstein's next stop was at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. His 5.74/247.93 qualified #2 behind Pulde's similar 5.74/251. He beat McCulloch in round one, with a 5.83/243.90. In round two, a 5.76/245.49 beat Oswald, but in the semifinals, Kenny lost an engine on a 6.09/185 pass that beat a tire-smoking John Force. The team replaced the engine for the final where he ran Head. Something wasn't, buttoned up right as the "Budweiser King" broke on the line and Head soloed for the race win. His IHRA semifinal streak continued at Bristol for the Springnationals. There, he set Low ET in the semifinals with a 5.66 at 258, but he lost to eventual winner Pulde whose quick-leaving 5.69/257 won. Things were better at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. He qualified #1 at 5.75/248.48, and then a track record 5.73 at 251 beat Al Segrini and in round two, his 5.74/249.03 got around a tire spinning Pulde. Another 5.74 at 248.48 beat an out of shape Prudhomme in the semifinals. This matched Kenny up against Texas neighbor Meyer in the final. Billy overpowered the track and went up in smoke while Bernstein won his third NHRA race of the season with a 5.81/251.25. The team's next stop was at Maple Grove for the Super Stock Magazine Nationals. Kenny's 5.67/249.30 (Top Speed) qualified #2 behind Pulde's 5.66/249. In the first round, Bernstein set Low ET with a track record 5.65 at 249.30 to beat Chuck Etchells. A semifinal 5.78/243.24 advanced over Tim Grose. This paired him up against Pulde in the final. Kenny had traction issues and Pulde won with a 5.90/247. Another runner-up finish came at the NHRA Grandnationals. There, he only ran 5.85/246.94 to qualify #10. Both he and Grose ran 5.84 (the Bud car at 244.96), but Kenny got the win light. In round two, Oswald fouled against him and Kenny blew an engine while advancing with a 5.85/240.12. The team swapped out a new engine for the semifinal and it improved the car to a 5.69/252.52 to beat Prudhomme's 5.80/256. He faced Johnson in the final and despite running a 5.79/250.13, Rick picked up his first NHRA National event victory with a 5.72/260. The following week (July 7), he had some bad luck at Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. He qualified #4 for the show, but attempted another run. Something let go and the car turned into a fireball. Kenny got it stopped and was OK, but the car was damaged badly and was unable to run in eliminations. With a team this strong, they didn't miss a beat, showing up at Englishtown the next week for the NHRA Summernationals. Bernstein set Low ET with a track record 5.62 at 234 in qualifying number one. He then ran 5.90, 5.85, and 5.76 at 249.58 to beat McEwen, Pulde, and John Force (in that order). In the final, he went up against Grose, and Bernstein's 5.77/249.58 scored the win over Grose's 5.80/250. Best NHRA times were the 5.569 at Maple Grove and 261.78 at the Gators. Ran 5.714/250.69 in winning IHRA Cincinnati over Dale Pulde, snapping Dale's four-win streak.

Notes: Number four qualifier at the 1978 Winters at 6.224/234.98. | As mentioned, he qualified #4 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, and in the opening round of eliminations, his 6.39/229 beat Ron Colson in the "Hawaiian." But in the second round, both he and Tom Prock smoked the tires with Prock's 7.36/217 beating his 7.30/222 to the stripe. His next stop was at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. He had won the race in '77 and was hoping to repeat—a 6.30/238.72 qualified #4. In the first round, his 6.43/233.76 beat Prock's 6.46/226. He got no time slip in round two but still won his race against Shirl Greer. His speed on that pass was 234.37. The car failed to fire for his semifinal race against Billy Meyer. It was later diagnosed to a broken lead from the magneto. He was at Bakersfield for the March Meet, where his first-round 6.29/229.00 lost to Ed McCulloch's 6.37/232. On April 8th, he was at Seattle for its Funny Car Opener. But once again, he lost in the opening round. This time, his 6.75/222.22 lost to Hank Johnson's 6.41/214. The NHRA Division Six Opener was held in Seattle on May 7. Bonin qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 6.19/234.98. That was impressive, considering that he out-qualified Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen, McCulloch, and others. In round one, his 6.44/231.95 beat Jim Dunn's troubled 11.31. But in the semifinal, his 6.41/230.76 lost to McEwen's 6.22/216. Firebird Raceway hosted the next NHRA Division Six race on May 21. Once again, Bonin qualified well, running 6.46 to get the #2 position behind Prudhomme's 6.24. But an off-pace 6.61/223.24 in the first round, lost to Twig Zeigler's 6.48/214. Shortly after that, he was at Edmonton International for its season opener. Eight cars ran two rounds of racing that had the two Low ET cars come back and race for the title. Gordie's 6.56/219.51 over Zeigler held for a final round birth. He faced McCulloch, whose 6.62 was the second-lowest time. The final was close, but McCulloch's 6.54/220 got the victory over Bonin's 6.60/214.28. In June, Bonin was at Cayuga for a best of three match race against Prudhomme. Being on his home turf didn't seem to help as he lost all three races to the "Snake." Don ran 6.3's on every pass while Gordie's best was 6.55/227.84. The other two runs were 6.86/161.29 and 6.84/218.97. He ran much better at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, where his 6.29/233.76 qualified #10. But a first-round 6.49/223.32 lost to Tom McEwen's 6.31/216. He was runner-up to John Lombardo at the OCIR Nitro Championships on July 1st, and a week later (July 9), he won the fourth NHRA Division Six race held at Woodburn. There he qualified #1 with a 6.45. An easy 6.73/229.00 beat alternate Paul Luppy in round one, was followed by a 6.43/231.36 in the semifinal that beat Mike Miller's 6.65/213. He set Low ET and a Top Speed in the final with a 6.40/231.95 that beat Nick Harmon. He barely made the field at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. His 6.30/234.37 qualified on the "bump." In the first round, Gary Burgin slowed to 6.40/231, and Bonin's 6.29/236.22 slipped past. But despite running his best time of the weekend, a 6.18/238.72 in round two, he lost to Lombardo's 6.12/236. Portland held its big 32 car show in August. All cars were to make two runs, with the two lowest ETs meeting in the final. Bonin made a good account of himself, running 6.36 and 6.32 (both at 231)to beat Bryan Raines and Jim Moore. His times were not good enough to advance to the final. He did not race at the NHRA Grandnationals. Bonin qualified #15 at Ontario for the NHRA World Finals with a 6.24/235.60. A quick-leaving 6.28/234.37 beat John Force's 6.22/227 in the opening round, and in round two, opponent Billy Meyer lost a blower on the line, and Bonin's 6.41/233.16 advanced. He was stopped by Tom McEwen's 6.22/234 in the semifinals that beat his 6.29/236.22.

Notes: Jenner had nothing to do with this car. It was Ron Hodgson and Verheul. The car was new in 1980. Still, it was the same setup as the 1979 car, and it was an Al Swindahl Chassis Components car. There were two cars. One stayed in Canada and was pulled around to shows. The other one was a national event car. When we ran the tour deal in the NW (Portland, Boise, Edmonton, Seattle), we ran both cars and got twice the money. Frank Hall usually drove the local car. Leon Lippoldt - crew member | Qualified #6 at Bakersfield at 6.342/220.04. At Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals, Bonin qualified #1 with a 6.68/223. A 6.65/219 beat John Collins' 6.77/216 in the first round, while he beat a tire-smoking Gary Densham in the semifinals. This put Gordie in the final against Kenny Bernstein. As you can tell by the times, traction was poor, and in the final, Bernstein set Low ET with a 6.54/214 to get the victory over Bonin's runner-up 6.68/202 effort. The team then went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where a 6.18 qualified #6. Unfortunately, they lost to Bryan Raines in the first round. As mentioned, they qualified #6 at Bakersfield for the sixteen-car show. But Bonin broke the tires loose in round one, and his shut off 7.15 run lost to Densham's 6.52/224. Everything lined up the following week (March 15) at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Gordie ran 5.97/245.23 to qualify #3 (tough show!) He ran an easy 6.24/237.46 to advance past a fouling Shirl Greer in the first round. A second-round 6.16/242.58 beat Fuzz Miller and a 6.12/243.24 in the semifinal beat Bernstein. In the final, he was up against Dale Pulde in the "War Eagle." It was a good close race, but Bonin's 6.18/241.28 got the victory over Dale's 6.21/223.

Notes: Caminito was at Maple Grove in May for its Spring Funny Car Nationals. All cars there ran two rounds, with the two lowest ET's meeting in the final. While he failed to reach the final, he did have an interesting run in the first round. His parachute had fallen out, and he still ran 6.36 at 149.50. Jerry went to Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals, but his 6.371/218.44 best failed to qualify. He also failed to qualify at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals with a similar 6.317/222.22. Jerry ran his first "five" in attempting to qualify at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. Unfortunately, his 5.949/247.25 ended up as the first alternate for the show. That was Jerry's last NHRA national event for the year.

Notes: Jerry started his season at Gainesville, where he was the sixth alternate at 7.10/131. Jerry attempted to qualify at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, but he was the first alternate with the best of 6.009/222.22. He failed to qualify at the NHRA US Nationals (fifth alternate at 6.033/242.58) and at the NHRA Keystone Nationals, where the best he could get the car to run down the track was 16.46/31.80. He continued to have problems at Englishtown for the US All-Pro Funny Car Championships when he lost to Bruce Larson's 5.85 in the first round, when he shut off to 11.21/75.50. Caminito later came back out in a consolation race and ran 6.10/221.13. | Can't remember where he ran the 5.86/250 numbers, specifically, only that it was listed in a "United Drag Racer" paper we picked up from Della Woods' trailer at Martin that year. - Curt Swartz
