Notes: Low qualifier at Sonoma 1993 (setting a new track record). | Mineo, 61, and four others, including three members of his family, died in September 2006 as the result of a high-speed boating accident on a Texas lake. News accounts reported Mineo's craft collided with another boat during a 100-mph poker run. - RT | Photo from Ennis 93. - RO | Mineo started the '93 season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. Unfortunately, his best of 5.88/187.57 was good for the second alternate spot. At the NHRA Motorcraft Nationals in Arizona, he qualified #14 with a 5.55/253.95. He beat Dale Pulde in the first round, with an off-pace 6.14/163.01. He broke in round two, giving Jim Epler a free ride into the semifinals. Gordon qualified #6 at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals with a 5.20/257.06. A troubled 6.14/166.29 beat an equally troubled Gary Densham at 7.40/104 in round one, but in round two he lost a motor against Brent Fanning and the resulting fire destroyed the Firebird body. He was OK. He had a new body installed in time for the NHRA Gatornationals. A 5.28/282.04 qualified #7. In the first round, Paul Smith fouled against him and Mineo advanced with a 5.68/222.99. He lost to Freddie Neely in round two.

Notes: Former Plueger and Gyger Mustang. Bill qualified #7 at Milan for the IHRA Northern Nationals with a 6.51. He lost to eventual winner Gary Burgin in the opening round. He did not run any NHRA national events in the funny car. | The year 1977 is one that Pryor would just as soon scratch from his memory. Pryor was spending the winters in sunny California working for Ed Donovan, and in late 1976, the team decided it was time for a new challenge. They purchased the national-record-holding Plueger & Gyger Mustang Funny Car and planned to spend 1977 match racing the Funny Car – refitted with a Camaro body - and running the national events with the dragster, but Pryor needed back surgery in April, scotching those plans. They hired Pat Dakin, Ron Correnti, and Ron O’Donnell to fill the match race dates to which they had committed until Pryor could get back on his feet. Then disaster struck again. As the team was loading up the car to leave Martin after Pryor's first race back, their generator exploded, and Pryor spent the next three weeks in a Kalamazoo, Mich., burn center and the remainder of 1977 recovering. The team sold the star-crossed Funny Car and concentrated again on Top Fuel. About the only good thing to come out of 1977 was the beginning of a long friendship with Pat Foster and Jim Hume, who had rebodied and retinned the Funny Car for him. - Phil Burgess, Dragster Insider, 9/30/08

Notes: Stock stroke motor. | Dale started the '80 season by winning the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona. He qualified #8 with a 6.12/238.09, and another 6.12 won his first-round race over Jim Dunn. In round two, he beat Hank Johnson with a 6.21. In the semifinals, he beat Kenny Bernstein and moved into the final against Ron Colson, who was driving the "Hawaiian." Dale won his second NHRA National event with a 6.25/238.72 that beat Colson, who crossed the centerline. He survived until the semifinals at the Bakersfield March Meet, where his 6.31/212.26 lost to Don Prudhomme's 6.04/233. The "War Eagle" was voted "best-appearing car" at the NHRA Gatornationals, and Pulde proved that it could go too by qualifying #7. His 6.13/232.55 advanced in the first round when Gordie Bonin crossed the centerline. He picked up to 6.07/239.36 in round two to beat Paul Smith. He faced Prudhomme in the semifinals, but an oil leak developed on the line, and he had to shut off. The following week (March 23), he was at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. It was an eight-car field, and Dale's 6.48 qualified #5. Once again, he ran well, beating low qualifier Smith in the first round and working his way to the final, where he faced Raymond Beadle in the "Blue Max." Dale had problems and shut down to an 11.52 while Beadle motored to the victory with a 6.06/237. It was pretty impressive that he at least made it into the semifinals at all these races. His next stop was at Rockingham for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. Pulde had an interesting qualifying run. He started to go into a wheelstand, and instead of easing off the throttle, he just shifted it into high gear to get the front wheels back down onto the track. When he did that, the fire extinguisher came loose and cracked him in the forehead. So, on that pass, he qualified #4 with a 6.14, and to boot, he got a nice-sized bump on his forehead. In the opening round of eliminations, he faced Shirl Greer, and both of them went up in smoke, but Pulde's back-peddling 6.35/221 beat Greer's 6.90/181. In the semifinals, he and opponent Billy Meyer went up in tire smoke again, but once again, Pulde came out on top. In the final, he faced Tripp Shumake in Johnny Loper's Arrow. Unfortunately, the "War Eagle" busted a rear end, and Tripp made an easy pass for the victory. Things didn't go as well at the NHRA Cajun Nationals, where his best of 6.19/243.24 (Top Speed and a new track record) failed to qualify. He was at Maple Grove for the Jungle Jim Memorial race in May. It was a six-car show with all the cars making two passes each and the two lowest ET meeting in the final. Dale ran 6.27/229.00 in his first race to beat Gary Burgin's 6.43/229, and a slightly quicker 6.26/232.55 won his second race over Bruce Larson. His ET was good enough to transfer into the final, where he would face Roy Harris, who had run 6.13 for a final-round appearance. But Roy had trouble in the semifinal, blowing an engine and turning the car into a fireball. He and his crew did an amazing job swapping out the engine and getting the car ready for the final with Pulde. But the final saw Harris get out of shape and cross the centerline while Dale improved again with a 6.24/222.22 for the victory. He did not run at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals as it was rained out until May 25. The next stop was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Dale qualified #2 with a 6.14/238.72, right behind Ron Colson in the "Hawaiian" at 6.12. He beat Bernstein in the first round, but in round two, he got out of shape against Ed McCulloch and shut off. The mile-high air of Denver gave the team some problems in qualifying for the eight-car show at the NHRA Mile High Nationals. Dale was one of many that failed to qualify. In July, the "War Eagle" was at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. Pulde's 6.10 qualified #7. He beat John Collins in the opening round before being shut off on the line in round two with a fuel leak. A week later (July 20), he was in Milan for the IHRA Northern Nationals. The team's performance was off here as they only qualified on the "bump" for the eight-car show and, in the first round, lost to John Pott in the "Mr. Norm" car. On July 27, Pulde showed up at Dragway 42 for the AHRA Grandnationals. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 6.12. In the first round, he took an easy win over alternate Don Nieves, who was in for Tom McEwen. In the semifinals, his 6.37 beat Collins. This set up a final-round meeting with #2 qualifier Prudhomme. Prudhomme had the edge during eliminations running 6.2s. Sure enough, the "Snake" scored a 6.23 in the final to win. Things took a turn for the better up in Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. The race was delayed for one week due to rain. Dale qualified #3 for the eight-car show with a 6.20/225.56. He had a bit of luck in round one, where he got crossed up, got off the gas, and then hammered it again, went into a wheelstand, and yet still ran 6.25! This beat Frank Mancuso, who fouled anyway. In the semifinals, a 6.19/237.46 beat Tim Grose who overpowered the track. In the final, he faced Dale Armstrong. Dale was tough as he had set Low ET in the first round, with a 6.10, and he won his semifinal race with a 6.15. In the final, Pulde ran his best of the weekend, 6.16 at 237.46. This got the win, while Armstrong must have hopped it up a bit and went into heavy tire smoke before shutting down. Usually, Dale would have been at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships, but the rain date for the Grandnationals conflicted with that. Pulde showed at New England for the NHRA Division 1 final on August 17. A 6.21/224.43 qualified #5 for the eight-car show. But this field was tough. In the first round, Pulde improved to 6.13/223.88, yet he lost to eventual winner Burgin's 6.01/240. Dale's best NHRA ET was a first-round 6.022 at the Summernationals, and the best speed was the 243.24 at the Cajuns. He also went 6.044 in qualifying at Indy.

Notes: At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, Tripp qualified on the "bump" with a 6.28/238.06. He beat Dale Pulde in the first round before breaking in round two and losing to John Force. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he ran 6.10/242.58 to qualify #14. A 6.11/238.72 in round one beat a tire-shaking Tim Grose, while in round two, his 6.27/237.46 beat Raymond Beadle's 6.31/230 in the "Blue Max." He fell off to a 6.75/174.75 in the semifinals that lost to Pulde's 6.33/223. He was at Green Valley on April 5 for the NHRA Western Regional, where he qualified #5 in the eight-car field. This set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Jim Dunn. Jim smoked the tires and shut off while Tripp advanced with a 6.92/221.67. In the semifinals, his 6.47 lost to eventual winner Tom Hoover's 6.25. Tripp won the Southern Nationals. His 5.989/226.70 in Atlanta was the 8th and final entry into the Cragar Five-Second Club for funny cars. It qualified him #2 behind Beadle's 5.96/230. His 6.10/233.76 beat Paul Smith, who shut down early in the "Entertainer" in the opening round. His opponent, Shirl Greer, smoked the tires in the semifinal, and Tripp ran 6.20/226.59 to advance. He faced Kenny Bernstein in the final, and Shumake's 6.07/233.76 got the victory over Bernstein's 6.08/243. Tripp qualified on the "bump" at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 6.26/224.43. In round one, his 6.36/222.22 fell to eventual winner Craig Epperly's 6.27/224. Shortly after that (June 27), he was in Sacramento for the NHRA Western Regional. A 6.55/214.80 qualified #7 in the eight-car field. He improved to 6.34/229.60 in the first round, but it wasn't enough as he lost to Tom Ridings' 6.28/225. The best NHRA national event speed was 242.58 at the Gatornationals.

Notes: One of the brightest, prettiest cars ever painted. Rob was at Bandimere on June 25 for the NHRA Division 5 race. He set Low ET at 6.31 and went on to win, running 6.35/231.95 (Top Speed) to beat Garth Widdison's 6.59/210 in the final. The best NHRA national event times were 6.328/230.76 at the Mile Highs. The team did not follow the Western tour in 1982. | Won NHRA Division 4 race at Green Valley, TX, over Dale Pulde in the War Eagle, 6.36/222.22 to 6.51/155. National Dragster indicated it was a brand-new car and that he almost lost it on an early qualifying pass but gathered it up and returned to win the event. | I have 5.92/248 in '82. Sorry, don't have locations. - Curt Swartz

Notes: Photo from Ennis. Listed times from Drag Racing List December 86/January 87, Volume 1, Number 9. | At Pomona, Gene's best of 7.81/176.12 failed to qualify for the NHRA Winternationals. He was the eighth alternate. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified on the "bump" with a 7.66/180.94. Fasching improved to a 7.64/181.29 in the first round, that beat Frank Iaconio's T-Bird. In the second round, he slowed to a 7.71/179.49 that lost to Gordie Rivera's 7.61/175. He failed to make the show at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals where he was fourth alternate with a 7.69/180.00 best. He skipped Baton Rouge, but was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Unfortunately, his best of 7.74/176.53 was fifth alternate. It wasn't until the NHRA Mile High Nationals before Gene qualified at another national event. At Denver his 8.11/168.76 qualified on the "bump" spot. An 8.25/166.05 lost in the first round, to Rivera's 8.07/170. Fasching ran NHRA Brainerd MN 8/86 (DNQ). He tried hard to qualify at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals, but his 7.70/181.48 fell short (tenth alternate). He was the ninth alternate at the Texas Motorplex for the NHRA Chief Nationals with a 7.75/178.42 best.

Notes: Set National Record ET at Fallnationals at 8.50. Low qualifier at World Finals at 8.61. Ran 8.550/157 at World Finals, defeating newly crowned world champion Don Nicholson in the final. Ran 8.72 at Pomona, 8.81 at Gainesville, 8.72 at Columbus, 8.64 at Englishtown, 8.63 at Indy, and 8.55 at Beech Bend. | Bob started the '77 season at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he ran 8.72/156.52 to qualify #3. He beat Mark Yuill in the first round, and in round two, he advanced when Randy Humphrey fouled. In the semifinals, he faced low qualifier Don Nicholson. "Dyno" grabbed a slight holeshot, and his 8.73/156 held on for the win over Bob's slightly quicker 8.72/157.89. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #4 with an 8.81. He lasted until the second round, where the Pinto broke on its burnout, giving Ken Dondero a solo into the semifinals. On April 24, he won the NHRA Division 3 race at Indianapolis. He stopped Wally Booth in the final with an 8.67/155.44 (Low ET and Top Speed). Glidden won the next Division 3 race held at Edgewater as well. He qualified #1 with an 8.68 and set Low ET and Top Speed with an 8.67/157.89. He beat Joe Satmary in the final. NHRA held its second annual Cajun Nationals at Baton Rouge, and once again, Glidden qualified #1 in the eight-car field with an 8.62/155.70. He got the "odd-lot" single in the first round and ran 8.70/156.79 (Top Speed). In the semifinals, an 8.64/156.79 beat Frank Iaconio, setting up a final-round meeting with Booth's AMC. In the final, Bob's 8.65/156.52 easily covered Wally's 8.73/153. It was his first NHRA National event win since the '76 Winternationals. A week after that (June 12), he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. An 8.72 qualified #5, but he lost early. At Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, Glidden just barely out-qualified Nicholson for the pole as both ran 8.64. Glidden beat Warren Johnson in round one, with an 8.68/156, but in round two, he had problems and slowed to 9.08/121 in a loss to Larry Lombardo's 8.66/156 in Bill Jenkins' Monza. He ended July with a win at the fourth NHRA Division 3 race held at Byron. He set Low ET and Top Speed in the final with an 8.69/155 that beat Satmary's Camaro at 8.91/152. He then followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the Grandnationals. He set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 for the eight-car field with an 8.58/156.79. An opening round 8.65 beat Iaconio's 8.79, and in the semifinals, he beat Booth's 8.68/153 with an 8.63/155.70. He faced Lombardo in the final. Larry had run a quicker 8.62 in his semifinal race, so it was close. But the Monza had problems in the final and slowed to 10.12/93 while Glidden chalked up another victory with an 8.63/156.52. Shortly after that (August 21), he was at Beech Bend for the final NHRA Division Three race. Bob set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with an 8.55/157.34. He worked his way into the final, where he faced Dave Avery. It wasn't much of a contest as Bob's 8.69/154.90 easily took the victory over Dave's 9.36/148. Then came the NHRA US Nationals at Indy. Bob wasn't pleased with this race during qualifying. He watched as Nicholson unloaded and proceeded to run an 8.61 with his "good" engine and then come back on Saturday to run 8.63 with a backup! Glidden did not want to be second. He made runs of 8.80, 8.72, 8.88, and finally, 8.67. But that was the closest he, or anyone else, could get to "Dyno." On race day, an opening-round 8.84/149 topped Bob ingles' 9.05/151. In round two, he improved to 8.63/156 to beat Richie Zul's 9.25/153. Another strong pass of 8.65/156.79 beat Frank Iaconio's 8.89/152 in the semis. That set up an all-Ford final with "Dyno." Don's winning semifinal time had been 8.72/155, so Bob now looked to have the edge. But in the final, the Pinto broke just off the line, slowing to 13.99, while Nicholson's 8.73 picked up the victory. We need validation of the third digit of the 8.50 at Seattle.

Notes: Frank won the 1979 NHRA Fallnationals on an 8.49/157.06 to 8.47 holeshot over Bob Glidden in the quickest Pro Stock race ever at the time. - CompetitionPlus. Also, it ran 160.14. | This is the year that Frank Iaconio broke out as the quickest of the Chevy Pro Stock contingent. He didn't run at Pomona, but at the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #3 with an 8.58/157.34. Unfortunately, he lost to Mark Yuill's 8.76/153 in the first round, with an off-pace 8.83/146.10. He then won the NHRA Division 1 race at Englishtown, stopping Larry Lombardo in the final. Frank also didn't run at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. He qualified #3 again at the NHRA Springnationals with an 8.68/155.70, and he beat Ronnie Sox with an 8.77/153.84, and an 8.79/154.10 in round two beat Kevin Rotty before fouling away an 8.84/150.25 against eventual winner Bob Glidden's 8.66/157 in the semifinals. Another NHRA Division 1 race win came on June 24 at Maryland International. Once again, he faced Lombardo in the final, and Frank's 8.64/154.63 got a close victory over Lombardo's 8.65/156. He skipped going to Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. On July 8, Iaconio went to Suffolk for the NHRA Division 2 race and came away with another win, stopping "Dyno" Don Nicholson in the final. The following week (July 15), things went really well for Frank at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. He picked up his second career NHRA Pro Stock title. He qualified #2 behind Glidden, and these two would work their way to the final. Frank started by beating Sox with an 8.62. His 8.58 took out Lee Shepherd in round two, and a semifinal 8.61 beat Wally Booth. He had Bob concerned enough in the final that Bob fouled, and Iaconio ran 8.60/156.52 for the victory. Nicholson stopped Iaconio in the final at Maryland International's US Pro Stock Open, but Frank was strong there, running low 8.7's. He then traveled up to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. It was an eight-car show, and his 8.57/157.34 qualified #2 behind that Arrow from Whiteland, Indiana. It would come down to another final round showdown between these two. Frank had run 8.60 and 8.48 to beat Ronnie Manchester and Lombardo to reach the final. Glidden had lane choice with an 8.46 in his semifinal win. Frank ran a good 8.53, but it wasn't enough as Glidden won with an 8.47. He took some comfort by winning the fourth NHRA Division One race at Maple Grove shortly after that. He beat surprise finalist Larry Sengstack. He also won the final Division One race held in New England. There he also set Low ET and Top Speed at 8.64/155.97. His next stop was at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. Frank's 8.58/160.42 (Top Speed) qualified second behind Glidden's 8.58/158. In the opening round of eliminations, he beat Booth. But in round two, he was upset by Lombardo. Larry's 8.67 beat his slightly quicker 8.66. That was a tough loss for Iaconio. He made up for it at Seattle for the NHRA Fallnationals. Once again, he qualified #2 with his 8.48/157.89 following Bob's 8.46/159. A first-round 8.54/151.00 stopped Lee Hunter, and in the second round, his 8.52/156.79 beat Lee Shepherd's 8.64/155. In the semifinals, he quickened his pace to 8.48/157.06 to put Joe Satmary's 8.68/154 Camaro on the trailer. Glidden had run just a tick quicker in his semifinal race, an 8.47/157. So the final was close. And was it ever! Frank got out ever so slightly on the Mopar, and his 8.49/157.06 held on for the victory over Bob's closing in 8.47/158.

Notes: I believe this is the Monza the Bill Jenkins borrowed for Larry Lombardo to drive after wrecking their Monza earlier. SRD built both cars. The photo has an SRD decal above the tail light as well.

Notes: NHRA Pro Stock Champion. Ran 8.52 NHRA record in August 77. Won Gators, Springs, Indy, 8.572 at Englishtown for a new record (and his best national event ET). Ran 8.70/157.61 at Pomona, 8.64 at Gainesville, 8.68 at Columbus, 8.61 at Indy, 8.58 at Seattle. | "Dyno Don" returned to his winning ways in '77. After concentrating heavily on his match race program in '76, he returned to NHRA competition for '77. He did not race at the AHRA Winternationals, but at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, he showed that he could still run with the "big dogs" by qualifying #1 with an 8.70/158.17. He beat Ken Dondero driving the "Gapp and Roush" Pinto in the first round, with an 8.90/155.97. In round two his 8.73/155.17 beat Kevin Rotty and a semifinal 8.73/156.25 took out Bob Glidden's slightly quicker 8.72/157. In the final he faced Larry Lombardo driving Bill Jenkins' Monza. Larry had run 8.65 in his semifinal race and that must have had Don a little nervous at the fouled away an 8.77/157.61 while Lombardo got the victory with an 8.61/158. "Dyno" then went to Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals where once again he qualified #1, this time with an 8.65/155.90. He stayed in the 8.6s in the first two rounds with runs of 8.66/157.61 (Top Speed) and 8.65 to beat Gordie Rivera and Dale Evans. Don slowed to 8.74/157.34 in the semifinals when Lombardo fouled against him. He was supposed to meet Wally Booth in the final, but Booth had blown his engine while beating Dondero in the semifinals, and he was unable to swap in another engine for the final. Don got to run a solo for the win, but he still put his foot into it and set Low ET with an 8.64/157 for the victory. The following week (March 20), he was at LaPlace for the NHRA Division 4 opener. To say he did well was an understatement. He qualified #1, set Top Speed and Low ET (8.67) and he beat Richie Zul in the "Reher-Morrison" Monza in the final with an 8.69/153.06 for the title. Another win came at Warner Robins on March 27 for the NHRA Division 2 opener. He qualified #4 at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals with an 8.70, but he was unable to stick around after the rain delay. Another major win came at the NHRA Springnationals. His 8.68 qualified #3 and in the final, his 8.78/153.06 beat Frank Iaconio's 8.80/153. At the second NHRA Division 2 race at Blaney, Nicholson picked up another win. Englishtown was the next stop on the NHRA tour for the Summernationals and Don's 8.64/157.06 qualified #2. He improved to 8.58/157 in the first round, over Bob Ingles while an 8.57 got around Zul in round two. In the semifinals, Don was late off the line and his 8.67 lost to Iaconio's 8.75. Nicholson followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. He qualified #2 in the eight-car field with an 8.67, but he lost to Warren Johnson in the first round. Don returned to his winning ways at Suffolk for the next NHRA Division 2 race. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with an 8.66 and then ran 8.98/147.29 in the first round, over Roy Hill who broke. In the semifinals, he got an "odd-lot" solo and ran 8.67. This put him into the final against Ingles. "Dyno" wrapped it up with an 8.66/155.97 (Top Speed). At this point in the year, the points chase appeared to be Nicholson vs. Lombardo with Glidden closing from the rear. So, Don made a trip to New England for the NHRA Division 1 points race. This was made to stop Lombardo from winning the race and getting the points. It paid off as not only did "Dyno" win (beating Lombardo in the final), but his final round 8.52 was a new NHRA record, giving him some much-needed points. He then went to Gainesville where he also won the NHRA Division 2 final. Then came Indy, where Nicholson scored his biggest win of the year at the NHRA US Nationals. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 with an 8.61 and then ran 8.67/155 over Jerry Haas and 8.74/155 over a fouling Johnson in round two. A semifinal 8.72/155 beat points rival Lombardo, and then he went up against a rejuvenated Glidden, who was running strong and closing in on the points gap between him and Lombardo/Nicholson. Glidden broke in the final and "Dyno" got the victory with an 8.73/154. Don’s best speed this year was a 158.73 at the Cajun Nationals.

Notes: The team started the NHRA season at Gainesville but was the first alternate at 8.74/154.37. Sonny was at Baton Rouge in April for the NHRA Cajun Nationals. He qualified #7 in the eight-car field with an 8.588 (no speed reported). That was impressive as he out-qualified Bill Jenkins and non-qualifiers "Dyno Don" Nicholson and Joe Satmary. Unfortunately, his ailing 9.49/103.32 in the opening round lost to Kevin Rotty's 8.54/158. On May 18, he was at Amarillo for the NHRA Division Four race. He reached the final, where his 8.95/152.67 finished runner-up to Lee Shepherd's 8.83/155. At Columbus, for the NHRA Springnationals, his 8.83/155.17 qualified #14. In the first round, his 8.70/154.37 lost to Ronnie Sox's 8.75/155.44 holeshot (need to confirm that we don't have those times swapped - that's what the NHRA sheets say). Car was former Sox & Martin machine. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the year.
