Notes: Stuart qualified #14 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 5.894/254.52. A first-round 5.707/254.66 lost to Connie Kalitta's 5.53/256. That was the team's only NHRA national event this year. | Stuart was the Runner up at the Fuel & Gas Championships in Bakersfield. | We need to confirm what year the team ran the 5.635. If it was 1985, we need updated times for 1986. |

Notes: Samolyk was in Atlanta in March for the NHRA Division 2 race. The race was postponed for one week, and only three cars returned. He was one of them, but he crossed the centerline while racing against Porter Donn in the first round and was disqualified. He qualified #7 at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals with a 6.35/219.19. An opening round 6.56/217.02 fell to Terry Mullins' 6.65/211. In May, he was at Maple Grove for its Spring Funny Car Nationals but shut off with heavy tire shake in the first round. John attempted to qualify at National Trail for the NHRA Springnationals, but his 6.60/207.80 best was good for the first alternate. The following week (June 21), he was at Maple Grove for the NHRA Division 1 race. He qualified #5 in the eight-car field with a 6.48/205.01, but in the first round, his 6.51/208.81 lost to low qualifier Frank Manzo's 6.43/214. He was at Englishtown in July for the NHRA Summernationals. Qualifying wasn't much of an issue as only fourteen cars attempted to qualify for the sixteen-car field. His 6.56/212.81 got him the #8 spot in the field. In round one, he improved to 6.49/212.81 to beat low qualifier Peter Gallen at 6.56/217. He got the "odd-lot" solo in round two and advanced with a 6.48/212.66. Another 6.48 at 212.21 beat Carol Burkett's 6.54/215 in the semifinals. He faced another woman driver in the final, Carol Henson. John’s times were about a tenth better than Henson had been running. Carol’s car broke, and Samolyk ran his best time of the weekend, a 6.42/213.32, for the victory. John ran 6.407/218.39 at NHRA Indianapolis IN 9/87.Photo from Columbus 1987. |
