Notes: Glenn qualified the Cavalieri Racing car #12 at Brainerd at 5.391/275.81. He lost in round one to Del Worsham, 5.023/302.72 to 9.319/76.81. Glenn was the fourth alternate at NHRA Indy at 5.424/270.27. He ran 5.18 at Memphis and quicker in the remainder of the season, but we think those runs were in Paul Gratton's car. We need to confirm that.rnrnPhoto from 1998 US Nationals. |

Notes: Walt qualified second at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.64/198.67 behind Mark Pieri's 7.57/201. Another 7.64 at 198.23 in the opening round beat Mike Snively's 7.70/193. In the second round, he fouled against Cliff Smith. He set Low ET in qualifying #1 at the Bakersfield March Meet. He then ran 7.45/200 in the first round over Jack Jones, and in round two, his 7.49/198.23 defeated Don Hampton. Rhoades got an easy pass in the semifinal, where Walt Stevens fouled against him. He faced Don Enriquez in the final, and there was no stopping the "Gas House Gang" as his 7.47/201.84 (Top Speed) got the victory. Shortly after that (March 16), he was at Riverside for the HRM Championships. This was an eight-car field, and his 7.75/200.00 (Top Speed) qualified #4. Art LaColst fouled against him in round one, and Walt advanced with a 7.97/156.52. In the semifinal, he and Jones had a great race that saw both drivers run 7.64 (Rhoades at 197.80), but Jack got the "win" light. He was at OCIR on May 10 for an eight-car show. A 7.65 qualified #4, and in round one, he ran 7.89/158.73 to advance when Norm Wilcox fouled. In the semifinal, Dick Rosberg's late 7.72/198 fell to his 7.74/198.66. He faced Jones in the final, and Jack caught an excellent light, and his 7.64/195 beat Walt's better 7.61/200. He also ran 7.65 at the Springnats in Dallas and 7.59/195.22 at the Indy Nationals. |

Notes: Ongais was one of the best "raw" drivers. He was never "rattled" and seldom fouled. If your car was down on hp, he more than made up for it on the line with his starting line prowess. Danny won more at Carlsbad than anywhere else. On July 1, he was there for an eight-car show, which he won with a 7.58/205.00 (Low ET and Top Speed) in beating Tommy Allen in the final. The following day, he went to Irwindale for another eight-car show. His 7.72 in qualifying failed to make the show, but Steve Carbone qualified but broke, so Danny took his place. He improved to 7.68/200.88 in the opening round to beat Paul Sutherland's 7.98/190. Tom McEwen fouled against him in the semifinal and a 10.19/150.00 advanced. He faced John Mulligan in the final, and Ongais fouled while Mulligan ran 7.64 for the win. On July 9, he was back at Irwindale for another eight-car show. A 7.53/203.60 defeated Bob Mayer in round one, and he beat Herb Ries with another 7.53 at 201.34 in the semifinal. He lined up next to Mulligan for the second week in a row for the title. This time, a broken clutch kept him from giving Mulligan a race. He was doing well at the weekly TF shows, but the wins were eluding him, even at Carlsbad on August 5, where although his 8.11/191.08 in the semifinal had won when Jeep Hampshire broke, a blown engine kept him from lining up against Allen in the final. At Indy, for the NHRA Nationals, he ran 7.49/207.36 to qualify #6. On Sunday, he ran 7.57/181.08 in the opening round to beat McEwen's 7.81/201. In the second round, Marvin Schwartz's better 7.41/207 lost to Ongais' 7.47/210.76. In the semifinal, The "Ramchargers" car driven by Don Westerdale failed to fire, so Danny advanced to the final against Don Prudhomme. A quick 7.46/207.36 beat the "Snake's" 7.60/197 and gave Ongais the sit-out position to race the winner of Monday's eliminations. The "Hawaiian," with Mike Snively driving, won the title on Monday and then beat Ongais for the Nationals title, 7.32/215 to 7.448/208.32, after Danny fouled. Shortly after that (September 16), he was at Carlsbad, where he set Low ET before fouling against Leroy Goldstein in the semifinal. The following day was not a good one. He was at Irwindale for an eight-car show, and after running a 7.62/172, the engine "let go." The dragster ran over parts from the engine, got sideways, and then rolled through the lights. The chassis broke into three pieces, with the roll cage staying intact. Ongais was alright, but the car was history. Tom Hanna body. |
