Notes: Charlie was still running the Dart on Jan 4 when he showed up at OCIR for the first All-Pro race. In the first round, he beat alternate Don Schumacher who broke a driveshaft with a 7.49/175.09. In the semifinals, he advanced with a 7.45/175.43 when Dave Beebe broke in the "Dodge Fever" car. Unfortunately, in the final against Gene Conway, Allen's transmission let go. |

Notes: Charlie's Charger was in the northwest for most of its existence 'cuz Charlie was in the Army at Fort Lewis. It ran constantly and won nearly every race all of 1971 except the NHRA WCS events - Jerry Ruth won all five. The Charger set the first Funny Car speed record over 220 that year, a 222.22 at Mission, B.C. Hard to forget that number. - Phil Elliott | Charlie Allen claimed both ends of the Funny Car record at 6.82/222.22. - NHRA | Ran 6.82 at Fremont 6/71 (National Record) |At the rain-delayed Fremont Northern Nationals, Allen qualified with a 7.71/142.85. But he was unable to make it back for the race's rain date. On May 1st, he was at Seattle for an eight-car show, but he broke a rear end in the first round. Shortly after that, he was at Deer Park for the NHRA Division 6 race. Eventual winner Jerry Ruth's 7.11/204 beat his 7.17/196.92. He made it into the final at the next NHRA Division 6 race held at Bremerton on May 23. Allen qualified #1 with a 7.03. Only six cars showed, and in the first round, he soloed. In the semifinals, his 7.57/207.84 beat Glen Foster. He went up against Ruth in the final, and his car broke at half-track while Ruth bagged another one with a 6.78. Charlie won the KJR Drag Festival in Seattle on June 20. He beat Jerry Ruth in the final with a 6.81/221. |

Notes: Alley literally tore the roof off his three-week-old Charger at Irwindale on August 25. According to the 9/01/67 National Dragster, this occurred when his throttle stuck during a qualifying pass, resulting in a wide-open run that ended a full 1/8th mile past the finish line. He turned Low ET of 8.19 of the event in the process and returned to participate in eliminations, topless. - RT | Ran 8.62 and 8.77 at OCIR Mfg. Meet 11/25/67. Ran 8.19 at Irwindale. - DC | This car took a long time to build. Alley had wanted to have the first Charger Funny Car, but problems held the car back and it actually took 18 months to get finished. The frame was designed by Ray and Bob Brown, but the final welding was done by Don Long. The wheelbase was 118" and it used an Olds rear axle with 3.90 gears. Of course, Alley’s company, Engine Masters, built the TorqueFlite transmission. The engine was an early 354 Hemi built by Dave Cole. Ed Pink line-bored the block. The crank was a standard Chrysler unit. M/T rods and Venolia 7:1 pistons were used. Chet Herbert supplied the cam. The heads were ported and polished by Lockerman with stock 2" Chrysler intake valves. The exhausts were 2 1/8" Donovans. Tom Jobe of the Surfers built the blower running at 28% overdrive. Hilborn injection sat up top. The car was run on 70% nitro and Ray was willing to tip the can if needed. The car weighed 2,200 lbs. and within weeks of being done he ran early times of 8.46/179.98. Ray was at Fontana on Jan 7 for an eight-car show. It was a hard show to get into as 42 cars attempted to qualify for the eight positions. Ray beat the "Whinemaker" in the first round, with an 8.11/180.72. In the semifinal, he ran an easy 9.08/146.57 when Marv Eldridge fouled. In the final, he was up against "Dyno" Don Nicholson. Ray ran an 8.52/178.21 for the runner-up money as Don's 8.08/172 took the win. |

Notes: Stock stroke motor. | Best NHRA ET was 7.263/196.07. Also 194.38 at Seattle 8/22/70. | Ray was at Lions for an eight-car show on June 27. His 7.49/194.38 beat Andy Clary in the first round, but his 7.67 in the semifinal lost to Dave Beebe's 7.49. On July 3, he competed at the OCIR Nitro Championships. It was a sixteen-car field, and in the opening round of eliminations, his 7.53/191.08 beat John Lombardo's 7.86/185. Marv Eldridge fouled against him in round two, so Alley advanced with a 7.51/189.07. His next opponent, Mert Littlefield, shut down early and Ray's 7.66/177.86 went to the final. He faced Arnie Behling, who was behind the wheel of John Mazmanian's 'Cuda. The final wasn't very close as Behling set Low ET with a 7.25 at 200 to easily cover Alley's 7.95/191.89. The following day, he was at Irwindale for the Fourth of July Championships. This was only an eight-car show, but Alley qualified. An opening round 8.53/135.13 advanced when Don Hampton crossed the centerline, but the Duster broke in its semifinal match against eventual winner Behling. Ray got another runner-up finish at Lions on July 11 for the AHRA All-American race. In the first round, his quick-leaving 7.83/179.28 beat Steve Bovan's 7.76/188. He actually lost to Behling's 8.02/133 in the semifinals when he ran an off-pace 8.81/187.50, but Arnie's Cuda had blown a rear end, so Alley was reinstated for the final. There he ran against Roger Wolford, who was driving the "Mako Shark" Corvette. The two had a good race, but Roger's 7.61/176 got to the stripe first before Alley's 7.65/193.54. Yet another runner-up finish came at OCIR on July 25 for the PDA Championships. In the first round, Ed Lenarth lost fire, giving Alley a 7.71/185.56 solo. In the second round, Danny Ongais lost fire in the M/T Mustang. Ray ran 7.51/185.56 to advance. Once again, he needed a little "help" with the "break rule" as he lost his semifinal race to Gene Conway. Alley's 7.79/186.33 lost to Conway's 7.47/192.71. But in the other semifinal race, both Lombardo and Dave Condit were able to get their cars down the track due to breakage, so both were disqualified. Alley now had to rerun Conway in the final. This time Ray had troubles and shut off to 11.52/99.77 while Conway got the victory with a 7.65/181. He ventured to Kent, Washington, for the Seafair Nationals on July 31. He ran times of 7.85, 7.50, and 7.48/193.12 to reach the final. It was an all-Duster final as he faced Ed McCulloch. The two had a great race that saw Ed's 7.05/210 win over Ray's quicker 6.99/199.48. McCulloch also stopped him at the third NHRA Division Seven race held at Bakersfield on August 9. This time it came in the semifinals. A week later (August 15), he was at OCIR for its anniversary race. It was a sixteen-car field, and Alley's opening round 7.53/192.71 beat Condit's 7.70/196 in the "L. A. Hooker." But in round two, he fouled away a 7.49/192.71 against Eldridge. |

Notes: Also had a plain enamel red paint job this year. |Ray Alley was racing for 25 years when the '71 season started. He was a very helpful person. In '70 his good friend Marv Eldridge was critically injured. Alley stepped up and ran Eldridge's Fiberglass Trends shop. He didn't have to be asked as he stepped in to help. Ask any racer of the time and I’m sure they would have a good story to recount about Ray. His '71 ride was a switch for him. He had always run Mopar bodied Funny Car's, but his new car was a Mustang sitting on a 118" wheelbase John Buttera chassis. It used a Halibrand rear with 5.41 gears and a Lenco two-speed transmission. A stock-stroke 426 Hemi used Howards rods and Arias pistons was used. The cam was also by Howards. A John Hovan built blower sat on a Cragar manifold. Up on top sat Enderle injection. The article in the November. '71 SS/FC magazine claimed that Ray had set track records at Irwindale and Seattle. It also went on to say that he had topped 212 with the car. Ray set Low ET at OCIR's March of Dimes event in June with a 6.88. He made it into the final of the eight-car show by winning his first-round race with a 6.91/205.71 to beat Bob Pickett's quicker 6.89/215. He ran his Low ET in the semifinals with his 6.88 at 208.81 beating Sush Matsubara's 7.08/214. In the final, he fell off to a 7.18/205.47 that finished runner-up to Dave Beebe's 6.90/216 in the "Mr. Ed" car. |

Notes: On January 23, Ray was runner-up at the second OCIR All-Pro race. He beat Gary Burgin's 6.94/210 in the first round, with a 6.85/205.94. In the semifinals, a 6.85/209.79 beat Jake Johnston in Gene Snow's second car. An off-pace 7.28 in the final lost to Snow's track record 6.57. At the Bakersfield March Meet, he lost to Leroy Chadderton driving the "Hawaiian" in the first round. The "Hawaiian" got him again in the first round, at the final OCIR All-Pro race on March 25. On May 6, he was at OCIR's Big Four Championships. Bob Pickett fouled against him in the first round, but in round two, his engine exploded while running a winning 7.22/184.80. He won his race, but received minor burns and was unable to return for round three (32 car show). He was at Lions a couple of weeks later for the second annual Funny Car Festival. An opening round 7.15/192.71 beat Mert Littlefield, but he lost soon after. Alley was back at OCIR for the Hang Ten meet where his 7.05/189.47 in the first round, lost to Joe Lee's 6.95/209. |

Notes: The team first raced together was a booked race at the 1986 D4 Green Valley, TX, where Amberson rode out a wild wheelstand. The team won IHRA Bristol in 1986. Darrell was at Kansas City for the ADRA Summernationals. He failed to reach the finals, but he did run 6.01/251.39 to qualify #6 for the eight-car show. Amberson qualified #13 at Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals with a 6.037/242.58. In the opening round, his 5.975/244.56 lost to Tom Hoover's 5.868/254.95. This was the team's only NHRA race in 1986. The following week (August 24), he was at Cordova for the 33rd annual World Series. The race was run "Chicago Style," with the two Low ET cars meeting in the final. In the first round, he broke against Johnny West, who was driving the "Hawaiian." In the second round, Darrell's 6.26/235.41 lost to Wayne Minick's 6.13/244 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." Amberson's ET failed to get him into the final. Michael Beach photo from Martin, MI, 1986. The Drag Racing List December 86/January 87, Volume 1, Number 9, had 5.945/251.39 at Tulsa (first time with dual mags, dual pumps, 14/71 blower) in 1986. Where was the 5.825/255.68 run? Munro thinks it was IHRA Milan. We need to confirm. |

Notes: Darrell was at Tulsa for its annual Spring race. He qualified #3 in the eight-car field with a 5.95/241.28. Another 5.95 at 243.24 beat Henry Phillips in the opening round, and in the semifinals, he ran a career-best (to this point) 5.93/245.23 (Top Speed) to beat Doc Halladay's 6.14/238. Unfortunately, the Corvette broke on the run, and he could not face Johnny West driving the "Hawaiian" in the final. He was at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals but lost to Halladay in the first round. Darrell improved on his best at Atco for the IHRA Summernationals, where he qualified with a 5.89. He had a bit of bad luck when the car broke on the line in the first round, against eventual winner Mark Oswald driving the "Candies & Hughes" T-Bird. Early in July, he was at Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. An opening round 6.43/245.90 advanced over Ed McCulloch's wheelstanding Olds. But in the semifinal, he lost to Oswald. Shortly after that, Darrell qualified #1 for the eight-car field at Kansas City for their Summernationals race with a 5.93/244.75. He failed to reach the finals there as he lost to Jack Wyatt in the semifinals. He was the #15 qualifier at Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals with a 5.850/250.00. Unfortunately, he lost to John Martin in the opening round. Photo from Milan, MI, 1988. Went 5.72 at Milan (need to confirm). Was that a 5.72 or 5.77? (We formerly listed a 5.77). The most unique of all the Bruce Iversen bodies ever run. Had a much more Corvette-like front end grafted on. Big improvement! - Tim S |

In round one, he lost to Tim Grose, 5.62/258 to 6.236/186.14. He qualified #13 at Baton Rouge (only 13 cars showed) at 6.074/238.15. Don Prudhomme got to him again in round one, 5.49/267 to 5.920/248.55. Despite losing early at the Cajun Nationals, he sat in ninth spot at this time in NHRA FC points. He wasn't far behind Tom Hoover (1,856 to 1,725 in point) who sat eighth in points. In the second week of July, he was at Milan, Michigan, for the IHRA Northern Nationals. A 5.80 qualified #6, and in the first round, his engine-blowing 7.88/107 lost to eventual winner Ed McCulloch's 5.75. Darrell was also on the bump spot at Brainerd, qualifying at 6.089/221.62. In round one, he improved to 5.979/233.16 but lost to Scott Kalitta's 5.59/262. In mid-September, he was at Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals. His 5.96/222.77 qualified #7 for the eight car show and he lost early in eliminations. Darrell was the second alternate at the Houston Supernationals at 5.804/241.87. He skipped several events and raced at the World Finals. He was the fifth alternate at 5.805/221.83 but we think that was in his Ambition Corvette because Whit Bazemore had the former Ted Combis car and also DNQ'd at 6.005/221.67. We need confirmation of that. Photo from the 1988 IHRA Winternationals, Darlington, South Carolina. |

Notes: Darrell started the year with a runner-up finish at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals. He qualified #2 with a 5.89/244.56 and improved to a 5.82/231.85 in the first round, over Frank Kramberger. In the semifinals, a 5.85/248.61 beat Doc Halladay's 5.88. In the final, he met low qualifier, Brad Tuttle. It was a close race, with Brad's 5.79/251 winning over Darrell's 5.80/248.61. At the next IHRA event, the Springnationals at Bristol, he failed to qualify. The car was destroyed on July 15 while attempting to qualify for the KCIR Summernationals. Darrell had just finished pulling the 'chute after a 6.35 run when Doug Pickard's car, which had gone into a fireball, rear-ended him. Both cars were destroyed, and Amberson was OK, but Pickard received third-degree burns on his face and hands. |
