TOP FUEL RETURNS TO CORNHUSKER
Jack Mitchell & Howdy Williams, Howdy won with a 7.30 at 200.44 pass.
Comp eliminator Hoot Gibson/George Crow in their AF/D Chevy beat Ron Ellis with a 7.95 at 186.02 pass
Modified eliminator Mike Daughertys chevy ran a 12.77 at 112.97 to beat Bob Belik both drivers from omaha
Super stock Jim Schlotman & Jim Hayes raced, the win going to Scholtman in his plymouth with a 121.29 ,11.42 et pass. Jim Hays was driving the former Macs Chevrolet 69 Camaro Jim ran a very close 11.57 ET Schlotman got the holeshot at the lights
Howdy's car is now in a collection in Lincoln and probably was a Hemi by this time. Hoot used to sub for Howdy now and then. Mike Daugherty was a Black 57 Chevy, He and a couple of guys owned a Speed shop on Q St. Mike, I believe has a Chevy dealership in California. Bob Belik's car was the lime green 56 Chevy with a little 272 inch and was the Belick Bros.
Gary Malmberg and I about got in big trouble at a WCS in Denver running one of their 272's. I made the comment to someone about how good we were running considering we didn't have the right engine in the Corvette. They took it we were claiming 272 instead of our usual 331 engine. We had all the Tech guys over at the car looking it over. They were ready to pump the engine when I pointed out for them to look for the oil filter mount or the bolt holes on the side of the block for motor mounts. They looked and there are not either on a 265 block and they were happy and left us alone.
Jim Hayes, of course has been talked about here about his Camaro.

Still looking for any information on a 67 Camaro nicknamed the CAPN CRUNCH SUPER CAMARO. It was a drag race car since new, turned into a full on race car in 1969. it was built in Omaha Ne and raced at Cornhusker and Scribner. It has also raced at Thunder Valley in SD. I added another photo of the car and will add a few more in the near future.The last time the camaro was on a race track was in 2010 for friday nite street races at Mid America Motorplex in Pacific Junction Iowa. The car and current owner plan to race this year at the GEEZERS weekend car show and drag race at the motorplex this August.
