Correction! Was reminded that Danny O won 11 of 12 drivng Thompson's blue F/C. Not sure they were all National Events but heck, that's one hell of a win ratio.
From February through July 1969, Danny On-the-gas compiled a 55-2 round win/loss record.
Wins included:
The March Meet
Las Vegas Stardust Nationals
AHRA Grand American Nationals
AHRA Springnationals
Nhra Springnationals
Orange County Nitro Championships (was there!)
Oh yeah...the US Nationals
Surprisingly, Ongias didn't qualify at the NHRA Winternationals but was unbeatable after that. The car recorded the first F/C six second run, a 6.96 at Kansas City on Septenber 14 1969.
We Ford guys would love to give all the credit to the Amos Satterlee built cammer...but the Pat Foster chassis, with help of a newcomer named 'Lil John Buttera, was probably more of a deciding factor.
