Drag Week was once again, unkind to the big Hemi B-bodies. For the third year in a row, Rick Callahan would endure a DNF. Last year, the performance fell off each day until the black 69 Road Runner couldn't continue. This year he laid down a 10.28-133.35 at Norwalk, which was the highest Mph ever for the big elephant on Drag Week, so I have no idea why he didn't make it to Martin for Wednesday.

Norwalk had to be especially frustrating for James Pranis and his Charger. His first pass was aborted very early in the run, then he was one of only two cars who weren't allowed to run at the end of session one. James would bring the black monster back around in the final fifteen minutes of the day for a 10.00-136.9, but the Hemi was clearly not performing to it's usual standards. To make matters worse, his girlfriend Lisa's V-6 Buick fell off to a 10.84-122 at Norwalk, after recording best ever drag week numbers of 9.23-148 the day before. I'm sure the decision not to continue was a tough one, but their DW-16 came to an end at some point Tuesday evening.
