Record fuel prices of $3.07 for regular gas were seen but spirits remained high. More competitors bought and built cars bringing the total of competing cars to 25. John Grovesner of Tacoma Wa lowered track records at Agassiz, B.C., Hermiston and South Sound Speedways. Fans cheered Championship night as 64 year old Dan Hale beat two time defending champion Jerry Koepping by a single point. This accomplishment made hale the oldest season champion and also the closest finish anyone can remember. Membership continues to grow as the club looks toward future years.
