Don’s transaction back to the door cars in 1969 was made easy with the purchase of the proven SOHC powered Mustang of Jerry Harvey. The car was one of a dozen built in 1965 by Holman-Moody in North Carolina at the request of Ford. Running A/MP at the NHRA Springnationals, Don would earn his first NHRA national event category win since the 1962 Winternationals by taking Street Eliminator. It was the match races where the Mustang really shined, recording solid nine second times while dusting off the likes of Grump Jenkins, and Sox & Martin.
