Then Leo made it all the way to the final round. But there he drew a big red eye. But hey, any time you can win 5 rounds of Stock at a big div race, you've had a good day. So, congrats to Leo for a good day of racing, in his 1st gen '68 Bird !

There's a lot of racing on the schedule this weekend. There's a National event, called the Summernationals, at Englishtown, NJ. There are at least 4 Pontiacs on the entry list, in Stock Elim. And 3 of these are 1st gens.

One belongs to Adam Strang. It's one the few 4-speed Birds still in competition. Another is Todd Hoven, with one of the old Truman Fields '68's, painted up with the old "Hard Times" paint scheme. And there's Randi Lyn Shipp, with her '67.

Also entered is Scott Underhill, with the E/SA record holder, which is a '71 455HO T37.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=EJ1&cc=8&rn=9

There's also a Pontiac powered GT Super Stock car entered. It could be one of the Hatari cars, usually driven by SS champ Peter Biondo. But for this race, Sam Biondo is listed as the driver. The car is listed as a 2000 model with a 428 Pontiac engine for power.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=EJ1&cc=7&rn=9

Good luck to all the Pontiac powered racers at the Summernationals !

Qualifying has begun at the Summernationals. Adam Strang has the highest qualified Pontiac Stocker, in his '68 E/S Bird. I can only count 5 stick cars on the entire list of 87 cars. Don't know about the FS cars. It's tuff to be competitive in Stock today, with a stick car, because of the breakout feature of competition. It's just easier to cut consistently good lights, and run consistent ET's with an auto trans.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299574&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Hey ya'll like a good 1st gen story, don'cha ? Well I got one. They had Stock, class elims today at the Summernationals. Randi Lyn Shipp did not have the quickest car in her C/SA class. The quickest car easily had her covered. They met in the class final. As expected, he turned in a quicker time. BUT, I assume he was just a tad overconfident. He cut a real bad light, she cut a .007, and picked up the class win ! Great job Randi !!!

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299604&Filter=100#indextop

There'll be lots of Pontiacs in action to day. Besides the Summernationals, there is a div 2 race. There we have the two '73 Birds of Adam Davis and Michael Brand.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299632&Filter=100#indextop

In div 3 we have at least 5 Pontiac Stockers--Tommy Pettigrew, Julie Biermann, Jack Larsen, Don Turk, and Todd Kuhn. There's quite an assortment of body styles. There's a '70 GTO, a 1st & 2nd Bird, a '74 Grand Am, and a '77 Lemans.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299671&Filter=100#indextop

And Don Elgin is representing Pontiac at the div 6 race, with his Grand Am.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299659&Filter=100#indextop

Good luck to all the Pontiac racers today !

OK, after the 1st round of elims, we still have 3 Pontiacs in, at the Summers--the 4th gen GT/CA, Randi Lyn's '67, and Todd Hoven's '68.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299684&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299695#indextop

And all 3 are still in after the 2nd round.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299759&Filter=30#indextop

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299760&Filter=30#indextop

Well shucks, ya'll. Randi Lyn made it thru to round 4. But there she cut a bad light, which is not like her. So, all the Pontiacs are out, at the Summers.

There's a 1st and 2nd gen on the Stocker list at the div 5 race. The 1st gen is an E/SA '68 Bird, driven by Ronald Prince. The 2nd gen is a K/SA '76 driven by Kevin Love.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299706&Filter=100#indextop

Well, neither car made it passed the 1st round. I'm not sure, but I think that K/SA '76 Bird may be the same car that Mike Morgan raced last year. He won his class and 4 rounds of elims, at the US Nationals, then sold the car.

They raced 'til the wee hours at the div 3 race. Only 1 Pontiac made it thru round 1. And he bowed out in round 2.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299947&Filter=100#indextop

I think Don Elgin, in div 6, has the only Pontiac still in div competition this weekend.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299863&Filter=100#indextop

Well, Don Elgin lost the 1st round. So all the Pontiacs are out for the weekend.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300091&Filter=30#indextop

Would ya'll like to see another quick 1st gen, with a lady driver. Well, here's a Fire Bird, driven by Kaylyn Milton. She runs bracket and Super Gas. This past weekend, she ran S/G at the div 5 race, cut a .010 light, and ran right on the 9.90 index in the 1st round. Lost a close double breakout race in round 2.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=299998&Filter=Year2015#indextop

This week, there's a national event in NH, called the New England Nationals. I can spot 3 Pontiac powered cars on the entry list.

There's 1 Stocker. It is a '68 Bird running E/S, which belongs to Adam Strang.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=NH1&cc=8&rn=10

There's 1 Super Stocker. It's an '85 400 powered Bird running GT/HA, which belongs to Victor Santos.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=NH1&cc=7&rn=10

And there's 1 car running in the Super Street class. It's listed as a 455 powered '69 Bird, belonging to Justin Bosley.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=NH1&cc=9&rn=10

There is also a race in div 4 , in Tulsa, Okla.

After 3 rounds of qualifying, Adam Strang finished #12 in Stock, and Victor Santos finished #1 in Super Stock !

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300183&Filter=30#indextop

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300185&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Hey, an '06 Chevy Cobalt is #1 qualifier in Super Stock, at the div 4 race in Tulsa. So, you may ask, why on earth would I post this on this forum ? The answer is, because it has a Pontiac 428 engine sitting behind that Chevy bow tie on the grill !

They're racing at the new England Nationals. Victor Santos got the bye in round 1, since he was #1 qualifier !

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300246&Filter=30#indextop

And Justin Bosley made it thru his 1st round of S/ST.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300243&Filter=30#indextop

There is a '79 Bird on the list of 1st round S/ST winners, that was not on the entry list. So I don't know if he has Pontiac power or not.

Justin made it to round 3, where he lost a close one. But Victor cut a .001 light and won his 3rd round by less than an inch ! That's the closest race I've ever heard of.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300294&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300296&Filter=30#indextop

Well, Victor Santos almost cut a perfect light in round 3.

And, he almost cut a perfect light in round 4, also. And again he was only .001 away. But, unfortunately, this time he was on the wrong side of almost perfect. He cut a -.001 to turn on the big red eye.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300339&Filter=30#indextop

But he had a great weekend. He qualified #1 and made it down to the final 5 cars, in Super Stock, at a national event. Hey, that ain't a bad performance. So congrats to Victor, for making a good showing and being a great representative for Pontiac power !

This weekend there is a national event and 3 div races. The Thunder Valley Nationals is going on in Bristol, TN. There appear to be 3 Stockers and 1 Super Stocker which are Pontiac powered. There's Randi Lyn Shipp, with her '67 Bird. And there are the '73 Birds of Adam Davis and Michael Brand. Johnny Duncan has a GT/HA 400 powered '95 Bird. Good luck to all these Pontiac racers.

Michael Brand cut a .003 light and took the holeshot win in the G/SA class final.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300450&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Looks like Scott Burton has the only Pontiac Stocker at the div 5 race.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300472&NewHash=LODRS-SUMMIT#indextop

Carroll Warling tops the Super Stock qualifying list with his record holding '74 Lemans. And Scott Burton is on the SS list with his new GT/GA '91 Bird. It has a '73 Pontiac 400 for power.

At the div 4 race in Baytown, TX, there is an H/SA '74 TA, driven by Hunter Pierdolla.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300515&Filter=30#indextop

Thank you for posting Oldskool.

All 3 Pontiac Stockers made it thru round 1 at Bristol.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300544&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Randi Lyn and Michael Brand made it thru round 2.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300558&Filter=30#indextop

Randi Lyn made it to the semi-final round and Michael made it to the finals. But we'll have to wait til Monday to find out who wins. They got rained out.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300871&Filter=100#indextop

Update: They decided to run the Stock final at Norwalk. So, Michael Brand remains undefeated for the weekend. This, along with his .003 light holeshot win for the G/SA class trophy, make Michael my Pontiac racer of the week.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300911&Filter=Year2015#indextop

Carroll Warling and Scott Burton didn't get very far at the div 5 race. But Roger Benne made it to the semi-final round in the Super Street class, with his '70 GTO.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=300877&Filter=30#indextop

There's a National Event in Norwalk this weekend. There are several Pontiacs on the entry list. I see at least 4 in Stock. They are Randi Lyn Shipp, Julie Biermann, Michael Brand, and Billy Foder.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=NO1&cc=8&rn=12

I am not familiar with this last name. The car is listed as a '72 Firebird, with a 455. But it is entered in A/S. That might be a misprint. Don't think any Pontiac combo's today run A/S. And I don't know of anybody running a 4-speed 455 '72 Bird in NHRA Stock Elim. Just found this, from last year. The car was listed in E/SA. That sounds more like it.

http://dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=291791&Filter=Year2014

In SS, Bill Rink is entered, with his little '74 GTO. There is also a SS/AM class '00 Grand Am listed as having a Pontiac 439 engine. The driver is Jim Clark. I am not familiar with the car or driver. So, is it Pontiac powered or not ? Don't know why they list the 4th gen Bird engines as Pontiac. Anyhow, if anyone has more info on this car, please post.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=NO1&cc=7&rn=12

There are also 2 Super Gas Pontiac powered cars listed. One is listed as a '33 Ford, with a 468 Pontiac engine. The driver is Tim Gillespie. The other is a '68 Bird, with a 461 Pontiac engine. Doug Croft is the driver.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventCatgs.asp?ey=2015&ec=NO1&cc=10&rn=12

So, good luck to all Pontiac powered racers at Norwalk !

This week, they're gettin their kicks at Route 66. And the girls have their 1st gens runnin 10's, again !
Don Turk also has his '74 GA entered in Stock.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=301572&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Bill Rink is entered in SS with his little GTO. And Greg Meyer is in the hunt with his GT/GA '92 Bird.

Here's a pic of Tim's Pontiac powered S/G '33 Ford. It ain't exactly your typical Pontiac powered race car.

Randi Lyn and Don Turk survived round 1, in Stock.

Bill Rink and Greg Meyer also made it thru round 1, in SS.

None of the Pontiacs made it passed round 3. Not a great weekend.

There were several div races this weekend. At the div 6 race, Pontiac power picked up 2 wins !

Brad Burton won the Stock class, in his 2nd gen Formula.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302338&Filter=30#indextop

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302336&Filter=30#indextop

In div 1, Victor Santos qualified #3 and made it to round 4, in his 3rd gen Pontiac powered Bird.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302111&Filter=Year2015#indextop

This week we have a National event and some div races. Qualifying at the Mile High Nationals is underway.

Randi Lyn Shipp and Scott Burton are in the top half of the Stocker field.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302384&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Carroll Warling is #1 in Super Stock at over a second under his index ! Brad Burton is #11 at .614 under.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302420&NewHash=NHRA-SUMMIT#indextop

Randi Lyn got the C/SA class win, and Carroll Warling got the SS Auto Combo win.

Scott Burton made it all the way to the final round in Stock. But there, one of the 9 sec late model guys cut a great light and Scott had to settle for RU.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302732&Filter=30#indextop

Carroll Warling made it to the semi final round, where he lost a close one, by 4 inches.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=302694&NewHash=LODRS-SUMMIT#indextop

Todd Kuhn drove the only Pontiac to make it passed round 2. He made it to round 4. But with the huge field of Stockers at this race, that was not far enuff. Congrats to Todd for his 3 round wins.

Randi Lyn Shipp got her C/SA class win yesterday, with her '67 Bird. And she also won her 1st round of elims today. She ran a 10.49 yesterday. That ain't bad for a 400 D-port Stocker, ya'll !

Hey ya'll, it's time for the "Big Go", Indy, the US Nationals--the biggest drag race in the world !

There are at least 10 Pontiac powered Stockers entered, including at least three 1st gens. So, there'll be a lot of action to report, this week.

Good luck to all the racers using Pontiac power !

OK, at the US Nationals , In Stock and Super Stock, they run the 128 cars which run the farthest under their index, during qualifying. All the Pontiac powered Stockers but 1, made it into the show.

Well, Adam didn't make it much further. Peter Biondo made it to round 5 in Super Stock. But that's as far as he could go. So, all the Pontiacs are out, at the this year's US Nationals.

There are 2 div races this weekend. The only 1st gen I'm sure of, so far, is Todd Hoven's '68, at the div 1 race in E-town.

There's a 2nd gen and a '74 GTO in Stock, at the div 5 race. And, there is a '74 GTO and a '74 Lemans, in Super Stock.

After being delayed by rain, they finally got in 1 round of Stock qualifying, at Englishtown. Besides Todd Hoven's '68, Adam Strang is also entered, with his 4-speed '68.

Good luck to all the Pontiac powered racers this weekend.

At the div 1 race, Todd Hoven won his first 2 rounds of elims. The 1st round was real close. Both drivers ran their dial-in. But Todd cut a .005, for the win !

In round 3, Todd tripped the red light. It was not a good weekend for Pontiac powered class racers.

At the div 5 race, none of the Pontiac Stockers or Super Stockers made it past the 1st round.

But, Jason Hennessey won his 1st round of S/ST.

Jason lost a real close race in round 2. So all the Pontiacs are out of the div 5 race.
