Yes, the so called blown GTO incident proves zero to me, but it will keep getting repeated over, and over. Don and Roy Gay had blown GTO funny cars, with Stratostreak engines running nitro, that beat a lot of brand X cars, so his anecdote carries little weight.
As I said, the guy isn't old enough to have been there during that time period, so any of his information is third hand, at best. The guys that carried the Pontiac banner during that time, weren't blowing engines up every week like he suggests, and they were able to run 12 seconds with cast rods, even though he eludes that it was a feat that could never happen.
His stories have more than a few holes in them.
