Some may know that the car in the far lane, in that 1st pic was Connie Kalitta's "Bounty Hunter".
'62 was indeed a very good year for Pontiac. Besides the dragster & some lower class wins, another M/T Pontiac also won the A/FX class. That same car had also won A/FX at the Winter Nats, earlier in the year. Those 421SD engines won lots of stuff in '62 & '63.
Yep, those early '60's were Pontiac's "Glory Days", in drag & circle track racing ! Love to read about it & watch some of the old videos from those days !
