Thanks for starting this thread. Yes, these were the years that Pontiac had no equal, on the circle tracks or the drag strips. They had the engineering, the enthusiasm and the leadership at the top of the division that understood the value of the youth market, the importance of wining at the race track, and support from the factory and aftermarket. Not to mention the talented and colorful drivers. It was a glorious time for our brand. Some of us have never left that time frame and chosen to improve what Pontiac gave us as one of the best V-8 racing platforms that has transcended time. Great pics, keep them coming. Anytime you end up on the winning side of a race with Don Garlits, it's a very special day at the race track! Thank you to all the pioneers, past and still with us who made this all possible.
