New Pontiac Powered race car to debut at US Nationals
Friend of mine, Rob Holmes from Dayton, OH is debuting a 1974 Trans Am at the US Nationals. His father Don Holmes, (RIP), raced a 77 TA and a 60's era Nova called the "Boss A Nova" for decades. His father started on this 74 and had it roughed-in and in primer when he passed. His son, has the car race ready and this is the cars first NHRA race. It is a Stock eliminator KSA car. Nothing like throwing yourself directly into the fire at the toughest event in the country. Car is beautiful with all work done right where the pics were taken in his sheet metal shop, including the paint job. 400 Pontiac power. 12.65 Index, 2nd round qualifying time, 11.62 1.048 under index Currently qualified 40th out of 150 cars. Good luck Rob!
