A Win !
Completely missed this win by a Pontiac powered Stocker.
Just saw it, on the Line Performance FB page. " Congratulations to Brad Koivisto on his win today in Stock/Super Stock at BIR!..." So, a belated congrats to Brad Koivisto, for his Stock/SS combo race win ! https://www.facebook.com/lineperformanceracing Last edited by ponyakr; 10-03-2021 at 11:23 PM. |

Dave Layer RIP (Heads Up) was one of the best. A Canadian racer here set 5 NHRA records with his self-built BBC engines and Heads Up worked heads. Funny how some think only "Pontiac specific" people can work their stuff. Nope. |

Arnold Hines use to have a shop that did race engines. In Indiana. Forget the town.He did Bob Michael's 73 SD Superstocker back in the day. He did my SD also. Lloyd Robinsons stocker and SS Pontiacs also were done what I can remember. He might have worked at another shop before he went on his own. Not sure how long he was in business.

With all your experience, given the changes you could make by switching to SS, do you think you could easily get into the high 9's ? If not, how close do you think you could get ? Have any other Pontiac powered reg SS cars got into the 9's, besides the Clegg cars & the Angeles '69 Bird ? |

Could take one of the Stocker motors add some ported heads, an intake,roller cam and a better oil pan,I think nines would be doable on a good day. Might take a little bit to figure out the clutch.

Houston Make-up Race ?
I suppose this was a make-up race for the race(or finish of the race) that was supposed to be in Houston, earlier in the year, maybe ?
Anyhow, in qualifying, J.B. Clegg was #4 in SS, with a 9.62, in the Clegg SD455 '73 Bird. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop The Mission Garage '74 T/A Stocker was #16, with an 11.416. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop |

TX Nats
The Mission Garage Stocker was #22 in Q-1.
https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop J.B. Clegg was #8 in SS Q-1, with a 9.663. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop Noticed that Greg Stanfield was #1 in SS Q-1. Can't see that name without thinkin back to the '70's, when we'd see his Dad, Howard, at the Hallsville TX track. Greg may have been driving some then. TJ just said she thinks maybe he was driving some, but didn't have his drivers license yet. I don't remember. IIRC, they were racing a white Chevelle wagon Stocker, at the time. Anyhow, Mr. Howard always came by to say hi & ask how our cars were running. He was a real gentleman. IIRC, he was a retired military man & was a school teacher when we knew him. I'm guessing that he probably raised Greg to be a nice guy & a gentleman, too. And Greg probably did the same for his son. That family has always been strong competitive racers, & nice guys to boot. I wonder how many of us will have nice things said about us, after we're gone ? Just thought of this to add. Bobby Brannon was also at some of those Halsville races. He was #1 on today's Stock Q-1 list. I think he was good friends with the Stanfields. They all lived in the Shreveport LA area, & still do. Don't remember a lot about him except his name. I think he was racing a '69 Camaro Stocker, at that time, but not sure, at all. Great to see that they're still racin, after all these years. Must be nice to do what you love to do, all your life !
