What a Mess
Looks like the Stock & SS cars may not get to run today, even if the track is dry enuff. Their pit area is a wet muddy mess.

Back in Action
Well, the weather is lookin better in Gainesville. They're gonna try to run at least 3 rounds of Stock & SS today. At the bottom of today's schedule are the words "Eliminations Continue". So, I don't know how late they'll race.
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Adam Davis & Randi Lyn Shipp both won their 1st round. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Sam Biondo also won his 1st round, in Super Stock. So, all the Pontiacs made it thru the 1st round. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Last edited by ponyakr; 03-20-2016 at 10:27 AM. |

Vegas & Div 2 Doubleheader
This weekend we got a national event in Vegas and a doubleheader race in GA.
Qualifying in Vegas starts Fri. Looks like there are 4 Stockers & 4 Super Stockers, with Pontiac power--all familiar names. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=LN1&cc=8&rn=4 https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=LN1&cc=7&rn=4 In Georgia, qualifying for the 1st race starts today, weather permitting. Forecast looks wet for today and Fri. Then qualifying for the 2nd race starts Sat am. I assume Adam Davis will be there. Don't know if any other Pontiacs will make it or not. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Last edited by ponyakr; 03-31-2016 at 04:58 AM. |

In GA yesterday, they were able to get in a round of Stock qualifying. Looks like 4 Pontiac Stockers showed up--Michael Brand, Thomas Pettigrew, Adam Davis, and Bryan Phillips. Still weather in the area. Don't know how much racing they can do today. But looks good for Sat & Sun.
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Good luck guys ! Last edited by ponyakr; 04-01-2016 at 12:12 PM. |

Sunday Elims--Vegas
They decided to run 2 rounds of Stock and SS elims, before the Pros run. Brad & Leo both survived both rounds, in Stock.
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop Leo also won round 4, in SS, but tripped the red light in round 5. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop Leo gets the bye, in the semi-finals. So, if Brad can win his race, it'll be an all Pontiac final, in Stock ! How cool is that ? Last edited by ponyakr; 04-03-2016 at 02:35 PM. |

The only difference Jack, is Pontiac was IN BUSINESS in 1961! Congratulations to all Pontiac class racers. What a great weekend. How many Saturns, Saabs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, and Hummers are in the winners circle 6 years after being canned by the parent company and 35 years after their engine platform was killed off. Great job guys!
