Default 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.

Default 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.

Default 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.

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.

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.

Good luck guys !

They're racin Vegas. Lindy Lindholm qualified in the #2 position, in Stock, with his I/SA '74 Formula. Some of the Pontiac Stockers are in a good position to pick up class wins today.

Default Vegas E-1

Brad Burton and Leo Glasbrenner made it safely thru round 1 of Stock elims, in Vegas.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

Leo also won round one in Super Stock, as did Don Kennedy.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

The next 2 rounds of elims won't be run til the end of today's show, after all the Pro qualifying--late this evening, my time.

In GA, Tommy Pettigrew made it to the quarter-final round.

But, that's as far as he could go.

Maybe the Pontiac guys will do better Sunday.

Well Leo made it thru round 3, in both Stock & SS. Hey, a double would be cool. He gets the 4th round bye, in Stock.

Brad Burton also won his 3rd round, in Stock.

Default 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 ?

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!
