As always, if ya'll know of other Pontiac powered cars I'm missing, please post that info.
I was in Orlando running S/ST with my '69. Bowed out in the 1st round with a -,003 red. We'll try again in 2 week in Gainesville.

Default Div 2 & 7

Edit: The first number above should a 4, NOT a 2. That race is in Belle Rose, LA.

This week there are Lucas Oil Series races in div 4 & div 7.

Should be several Pontiacs entered in the div 7 race. But may not be any at the div 4 race.

Thanks for the pics !

Not familiar with the black Bird in the 1st pic, #770. Any idea who's car that is , and what class ?

According to the qualifying sheet, Scott Burton has the quickest Pontiac powered Stocker, with a .914 under 10.336 good enuff for #10 position. Bob Aceves is in #21 position, Rick Unterseh is at #23 with his 301T powered Bird, Wayne Stephenson is at #49, and Leo Glasbrenner is at #58.

Click on the zoom block, at the top of the page, at the links below, to get a closer look at the Q list.

Wonder if Wayne Stephenson is kin to Chris Stephenson ? Looks like the same car, or real similar. But, has a different NHRA number.

Chris has a Facebook page. But, I'm still locked out of FB.

As ya'll can see from the 2nd pic in post #45, Frank Gostyla is there with his T/S car.

At this div 7 race, after Friday's qualifying, he's #32, with a 7.366 @ 183.97 mph.

Here's the Fri Stock Q-list, from dragracecentral.com.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

And here's the SS list.

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

It answers some questions I had. The black Bird I ask about earlier belongs to Larry Maxwell. He's running it in GT/NA. That's pretty low. Wondering if he's running a low compression 350, like maybe a '77 model. But I haven't done any math on it, yet. Also, Chris Stephenson is driving a Chevy. So, maybe his brother is driving the '68 Bird Stocker.

Lindy Lindholm is driving his old '74 Formula Stocker, in SS, in the GT/MA class. And, it looks like Leo Glasbrenner had major problems, running a 28.745, in his 9 sec 4th gen Bird.

And again, Frank Gostyla is in #32 position in T/S, with a 7.366.

Looks like there are at least 2 Pontiac engines at No Problem Raceway. JB Clegg is in the #14 position, with a 9.748, in his SS/I SD455 '74 Bird, which is the former H-O Racing Specialties national record holder. Billy Ingels also has his '74 SS Bird in Belle Rose. He's at #28, running SS/IA. So, I assume he also has an SD455.

Spotted a Pontiac powered Stocker. #39 is listed as a '77 Lemans, driven by Wayne Larsen. The 400 powered '77 Lemans is considered a very competitive combo. Bob Michael built one that ran good. Sold it to Dave Ribeiro. So, anybody know this car or driver ?

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop

https://postimg.org/image/us5v5unsb/

And here's the final Q-list for SS.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop

Found a '77 Lemans driven by Jack Larsen. So, since the last names are the same, it would make sense that it is the same car. Or, I suppose it's possible that a similar car was built.

Hey thanks for that race report !

That would be the '74 200hp 350, like came in the GTO. Bill Rink has done real good with that engine, in Stock & SS. But he got the Stock hp factor up too high, in a Stock class Ventura.

But, in GT Super Stock, the hp factor is only 250. So that makes it competitive.
