https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop I'd already quit lookin at DRC, for this race. Never even thought about a Pontiac being in the Jegs section. From the numbers, looks like it'll take a real good package to win the final. But, usually when I say that, the driver with the real good RT the previous round, doesn't do it again in the final. Like Yogi said: "It ain't over 'til it's over". |

Randi Lyn left a little too soon in the final.
I did find out that Bruce Noland was driving his '69 Bird, even tho it was listed as a Vette. The way I found out was because someone posted a picture of it in the staging lanes. It ran a 10.70, which was quick enuff to get him safely in the show. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2021#indextop Lookin forward to seeing how much quicker he can make it & how soon he will have it painted. |

Don Kennedy Interview
Here's a real short video interview that some may enjoy. Includes a real quick glance at the cockpit & engine of Don K's 428 Pontiac powered GT/EA Sunfire.
Some may not know that Don was a major player in getting the GT classes included in the Super Stock category. He is credited with coming up with most of the original GT rules. http://classracer.com/classforum/sho...98&postcount=6 |

While it is still wet / rainy here in Phila it looks like Maple Grove is far enough a way to be able to race.

Only see one Pontiac powered car at this race. It is the yellow Hoefer G/SA '73 Formy. For the last couple of years, the driver has been listed as C.W. Hoefer. On this list, the driver is listed as Sacha Hoefer. So, Sacha is obviously kin to C.W. Sacha is in #5 position.

In final Stock qualifying, Adam Strang moved up to #5, Lauren Kanuik was #30, & Bruce Noland ran a 10.572, to move up to #34. I assume that John Schloe has the only '69 Bird Stocker that has ever gone quicker.
https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop In SS, John Agneta finished at #18. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop Sorry to report that all the Pontiacs were eliminated after 2 rounds of elims. Last edited by ponyakr; 09-10-2021 at 05:21 PM. |

They're still racing at Wild Horse, but complaining about the heat. Some didn't go because of it & some dropped out. I remember when we raced on quite a few 100° + days, in East Texas. And the humidity was quite a bit higher, than in AZ. BUT, we were young back then. Lots of the class racers nowadays are retired senior citizens. So, racing in that kind of heat could be dangerous for some of them.
For the 1st race, Sacha Hoefer ended up in the #3 qualifying position. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop Sacha made it to the semi-final, but there left just a hair too soon, & had to settle for a 3rd place finish. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop Looks like C.W. Hoefer is driving an F/SA car for somebody in the 2nd race. Sacha qualified #8 & has survived E-1. https://www.nhra.com/results/2021/lu...ock-eliminator https://www.nhra.com/results/2021/lu...ock-eliminator Last edited by ponyakr; 09-11-2021 at 03:56 PM. |

There are 4 Pontiacs on the Stock Q-list.
Brad Koivisto - '74 GTO - #11 @ .917 under Dwaine Davis - '74 Bird - #19 @ .883 under Dan Johnson - '71 Bird - #51 @ .777 under Troy Vogel - '72 GTO - #68 @ .637 under https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop Also 4 Pontiac powered cars on the SS Q-list. I think it's interesting that '74 GTO's are the top Pontiac qualifiers in Stock & SS, especially considering the high hp factor NHRA has given the Stocker. Bill Rink - '74 GTO - #6 @ .921 under Robert Cruzen - '06 Cobalt 428 - #13 @ .878 under Greg Meyer - '92 Bird - #16 @ .868 under Billy Ingels - '74 Bird - #41 @ .579 under https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop Brad Koivisto had the only Pontiac Stocker to survive E-1. https://www.nhra.com/results/2021/lu...ock-eliminator Last edited by ponyakr; 09-11-2021 at 05:01 PM. |
