Any chance of a Tommy Youman vs Justin Shearer 2021 race ?
I saw a post from Tommy this week about maybe showing up at a big Pontiac race this year. I think many would want to see Tommy's with big tires and lay down all he has and why not do it against Big Chief big tires on both..
GTO to GTO ..... Pay per View this online ....I will watch !

Is Tommy removing the Hemi in order to run the Pontiac events?

My money would be on Chief if it's your typical best out of three exhibition race.

Youman needs to get that 64 going then and make this happen , I just found the article in Dragzine I had missed. The 64 will be lighter and well so that should be awesome and just not built as a Pro 275 class car like the 70.

Tommy’s 70 GTO can race at the Pontiac race just can’t run in frantically four or quick 16. He can make timed runs and grudge racing if any!

To make a match race like that happen, one or both of the guys would need to get in touch with Pete Woodruff a year in advance. They would both need to explain what they had in mind, how many runs, 1/8 mile or quarter mile, what type of promotion they plan to provide and other details. You would think they could just show up, pull to the line and drag race for fun, but it rarely works that way in the past 20+ years with fast cars like this. We attempted to put a match together with Justin years ago when Street Outlaws was really hot and it was very complicated. His production schedule and other commitments were a factor. He expects to be paid and paid well as a TV star and fan draw. We were a little faster and louder, and he didn't see any real upside from doing it. It's not as simple as it seems. Would be fun to see though.

I don't see the big draw in a Chief vs Youmanns match race now. Not anymore than any other Chief.vs XXXX. Race. Not knocking Tommy, his car is bad ass but its got a ProLine Hemi now.

Does anyone know just how much faster Tommy's car is now with the ProLine Hemi than when it had the KRE Pontiac? Last I had seen I was surprised in that there was not that much decrease in et with the ProLine

The place would be wall to wall people and all of the Pontiac people would be p*ssed. It would be a nightmare getting around. We've run our cars at national events among the pros and it's a challenge getting around.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
