Lots of pictures by an excellent group of photographers over the years. ENJOY

Looks promising for a few seconds, then a "500" error occurs in motortrend.

I didn't get the error. Maybe it'll work if you clear your cache or try a different browser?

I didn't find the article to be particularly interesting. It's basically a rehashing of all the Pontiac and John Z stories I've read a thousand times before, accompanied by photos I've mostly seen before. In other words, no new content or insights.

I've always liked that picture of Carol Cox with her trophy. Her son checked in here a few years ago and there were a few discussions back and forth about his parent's racing exploits.

Agree Stuart. First time, in a long time, that I saw a picture of her with her trophy.

If there is ONE Cool Picture, that most have not seen, vs the typical John D history
"I made Pontiac" articles, then worth the post.

I bet many have never seen the of Mr Braswell with his Pontiac Dragster when he raced
Pontiacs before his son got into building custom Dominator Carbs.

I posted it at one time here.

I didnt realize he was acquitted. All anybody ever talks about is the cocaine bust. I assumed he was convicted.
