Fastest door-car pass at Norwalk 2019
What will be the fastest Pontiac-powered door-car ET and MPH at Norwalk this year?
Post your guess. Closest wins a whole pound of ice cream at Norwalk 2020.

Kauffman's rear engine dragster has gone 244.29 MPH and that is the current MPH record I think. However, about 10 days ago they were quietly testing at Norwalk during the Oldsmobile Nationals in absolutely terrible air 4500 Ft. DA and may have gone even a little faster MPH! They ran a 5.86 that day, which is fantastic. However their 5.841@ 244.29 is still the record unless I have missed something. We have run 243.37 MPH in our 2500 lb. funny car. The Kauffmans do not publish or talk about the weight of their rear engine dragster which adds to the mystique and mystery surrounding their efforts. Under the right conditions, Butler, Welter, and Cooper are all within striking distance to being the quickest and fastest. Steve Dale is also in the mix with his new engine program as well as a few others I have missed I am sure. If the track is excellent, and the weather is good, some records could be set in a number of categories. Good luck to everyone, be safe.

Forgive any misspellings.....Tommy Yeoman and Ben Wilkinson are likely contenders.

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.
