Default Remembering Pontiac's biggest win ever in drag racing history!

Today being Labor day, it is time to remember when Pontiac was King on the drag strip with winning Top Eliminator at the US Nationals!
This win for Pontiac has never been repeated and likely never will again.
Jack Chrisman was driving for Mickey Thompson and beat Don Garlits in the final!
Pontiac's racing program was in full swing under the leadership of General Manager Elliot "Pete" Estes and win they did!
Several firms were contracted under the SD racing program including Mickey Thompson Enterprises in Long Beach, Ca.
The biggest win ever for Pontiac in drag racing was on this weekend, Labor day weekend at Indy!
I own and collect M/T HEMI Pontiac engines and parts. Am happy to answer questions about this successful winning Pontiac racing engine. Very little has been published about it. Jack Gifford, of course, also knows so much about these engines and perhaps he will reply as well.
