Default 2019 Pontiac Powered Bracket & Index Racing

There will be lots of Big Bucks bracket races this year, along with all the regular programs at local tracks.

http://drr.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/f...=advertisement

If any of you guys know of big races in your area, please post that info. Also, if any of you guys win part of the pot at any race, with your Pontiac powered car, please post that info. I, and I'm sure many others, always like to hear about Pontiac wins.

Good luck to all Pontiac powered racers this season !

The no box nationals in Indiana is usually our biggest race of the year, unfortunately it will not be put on anymore. Maybe the world footbrake challenge in Bristol if everything goes well. There are lots of different tracks doing 6.50,7.35, 7.50, and 8.00 1/8 mile index races here in Illinois, but not much in the way of payout. Depending on how the car performs with the spare motor, I might try my hand at NMCA open comp or nostalgia muscle car at Rt.66 and Indy. A lot of ifs and buts in the equation right now

Adam- The No Box Nationals at Wagler Motorsports park will go on a scheduled. The track owner bought the race and it will go on the same as when Greg and Allyn ran it. Put it on your schedule! Same weekend as always. June 14th - 16th 2019.

Not a big bucks race but a friend drove my 69 Firebird foot brake car at the March Meet.
92 cars in the class(H/R) he went 7 rounds until red lighting in the semis.
He did better than I did in my C/GAS car.

Hey, congrats to him for going 7 rounds ! That ain't easy to do. 6 rounds is the most we ever won, to get the race win. There just weren't that many cars at the tracks we ran.

Brad Burton made a decent showing at the Vegas Spring Fling.

"...Last night's Pro38 winner was two-time NHRA Stock Eliminator champ Brad Burton who advanced to the quarterfinal round against a sea of delay box racers..."

Default Renegade Reunion Drags

I don't have a clue whether this car has a Pontiac engine or not. But just thought I'd post it anyhow.

Brian Jennen won the bracket they called AFX, in this '71 T-37.
