OK, qualifying begins today at the Winter Nats.

https://www.nhra.com/schedule/2020/n...nals-presented

According to the pre-entry list, there are only 3 Pontiac Stockers entered. Randi Lyn Shipp, Brad Burton, & Leo Glasbrenner.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PC1&cc=8&rn=1

Brad & Leo are also entered in SS. Lindy Lindholm is on the list, with his '74 Bird. But, it was stolen, so I don't think it'll be there.

https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PC1&cc=7&rn=1

The Winter Nats always remind me of those early 60's Pontiac class wins.

In Stock, Randi Lyn was #25, with an .887 under, 10.663. Brad Burton was #33, with an .844 under, 10.706. They're both running D/SA. Leo is running an FS car instead of his '68 Bird.

In SS, Brad was #20, with an .803 under, 9.697.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

Don't know what's up with Leo's listing. It shows his 2000 Bird, but lists the class as FSS/I. And he's at the bottom of the list with a DQ. Maybe the next shot will clear it all up.

In the 2nd round, Brad was #21, with an .807 under, 9.693.

Brad Burton was #21, with an .807 under, 9.693, in the Burton GT/HA '91 Bird.

And, I suppose Leo has completely abandoned Pontiac, since he's listed with a '15 Camaro.

Therefore, I reckin there are only 3 Pontiac powered cars at this race. There have been quite a few Pontiacs at many of these West coast races, in recent years. This is a little discouraging to a Pontiac fan.

Brad & Randi Lyn both survived round 1 of Stock.

Brad cut a slow light & lost in SS.

OK, there's a nat event in AZ, & a div 2 race in South GA this week.
Qualifying starts tomorrow. Don't expect many Pontiac powered Stock/SS cars.

Looks like Randi Lyn & Brad Burton have the only Pontiac powered Stockers at this race. Randi was #19, & Brad was #42, in Q-1.

Because of rain coming sat, they plan to run a couple of rounds of elims today, after Pro qualifying.

No Pontiac powered Stockers at this race.

Jack Good has his '78 SS Bird there.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

Some of the S/ST Pontiac guys are there, too.

They got another round off last night. Brad survived in both Stock & SS.

So, he gets to make at least 2 passes today.

Brad Burton just won round 4 of both Stock & SS. Now only 4 cars left in each class. How cool would it be if he wins both classes, with Pontiac power ?

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

Well, the bad news is that Brad lost, in SS, when his opponent cut a .005 light, & Brad was a little slow.

But, the good news is that he won in Stock & is headed to the final.
