2021 Pontiac Powered Class Racing
Well, 2020 was a VERY strange year, in a lot of ways.
Don't know what the coming year will bring. I'm sorry I had to report that several Pontiac racers jumped ship.  But, there are still a few of the faithful out there. And, with lots of plague vaccine coming, maybe some things will get back to normal & racing will be in full swing by Summer. NHRA has posted race schedules. Don't know if any of these race dates will have to be changed, or not. https://www.nhra.com/lucas-oil-divis...eries-schedule https://www.nhra.com/lucas-oil-divis...ional-schedule https://www.nhra.com/schedule/2021 |

Good Luck to Kevin MacNicol this weekend in Orlando!
Good luck to all the Pontiac guys headed that way! I’ve been working day and night trying to get my new trailer together and motor back (new rings and bearings after 500+ passes) together trying to get ready for the up coming season.

In today's Stock qualifying, Lindsey Brand was #16, with a 10.63, in the baby blue '73 SD455 Bird.
http://classracer.com/classforum/sho...2&postcount=27 The class run-offs are suppose to be on NHRA TV, beginning Fri at 8:30 am Eastern time. https://www.nhra.tv/ I tried to sign up for the free feed, but couldn't. Said my Email address, which I'd just used to sign up, was not in their system. So, I suppose you must be an NHRA member before you can even sign up for the feed. Anyhow, I assume that for NHRA members and those who join, and sign up, the free feed is supposed to be available Fri morn. Don't have anything yet on the SS, S/G, or S/ST classes.

In Q-2, Lindsey ran a 10.62, which was #21 @ .930 under. Allen Hollingsworth was #61 @ .773 under, in his D-port 455 '73 Bird.
https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop Didn't recognize any SS cars as being Pontiac powered. But, with he GT rules, you can never be sure. Last edited by ponyakr; 03-05-2021 at 07:50 AM. |

According to NHRA live timing, Kevin MacNicol survived at least 3 rounds of S/ST.
https://www.nhra.com/results/2021/lu...s/super-street It also shows that Allen Hollingsworth lost in round 3 of Stock. https://www.nhra.com/results/2021/lu...ock-eliminator I don't trust live timing, because I've seen so many mistakes there. So, if anybody has any updated race info, please post it. |

Yeah, that's definitely the quickest '74 Ventura Stocker, ever. I assume it's the ONLY one to ever run in the 10's. Guessing it's the best ET ever, for the car. That's nearly as quick as Bill Rink's Super Stock '74 GTO. But hey, Bill may be holding back a little, to avoid a hp factor increase. Never did find out for sure why Brad quit running the shaker hood last year. Just assume it was for convenience. Don't know if there is a performance or weight advantage. Anybody know ?
AND, this may be the biggest Stock/SS purse ever. https://speedsport.com/drag-racing/o...r-march-19-21/ http://www.goracesgmp.com/home.htm https://www.facebook.com/goracesgmp/ This FB page has ALL the race details. https://www.facebook.com/SouthernSportsmanShowdown Just a quick glance at the Q-sheet showed Monte Howard driving a '78 T/A Super Stocker. I assume it's the same car he drove several years back, when Ken Shawver still owned it. I assume it is now owned by Jack Good. As I've probably said, that may be the winningest Pontiac powered Super Stocker. It has been quick for a long time. IIRC, it won class @ Indy several times, & qualified high on the list many times. Pretty sure I posted the info, & some of the pics that Monte gave me on the car, on the Super Stock thread. Last edited by ponyakr; 03-19-2021 at 09:45 PM. |

And to not win it being that close too. Was a hell of a race though first drag race my kid watched all the way through w me. Just wish he’d won it in the final w real Pontiac power that would have been so cool. But he took stock so that’s pretty big still.

Kev did a great job considering he was fighting the car, that's why he is a Champion. He just knows how to get it done. We paired up in the 3rd. Dylan is killing it, he will a bad dude when he gets in a big car.

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.
