2022 Pontiac V8 Powered Class Racing
Won't be long 'til the 2022 season will begin.
Here's the NHRA nat event schedule. Kicks off in the middle of Feb, @ Pomona. https://www.nhra.com/schedule/2022 The Lucas Oil Series div schedule begins Feb 11 @ South Georgia. https://www.nhra.com/news/2021/nhra-...-2022-schedule We've lost quite a few Pontiac racers in the last few years, to other brands. :( But, there are still a few die-hard Pontiac class racers out there. So, there should be plenty of races to report on, where one or more Pontiac V8 powered class cars are running. |

That's right. The NHRA Lucas Oil Series will kick off next month @ SGMP, in div 2.
The next week is the Winter Nats in Pomona. So far, there are 3 Pontiacs on the Stock pre-entry list. C.W. Hoefer has the strong running '73 D-port 455 Formula. Lindy Lindholm is listed with his '74 Bird, which was stolen. But as I posted, Leo Glasbrenner found it & completely restored it & put it back into top race condition. He surprised Lindy with it at a race. And it seemed to run just fine. Leo is listed with his '68 Bird. But he told me over the phone that he had it apart, doing a lot of upgrades & probably wouldn't have it on a track 'til later in the season. We'll see. https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PC1&cc=8&rn=1 https://www.nhra.com/schedule/2022/n...nals-presented Was also hoping Tommy Brown would make it, with his '74 Lemans. He did run some last year. Last race I show him at was the Mar div 7 race @ Vegas. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop No SS Pontiacs on the list, yet. Was hoping to see Larry Maxwell, Keri Angeles Pari, & Art Peterson on the list. But, they might make it. Kinda sad to see how many fewer Pontiacs enter the Pomona races than just a few years ago. :( The next week is the Ariz Nats, @ Wild Horse Pass. Same Stockers are pre-entered, plus Ryan Warter's '75 Bird, from the Northwest. https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PA1&cc=8&rn=2 https://www.nhra.com/schedule/2022/n...zona-nationals That same weekend, there is a div 4 race at No Problem Raceway, in South Louisiana. Looked for race flyers for these races. Didn't find much. Anyhow, the following week is the "Baby Gators" race, then the Gators the next week. Yeah, lots of class racing action is only about a month away ! :) https://gainesvilleraceway.com/racing/ |
AZ Stock/SS Race
The AZ Stock/SS Association is holding a race @ Tucson Dragway, Feb 5 & 6.
Includes 2 complete races, with separate payouts both days. $1200 to win. $500 RU, plus round money. http://classracer.com/classforum/sho...55&postcount=7 There are now several of these Stock/SS groups around the country. Hope they all succeed. |
AZ Stock/SS Race

Winter Nats Pre-entry List
John Schloe, Ryan Schloe, & Tommy Brown are now also on the Stock list.
https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PC1&cc=8&rn=1 Keri Angeles & Art Peterson are now on the SS list. https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PC1&cc=7&rn=1 |
Div 2 Race @ SGMP
Here's the run schedule.
Qualifying begins Fri. https://www.facebook.com/NHRASouthea...733921/?type=3 I assume Michael Brand will have his Bird there. Don't know about any others. |
I didn't look at the list yet, but if Michael is in Super Stock he will be running his Cobra Jet.
If he is in Stock then the 73 455SD Formula. |

Class Racer Nats
Here's the flyer for the big Class Racer Nats race, which will be in July. I assume it's has the biggest purse of any Stock/SS only, event of the year.

I won’t be racing in Bowling Green this year but if you made the trip up, I’d head out there (without my car) and hang out for the weekend. It would be good to see ya at a race. |
