I agree with the DUDE we should stick to the last couple of years. History is great but that's just what it is ....HISTORY. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
But, don't you see, George?
That's the thing about Pontiac racing history; and the sad thing, as well.
Those numbers that were put up as far back as 35 years ago, really haven't been marginally improved on in as many years.
It's particularly sad, especially given the huge strides made in engine block, cylinder head, induction, and camshaft design in this long of a time frame.

Scott, I disagree.
It's only been in the last 10 years of the 35 that you mentioned that any degree of improvement in parts has occurred.
And as for the times, we have racers today that are going as fast as Top Fuel cars did 35 years ago, and they're doing it in heavier door cars on alcohol.
