I'm gonna hijck this thread for a sec- While I know there are alot of fast Pontiacs out there, we are still very overlooked. Ken Keefer replied on the Proline crank post about needing some good forged cranks, cast intakes, and heads that flow---why don't we see many of these products?? At the NSCA or Pro events that I attend I try to talk to the company reps and tell them what we are missing- hoping that someone will listen- but when these reps look in the staging lanes and see the turn out and there are only a very small handful of Pontiacs they don't relay the info back to the companies. Let's face it- we are not going to get alot more stuff until people get off their asses and go to the track. Racing at Pontiac events is fun but that is not where the company scouts hang out. Until we are putting other makes on the trailer then we will be noticed. The cars in the list are fast but who outside of the Pontiac world knows about them?? I applaud guys like Ray,Bruce M, Tommy Thompson, Jeff Pucket, Ken Keefer, Lynn McCarty,etc that are out there putting brand X on the trailer. Has anyone thought about inviting some of the aftermarket companies to a MAJOR Pontiac event?? Go to Fun Ford or Super Chevy and see who is there- go to Norwalk and all you see is used parts- now off the soap box and back to the topic- if there are more people hitting the big events this list of fast cars would be 10 times longer because we would have the right parts to do it with!
