Default Don Kennedy 3rd Gen GT Contd.

I did some posts about Don Kennedy. For those who are not aware & have not read what I posted, Don proposed most of the original rules for the GT category of the Super Stock class.

He was racing a '73 Bird as an SD455 powered Super Stocker. After NHRA adopted the GT rules, Don switched over to an SD455 powered 3rd gen Bird, to run in GT Super Stock.

After running it for several years, he put it up for sale in around '09. I don't think I posted this - can't remember. Just run across the thread he posted here in the For Sale section.

As most know, he switched over to the 428 powered Sunfire, he still races. Some will remember that he got the GT/EA class win, at Indy, in 2019 ! That's also the year that Todd Frantz got the GT/FA class win, also with 428 Pontiac power.

Anyhow, Don Kennedy is a long time Pontiac Super Stock drag racer.
