There was also at least one Pontiac wagon that was a Stock nat record holder, back in the '60's.

And, of course, when the GTO came out, there lots of dealers & individuals that raced 'em. The 1st real quick one that I ran across was a '65, raced by Knafel Pontiac. It was an NHRA record holder, national Stock champ.

I suppose the winningest GTO, at least for a single season, was the Knafel '66 model "Tin Indian". It won 2 nat events & numerous other races. Bill Knafel sponsored lots of quick Pontiacs, during the '60's & very early '70's.

Royal Pontiac also had some quick Pontiacs during those years.
