Kind of such as rare item , one would never expect to see !

I made the rounds and BSed with each group, chatting up and learning about their cars, and that I own two different segments of Pontiacs. I think some in turn checked out my Goat, thus I did get a third place trophy .

All in all, great day in mingle and learn more about Pontiacs.
Yes some great cars certainly did well. And they were deserving. I just find it odd that anything modified gets lumped together.

Very different to pick up a catalog today and buy parts Vs a vintage race engine from 1970 that was experimental and shouldn’t have ever left Pontiac that was raced by a dealer.

Not saying one is better then the other I own both myself . Turbo car and the RAV pro stock. But dint think they are even close to the same thing .

The two yellow cars are the same car 50 years later .

Why isn’t a firebird w an aluminum radiation moved into modified. Or a car w aftermarket bumper that looks stock that came from
China. My point is there’s no classification for these old race cars . That were a very significant part of Pontiac history .
