That's right. The NHRA Lucas Oil Series will kick off next month @ SGMP, in div 2.
The next week is the Winter Nats in Pomona. So far, there are 3 Pontiacs on the Stock pre-entry list. C.W. Hoefer has the strong running '73 D-port 455 Formula.
Lindy Lindholm is listed with his '74 Bird, which was stolen. But as I posted, Leo Glasbrenner found it & completely restored it & put it back into top race condition. He surprised Lindy with it at a race. And it seemed to run just fine.
Leo is listed with his '68 Bird. But he told me over the phone that he had it apart, doing a lot of upgrades & probably wouldn't have it on a track 'til later in the season. We'll see.

Was also hoping Tommy Brown would make it, with his '74 Lemans. He did run some last year. Last race I show him at was the Mar div 7 race @ Vegas.

No SS Pontiacs on the list, yet. Was hoping to see Larry Maxwell, Keri Angeles Pari, & Art Peterson on the list. But, they might make it. Kinda sad to see how many fewer Pontiacs enter the Pomona races than just a few years ago.
The next week is the Ariz Nats, @ Wild Horse Pass. Same Stockers are pre-entered, plus Ryan Warter's '75 Bird, from the Northwest.

That same weekend, there is a div 4 race at No Problem Raceway, in South Louisiana. Looked for race flyers for these races. Didn't find much.
Anyhow, the following week is the "Baby Gators" race, then the Gators the next week. Yeah, lots of class racing action is only about a month away !
