2016 Pontiac Powered Class Racing
Well, it won't be too long 'til the class racing cranks back up. I was just lookin at some of the NHRA specs for popular Pontiac engines. One that has been competitive is the '77 350. It has been factored at 250hp for a while.
But, for this year, they added 4hp, if it's in a Bird.  That may not seem like much. But it means the car will have to be heavier, to run the minimum weight for it's class.http://classracerinfo.com/EngineSpec...3&MAKE=Pontiac Anyhow, good luck to all who will be racing Pontiac powered cars this season. We had some big wins last season. Hope for more this season !  Unfortunately, Bill Edgeworth passed away towards the end of last season. His '77 Bird was a National record holder. Ryan Warter drove it at a race, and was trying to help sell it, if I have my facts straight. Don't know if it sold or if anybody will be racing it this year. If anybody has more info about this car, or any other class racer news, please post it. Thanks !

Less than a month now, 'til the Winternationals ! There are several familiar names, on the pre-entry lists, with Pontiac power, in both Stock & Super Stock. Hope they all get off to a good start.

Winters Week
Well, it's finally here. It's Winternationals week !
It always seems to remind me of 2 things. The 1st is the line in the GTO song, which starts "Take it out to Pomona...". And the 2nd is the thought of Mickey Thompson's FX Tempest cars, back in '62 & '63. http://www.hotrod.com/features/histo...ntiac-tempest/ Last edited by ponyakr; 02-08-2016 at 01:34 PM. |

Movin East
The big NHRA show moves to Arizona this week.
The pre-entry list shows 6 Pontiac Stockers, including Rick Unterseh's 301 Turbo Bird, with a new paint job. https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PA1&cc=8&rn=2 Looks like 3 Pontiac SS cars entered, including Don Kennedey's GT/AA Sunfire. https://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEve...=PA1&cc=7&rn=2 http://www.nhra.net/2016/images/NHRA...schedulePA.pdf Division 4 also has their 1st race of the season this week, down in Houston. Sometimes J.B. Clegg will bring out the old '74 H-O SD455 Bird. Last year he made a 9 sec pass with it. Hunter Pierdolla also made an appearance last year with his '74 Bird. http://sportsman.nhra.com/2016/Flyer/41.pdf Good luck to all Pontiac powered racers !

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
