Pretty car. I presume it is a corporate-powered beast and not a "real Pontiac".

Back in about 1973, while at NASA Apollo, I raced my 1965 Pontiac GTO 4-speed at the now non-existent "Houston International Raceway" in Dickinson, TX. This was located right behind the Gay Pontiac dealership off the freeway.

One day, Don Gay showed up with his funny car and I talked to his wrench James Osteen for a while. By that time, the Funny Car had a Hemi in it although initially it had a RAV Pontiac. Osteen said they couldn't get the RAV to be competitive.

Those were the days.

RA5 just needed some more R&D time.

I assume you mean on the hat...the injectors are at the base of the hat ( if it has them at all, some dont run them) and on the intake runners....

I think that track closed own late 80s Craig. Return road felt like you were off roading! We had at least one local Trans Am Club event there.

Baker's car was based on a 79 body style
(unless he had another one after this one - idunno)

The WarBird looks based more from the early to mid 80's body style.

Yeah, looks like Don Prudhomme's old 1982 funny car.
