Just read coverage of the 1958 Pikes Peak Hill Climb (36th annual running!). The picture is of Bob Korf taking second place in stock class with his '57 Pontiac. Stock class was won by Nick Sanborn Jr. in his '58 Pontiac. They beat out all three of the 348-powered cars entered by Chevrolet!

The caption under a "champ" car picture: "Potent Pontiac V8 powered the John Zink entry driven by Louie Unser. Car was hard to control but flew down the straighaways." Louie did have the quickest qualifying time, but finished fourth in the race.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
