Recently, I learned of the passing of "Wild Bill" Alexander. Am happy to have had the pleasure to meet him and get to know him a bit.
Here he is at what has to be one of his finest moments in his driving career when he drove the Pontiac powered AA/Fueler Earnie's Camera "Shutterbug" in 1962 to a win over the Greer/Black/Prudhomme AA/Fueler at Lion's Drag Strip in Wilmington, Ca.  This shot shows Bill checking the heads.  The next 2 are not pre 1990 vintage ( what this thread is intended for ) but, does tie into the above pics- Here is Bill with the newly recreated Pontiac Shutterbug around 2004 at Bakersfield.  And here is Bill sitting in my then new Pontiac powered AA/Fuel Dragster in 2003. Not the best pic but, the only one I have with him sitting in my car.  RIP Bill and thanks for your contribution to Pontiac performance.

Somebody sent me a bunch of these photos a few years ago. Forgot I had them until recently and decided this is a good place to post them up. American car transporter pics from the fifties. Not sure if there is any Ponchos in there though...

I heard someone say that it had burned, but someone else said that it wasn't true and they knew where it was but wouldn't say where. I would love to have it.

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.
