Not sure why you are confused unless you have trouble comprehending what you read.

I was told in an email response that they did not have a race car class (i.e. open header, slick tired, trans brake) for Pontiac’s unless they had a Pontiac V8 engine in them.

I was also told in the same email that the promoters/Sponsors compromised and allowed Pontiacs with non Pontiac engines in them to race in street car class only. BORING!!!





I am glad as well saved me at least $600.00 for the trip and two very hot days at the track!



1. BORING!!!
2. Correct
3. No idea what you are talking about do not live on the internet
4. I looked at the flyer again and the name of the event was US Pontiac Nationals not US Pontiac “Engine only” Nationals. As stated before have old and older Pontiacs, no Chevyiacs. I am just using what Pontiac put in the cars when it left the factory.




Well put!

During the Pontiac event they had in 2011 at Beech Bend I carried home over 20 time slips that I collected in 2 days of racing and I even finished 3rd in the non electronics race car class I raced in. I remember the staging lanes had no cars in them. The announcer was begging for cars to come up and make a pass so I did sometimes even round robin. I had a great time that weekend!

For what it is worth, I would love to see a 350 CI Pontiac V8 pump gas engine in a 3,300lb Pontiac run in the 10’s in the quarter mile in any kind of weather all day long with no power adder like my Formula does. Best ET to date 10.47 at 127+ MPH at 3,370 lbs.


Also I helped at a 2 day Pontiac event they had last weekend with over 200+ Pontiacs in it. They did not turn one Pontiac away. Somewhere around 80 of those Pontiac participants did not have a Pontiac V8 engine under the hood. It appeared everyone enjoyed seeing all of the cars.

You make me chuckle at how you come across in your replies. Since you continue to take pleasure in trashing late model Pontiac's, let me lower myself to your standards one time.

The body style of the car you chose to pass off as a Pontiac and spend money on is a far stretch from what most Pontiac enthusiast recognizes as a Pontiac! You have done a great job bringing it from the 15.7 plus second quarter mile screamer from back in the day to the low 8 second car you so proudly typed in your sig for all to see. By your standards you typed above in item #4 you failed when compared to what you typed in your sig. It is not a real Pontiac engine in your car since you are running an aftermarket highly modified / redesign block and the true Pontiac block that came in the car is long gone. I bet you even have Chevy rods in it, but I digress. I want even discuss the top end of the so call Pontiac engine in your car. It is your car and your money that has been spent, so call it what you want.

You most assuredly spend a lot of your time on the net with that post count!

I totally disagree with the above statements from GTO George! So I guess it is safe to say you and I need to agree to disagree! Thanks for your valued input though.

This is very amusing since you do not have a real traditional Pontiac engine in your NOVA!

It is safe to say you are a person that thinks he must always get the last word. Let’s see how long it takes before you reply. Go ahead prove me correct. You know I am correct on the other statements as well.

DAMN...........where do I even start?
My engine will fit a 389 crankshaft, camshaft & you can bolt on a set of 389 heads on it............yea I'm thinking its a traditional Pontiac engine!
My rods they are GRPs.......they are not a CHEVY rods.
My new 1974 GTO ran 16.1 from the factory, I still have my original bill of sales!
My heads......KRE High Ports will bolt on to a 389- 455 block.
I'm not thrashing late model pontiacs just the JUNK Chevy engines that came in them!
As for my NOVA body style.........it's no different then a firebird/camaro, Grand Prix/Monte Carlo or a GTO/chevelle body style........get the picture!!

Yes you are thrashing late model Pontiacs!

Yes I get the picture. You race a car that most everyone thinks is a NOVA not a GTO and it does not have one single 40+ year old traditional Pontiac produced engine part left in the engine bay!!!

Proceed
