I so loved that car that it made me into a diehard Pontiac guy and I swore I'd have one like it someday. And here we are....sorta

Is that it in your Avatar? I’d bet your neighbors wasn’t jacked like that one.

Yes it is and no it wasn't.
Mine's a little faster than the stock '72.

I’ve been to Norwalk twice. Both times it was so stinking hot, I couldn’t sit in the bleachers all day. I may have seen it run not knowing who’s car it was, after all there’s a lot of birds running there.

You would know it if you heard it. A real Pontiac engine on 90% nitro is hard to miss.

Actually now that I see the wording on the side BOSS I believe I saw it in the pits, being worked on. My very good friend Bill Bolin was also racing and we were in the pits a lot. Perhaps one day I will get to see this car run.
