I dont think other makes realize the instant torque of a Pontiac. I would think coming off a corner would be very telling. If you ever come to Beaver Road course in Pa. near Beaver Falls I'd like to be there.

Formerly Beaver Run? Raced motorcycles there many years ago, soon after it was built. Back then facilities were minimal but the track was excellent.

I believe so never been there. From net track looks nice. My good Pontiac friend Gary lives near there. John Labuda (56 Pontiac gasser at Norwalk) races his Fiero there. John says he helped there to get his' feet wet'. I always wanted to road race always(Herb Adam's ,Chaparrals). Drag was cheaper.
ELarson are you running leaf spring rear suspension? I still have that 74 good TA shell.

Yes you know the mind thinks I can. Taking that 74 shell and using it for a road race car using Herbs ideas. Problem $$$$ for the needed dry sump(I just think it is insurance but probably not needed),then the best brakes(when i was young didnt think much about them other than they are there), then the engine best parts$$$$. So car body may go down the road. I have the original 74SD TA, the put together 73 SD drag car,a 10k 67 400 4spd ,4.33,RA. Firebird. And my sitting 63 Lemans,(326 3spd long gone) project. 57 olds,400 m40. At 75 I'm seriously thinking selling the shell.
