What can you say.....different strokes for different folks. It is still a Pontiac. At least he thinks it is. I would name or crown him "trinket king"

Speaking of Nancy Sinatra, her blonde conversion/frosted lip makeover after her divorce in the mid 6Os did wonders for her IMO. She really turned into a 'kitten'.
Had some great top 4O and country crossover records too, love 'Sugartown'. ![]() In late '67 she recorded a wonderful album with Lee Hazelwood. They sing great together, this album is full of really good music. She's a little heavy on the eye make up IMO but, still a great look.

Maybe the name "meathead" was given to the wrong person?

How about some music pics? going to see if I can link to a video too.
How about 1961? Pontiac was on top of the world NHRA, NASCAR, Bonneville, you name it. This guy had a great #1 record and several good follow ups. I was in diapers. So I missed it in the live. ![]() Here is one of his hits if interested. Worth a look. How would you like to be on your own little stage platform with 8 or so cute girls dancing around you? Sounds good to me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TLLcvWeiKw

he he, which one Fueler or 66? What a contrast huh? I still got a lot done today even though I am spending too much time here. Picked up 2 more event sponsors, ran errands, picked up parts, made some deals, made arrangement to get a trans built for the blown AWB Funny Tempest, Got some work on the truck doors, yada yada. It does help to have a lap top with wireless internet. Do not have to be glued to a pc. Plus, the day ain't over yet. Still working outside, got a fire going and the HEMI Pontiac looks pretty under the Christmas lights while I work on the 265 going into the '66 GTO.
How about some more pics of LORI and Marlo. Just because... ![]() ![]() Lori Sauders is so cute! I would like to find one just like this.

Jess Tyree at Beeline Dragways 2nd annual AHRA Winternationals, 1965, with his '63 Lemans. Gosh, I wish Beeline was still open but, glad we got Speedworld Dragstrip.

Arnie Beswick vs "Dyno" Don Nicholson 1966. Talk about David vs Goliath! A 3 year old farm built, obsolete Tempest with a 3 year old 'out of date' 421 engine against the very best and all the money and engineering in the world that could be put into a car from FoMoCo! All glass tilt body, overhead cams, etc. This was a best of 3 match race in the south and I think Arnie Won!
What a great photo! This is yet another reason why I like nitro and blowers.

Steve,
This year at the GTO Nat's in Wichita, there were several tech sessions, they were all good, BUT, there was a panel session w/ Craig Hendricksen, Arnie, Jess, Art Peterson, John Clegg, Jim Wangers, and a couple others. Each spoke of their Pontiac Exeriences, and you got to ask questions afterwards.... Man, was that cool!!! There was someone there taping the session, wish I had a copy... Jess Tyree told about how he got involved w/ Pontiac's. He had been at a race (and won it, I believe) w/ his new Plymouth. This Plymouth was also served as daily transportation for he, and his family, and he was still making payments on it...(I'm not sure of the year 57 or 58) Well some nicely dressed ya hoo approaches him, and asks him if he'd be interested in racing Pontiacs??? He didn't know what to say... The guy introduced himself, as John DeLorean... Offered him a free car, and parts.....The car came to the local dealer w/ no invoice and special instructions....The guy from the dealer called, TOLD him to come get this no idling thing off his hands...LOL...The best part (to me) Jess got his parts, it was a whole semi trailer load of parts, he had no where to put ALL this stuff, he had to rent space to store all the extra parts......I wish I could have been at Denver in 1996, Smokey Yunick and John Delorean both spoke at that event...I can only imagine... Get that 265 shoe horned in and tell us about it ![]() Jeff
