Sounds like Perfect representation at a Nostalgia Race. Fords, Chevys, Mopars, and ONE PONTIAC. In the 60s it was Arnie. Today it is you.

Well there WAS bit of difference there in capabilities, Jack.
Arnie would drive anything at its max capability.

Remember now, Jack, George DID make $75.00 in prize money at the "NATIONALS".

The Wilhites told Deb they were running this weekend. They change their minds? Glen Lever might be there with his dragster. There were a couple other Pontiacs last year. Year before last was an old Pontiac dragster from Texas built in 59( 59 389 with blower)

George its only Tuesday night, I doubt you'll be the only Pontiac.

In the 70's Arnie very rarely out ran someone...... He was close just not close enough.

The NMCA just canceled this week's Indy event due to "Tropical Storm Bill".

Unfortunately, for some of them, yes. I'm glad you're out there making a showing for Pontiac!
