I add my congrats to Lindsey, for her G/SA class win ! Hey, a 10.916 on a 12.00 index is a pretty decent run, huh ?
![]() Several Pontiacs got a RU finish, in their class. These include: Scott Burton--B/SA, Julie Biermann--E/SA, Bob Michael--K/SA, Bill Rink--SS/MA, Scott Burton--GT/GA, and, as mentioned, Greg Meyer--GT/HA. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Here's a link to today's live feed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlD603xx_Dg Last edited by ponyakr; 05-29-2016 at 02:43 PM. |

A little shameless self promotion from the Maple Grove points race this weekend.
Just imagine what it'll do when I take out the TRW motor and put the good motor in ;-) |

A little funny one from Bowling Green....we wereBSing in the pits and Someone asked how many Stockers are here? The answer was ALLLLL OF THEM LOL. But glad to see someone was waving the Pontiac flag in Maple Grove! It was great to make that 8.5hr drive to hangout with my Pontiac friends....I have no idea how Kenny did in S/ST but I was a 1st round duck that's why I'm posting this from the house.smh Ken it was great talking with you while we watched the stock class finals!

There is a National event and 4 div races scheduled, this weekend. The big race is in New Hampshire. The only Pontiacs I see there, are the 1st gen Stockers driven by Randi Lyn Shipp and Adam Strang. Adam is qualified @ .912 under, & Randi Lyn is .876 under.
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop The div races are in div 2, 3, 5, & 6. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Not sure how many Pontiac racers will be in action. But, good luck to all !

There are no Pontiacs on the Q-list at the div 2 race.
At the div 5 race, Scott Burton has both his B/SA & his GT/GA entered. In SS, Carrol Warling is entered with his SS/MA record holder. The Stocker list also shows a Norman Warling entered, with an L/SA '62 Pontiac. This brings 3 questions to mind. (1) What kin are Carrol & Norman ? (2) Is the '62 the same '62 GP combo that Bob Michael is running ? (3) Since Norman & Scott are both listed as living in Golden, CO, how involved is Scott with Norman's car--like maybe all 3 help each other ? http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop There is also a GT/AA '10 Chevy listed, driven by Robert Cruzen. Robert Cruzen's GT/AA 428 Pontiac powered car is usually listed as an '06 Cobalt. So, is this GT/AA '10 Chevy, Pontiac powered or Chevy powered ? Anybody have the lowdown on Rob Cruzen, Robert Cruzen, and their Super Stockers ? I'd like to get 'em all straight. Don't wanna put out bad info.

Up at the div 6 race, Ryan Warter & Don Elgin are representing Pontiac power. Ryan qualified #1 @ over a second under his index.
![]() http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop At the div 3 race, there are several Pontiac powered Stockers, with a little '74 GTO qualifying in the #5 position, and Don Turk's '74 GA #6. Greg Meyer is qualified #3 in SS, with his GT/GA '92 Bird. ![]() http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop They've had some weather delays at the div 3 race. But, here's a link to the live feed for today, anyhow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElaqZ4N5qDM Last edited by ponyakr; 06-04-2016 at 06:29 PM. |

First the 62 Catalina is a new build. Carroll is my Brother and has helped me with the Catalina. It is the same combination as Bob Michaels. I live about a mile from Scott Burton and we are good friends. I have helped my Brother with his car for a long time and decided I needed to build a car. You also missed a 1972 GTO at Great Bend Thank You for reporting I always read your post. Norman Warling

Yeah, I can see the '72 GTO on the Sat Q-list. The car was listed on Fri, but the '72 GTO part was missing. Reckin you could post some pics of your car and his, for us. In fact, any pics of the Pontiac powered cars at the race, would be appreciated. Thanks ! http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop Also, any details of your build, that you are willing to share, would be interesting. A lot of guys don't know what makes the Stockers tick. And, I just noticed that the Sat SS Q-list shows 2 cars driven by Robert Cruzen. I assume this is a father & son. It would be great if you could check 'em out and see if the GT/AA car has Pontiac power. ![]() http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r2016#indextop Last edited by ponyakr; 06-05-2016 at 12:42 AM. |

At the div 5 race, Scott Burton got RU in the Stock / SS combo race. His opponent cut a string of great lights, on the way to the final. Scott tried to push the tree and left too quick.
But, he needed a good light, since the other guy cut a .027. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop |

Wow, Scott & Brad Burton had a great weekend, for Pontiac power !
In div 5, Scott had already got RU at the Stock/SS combo race, earlier in the weekend. Then, Sunday he won Stock Eliminator ! ![]() http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop Then, in the div 6 race, Brad Burton won the Stock class, to complete a nice family race weekend ! And, if that's not enuff, the #1 qualifier, Ryan Warter, was RU, with his Pontiac powered Bird ! ![]() http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop Congrats to these guys for a great weekend of Pontiac powered racing !

guessing index class's don't count

Yes, any of the index classes they run at races such as the NHRA & IHRA national events and divisional races are included. This would definitely include the 8.90, 9.90, & 10.90 classes. Some of the class names are Super Gas, Super Street, Quick Rod, Hot Rod, etc.
Now, in my area, the smaller tracks have a variety of brackets and index classes. I have no way of knowing what Pontiacs are running at these smaller events. And nowadays, the biggest payouts, by far, are at the big bracket events. I can't possibly keep up with all the big bracket races all over the country. So, I started a thread so that anybody can post their bracket and index info. The title of the thread is "2016 Pontiac Powered Bracket Racing". http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...Bracket+Racing So, please, any of you guys who have any Pontiac powered bracket or index info, please post it, on that thread. This can include info about upcoming events. If you know of a big bracket or index race coming up, please post a link to the race flyer or other info. Here's an example from a track we use to run. They run brackets and at least one index race, every month. http://www.prescottraceway.net/ Or, if you are just running one local track, post the info when you do good. If you're running for points, keep us posted on how you're doing. If you don't post it, most will never know of your Pontiac powered racing accomplishments. We always ran small local tracks. So, except for an IHRA points race win, none of our wins got any national mention. But, with this site, most of the Pontiac world can hear about your car & accomplishments. Because of my racing background, whether it's Stock, Super Stock, bracket, index, or even dirt track, I love to hear about a Pontiac doin good against the other brands, especially if they beat a Chevy !

This weekend we have the Summernationals, in Englishtown, and a div 4 race, in OK.
The big race starts today. The only Pontiac drivers I've spotted so far are: Randi Lyn Shipp & Todd Hoven, in Stock, and Sam Biondo in SS. http://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEven...EJ1&cc=8&rn=10 http://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEven...EJ1&cc=7&rn=10 They're supposed to run 2 rounds of qualifying today, in Stock & SS--but no results posted as of right now. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop |

Randi Lyn & Todd Hoven both qualified in the mid 10's tens, with their 1st gen Stockers--Todd @ #22, Randi Lyn @ #39.
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop In SS, Sam Biondo is @ # 29, with an .810 under 9.59, in his 428 powered 4th gen. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop |

Here's a pic of the "Hatari" 428 powered 4th gen, driven by Sam Biondo. The pic was taken at the Summernationals.
According to an at race reporter, the plan for Fri is to have 1 more round of qualifying, then run class elims, then run the 1st round of Stock elims. ![]() http://classracer.com/classforum/sho...9&postcount=30 Last edited by ponyakr; 06-10-2016 at 02:20 AM. |
