Default E-2

Don Turk & Kyle Rizzoli move on to round 3. But, it'll take 4 more round wins, to make the final.

Default Div 1

Looks like all the Pontiacs survived E-1.

That includes Dean Ribeiro, in his '77 Bird, which is a former national record holder.

At the div 1 race, Todd Hoven made it to the Stock quarter final round, but no further.


It's obviously BBC powered, but I thought this pic was worth posting. This Cat is on the div 1 S/G 1st round winners list.

There is NHRA action this week on the East coast, the West coast, and right here in my home state, less than 100 miles from me.

The Carolina Nationals is on the East coast. I can see 3 Stockers and 1 Super Stocker, on the list, with Pontiac power. The Stockers are driven by Randi Lyn Shipp, Adam Davis, & Michael Brand.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

Peter Biondo is driving the "Hatari" Bird, in SS.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

The West coast race is in div 6, in Woodburn, OR. I assume Brad Burton & Ryan Warter will be there, for sure.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

And the div 4 race is at Thunder Road Raceway Park, in Gilliam, LA. J.B. Clegg & Hunter Pierdolla, are usually the only Pontiacs that race in div 4. Last year, Hunter ran at this race, but J.B. didn't.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

Good luck to all those racing with Pontiac power this weekend !

Adam Davis drove the only Pontiac to survive the 1st round of Stock, at the Carolina Nationals.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

Round 2 is not scheduled til after 6pm tonight.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

Hunter Pierdolla drove the only Pontiac to qualify at the div 4 race. Been there, more than a few times, even when there were still lots of Pontiacs on the streets.

Out on the West coast, Ryan Warter & Brad Burton once again made it an all Pontiac final, in the Stock Challenge race !

This time Ryan was the winner.

At the Carolina Nationals, Adam Davis got knocked out in the 2nd round of Stock, but Peter Biondo survived 3 rounds of Super Stock. That leaves 7 cars for round 4.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop

Out on the West Coast, some more Pontiacs showed up to qualify for Sunday's div 6 race. Leo Glasbrenner brought his Stocker & Super Stocker. And Lindy Lindholm brought his Stocker. So, we now have 4 Pontiac powered Stockers & 1 SS entered. Good luck to all.

Yeah, it may take a real good light to win the semi final. Peter's opponent has cut a .001 & a .000. You can't get much better than that.

But, Peter has won a lot of races, so I won't bet against him.

Congrats to Peter for another Pontiac powered national event win !


I also just noticed that Peter ran about 2 tenths under his qualifying time, for the heads-up GT/CA semi-final win.

The big event this week is called the Midwest Nationals. In Stock, the Pontiac faithful are represented by Randi Lyn Shipp, Julie Biermann, Don Turk, & Adam Davis. Randi Lyn qualified #3 in Q-1.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...UMMIT#indextop

As of post time, SS Q-1 has not been run yet, but there are 4 Pontic Super Stockers on the pre-entry list. They are: Peter Biondo, Greg Meyer, Mike Morgan, and Bill Rink.

Also, Matt Tankersley is on the Super Gas list.

http://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEven...I1&cc=10&rn=20

There's also a race out West, in div 7. There are several Pontiacs entered. Looks like at least 4 Stockers & 3 Super Stockers. Thy're expecting a rain-out today.

All the Pontiac Stockers survived E-1 ! Don Turk won a really close race, with both drivers cutting a good light & running their dial-in.

It's still raining out West. But, they expect sun by noon.
