The last 2 Pontiacs got knocked out in E-3.

Out in div 7, most of the 1st race of the doubleheader got rained out. So, they're gonna finish both races today.

Default Div 7

In the 1st race of the div 7 double header, Scott Burton survived 3 rounds of Stock elims, with his '70 RA IV Formula.

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

But, he just barely broke out, in the quarter final round, when his opponent cut a .004 light.

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

Don Kennedy made it to the final 5, in SS.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...19282#indextop

Both Brad Burton & Leo Glasbrenner made the top 10, in SS.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop

Maybe the Pontiac guys will do better in the 2nd race.

There's a National event on the East coast, this weekend. But, yesterday's schedule got washed out.

They're trying to get the track dried out, so the action can begin today.

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

There are a few Pontiacs entered. According to the pre-entry list, Randi Lyn Shipp & Adam Strang will be running Stock, and Sam Biondo will be running SS.

Good luck to these Pontiac powered racers !

Default Q-1

They finally got in a round of Stock qualifying, at the NHRA Dodge Nationals.

Randi Lyn was #15, with a .948 under, 10.602, in D/SA.

Adam Strang was #21, with a .919 under, 10.731, in E/S.

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

The air & track conditions must be good. There are some quick times. One of the late model Stockers ran an 8.11. I think that's the quickest ever run in Stock(if you can call those cars Stock).

There's talk that some of the sportsman classes may not finish elims til Monday. But, many of 'em are staying over for next week's Dutch Classic, anyhow.

Adam tripped the red light, in round 2.

Default That's all, folks.

Sam tripped the red, in E-2. So, that's all for the Pontiacs, at this race.

Just stumbled across this video of the Stock class elims from Indy. Thought some of you guys might enjoy it. There's plenty of engine sounds. And there are several Pontiacs included.
