That track normally hooks very well!

People I know will drive past two other tracks to get to Bowling Green.

Has anyone seen what the payouts are for the classes? Too far to go run for a trophy.

The POCI Nats. was July of 2011. It was 95 degrees. JR. and I made a time run side by side. Both Black 69 GTO's ran identical ET's 11.168.
Some guy came by our pit area an asked "how the hell did you guys do that?"
It's a Pontiac thing.

The Denver divisional was in June, Scott won that deal....

Seen Michael Brands name on Indy entry list, Todd Hoven also, car listed as hard times, Trumans old car name...appropriate since the car was Trumans.
Robert Cruzen is listed in S/S in his 428 powered Cobalt.

Jack Gaydosh entered in pro Stock.

There were a couple other Pontiac stockers...

I think you are confusing the US Nationals held in Indy and the Pontiac US Nationals to be held in Bowling Green Ky.

Took a couple of reading comprehension courses 2-3 years ago, didn't score as high as I needed to, guess I'm still at that level

Hmmm... Nostalgia race usually falls within a week of this George... maybe do both and make a vacation out of it... Nashville isnt far off and plenty to do around there(Bowling Green). Fwiw there were only three Pontiacs at Holley Hot Rod reunion this year that I was aware of... All 3 I spoke with had best 60 fts ever!
