Well, while the guys were doing good in NHRA races this past weekend, J.B. Clegg had a good weekend at the IHRA race, in Texas.

They had a double header. J.B. got RU at the 1st race & made it to the semi-finals, in the second race, with his '74 SD455 SS Bird(the old H-O car). His dad, John Clegg, won the last race. But, I don't think John is running Pontiac power in his 3rd gen. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Anyhow, congrats to the Clegg's for a great weekend of racing.

I assume the '74 in the background of the 1st pic, is the Stocker, driven by Hunter Pierdolla.

Default 2 Div Races

This weekend there is a div 4 race at No Problem Raceway, in Belle Rose, LA.

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

The only Pontiac powered cars I know of, that might be there, are J.B. Clegg's '74 Bird Super Stocker, and Hunter Pierdolla's '74 Bird Stocker.

There's also a div 7 race, in Vegas. I assume that most of the Pontiacs that were there last weekend, will be entered this week.

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

Hoping for another big Pontiac week. Good luck ya'll.

Default Vegas Q-1

I think I can count 8 Pontiac powered Stockers, in the 1st round of qualifying, at Vegas.

Default Belle Rose Q-1

Looks like the '74 Birds driven by Hunter Pierdolla & J.B. Clegg, are indeed the only Pontiac powered cars entered, at the div 4 race. Hunter turned an .870 under 11.28, and J.B. turned a .732 under 9.81.

Unhappy More Vegas Rain

They're supposed to run the 1st round of Stock & SS today. But, there is another rain delay. May have to run the whole show tomorrow.

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

Looks like all 4 Super Stock Pontiacs are back, from last weeks Vegas race. Don Kennedy is qualified #5.

Default 9.75

Wow ! J.B. Clegg got his '74 SD455 Bird down to a 9.75. I assume it is the quickest non-GT, Pontiac powered Super Stock car.

Unhappy And Even More Rain !

Well, I thought Vegas was in the desert, and had very little rain.

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...ual%20rainfall

But, they've had rain delays 3 days in a row.

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

There are over 600 cars there. So, even if they're able to restart today, don't think they'll have time to finish.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...10699#indextop

They usually finish the national events on Monday, if necessary. But, I don't know if they'll do that for a div race or not ? Sometimes they finish 'em at one or more later div events.

Unhappy Called It Off

Well, they rescheduled the Vegas race for a mid-week finish, in Nov, the week of the last div 7 race, in Vegas. (Subject to change)

Default Div 2

There's a div 2 race today and tomorrow at zMAX. Looks like there are 3 Pontiac powered Stockers--Randi Lyn Shipp's 1st gen, Adam Davis' 2nd gen and Dave Ribeiro's '77 Lemans, which might be the car Bob Michael ran last year. Anybody know for sure ?

Dave told me about that car the last time I saw him. I think he'll chime in eventually.

Default Jeff's Win

No, it ain't a class car, but it was a BIG win for Pontiac power ! So, I'll add my congrats to Jeff Verdi for his big win at the K&N Spring Fling.

Great job Jeff !

Michael Brand has the only Pontiac to survive round 2, as his opponent left too quick.

Default Class Wins

Well, it appears that they never got around to running round 3 of Stock today, as scheduled.

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

But, they posted a list of class winners. Michael Brand is shown as the G/SA winner. And Adam Davis is listed as winner of the Auto Combo class. So, congrats to both !

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

I assume Michael will race tomorrow, in round 3.
