Watching SS E-2. Monte Howard just won a double breakout race. So, he & the Bird are goin to round 3.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjUCuxHu0b0 Cool to see the lone Pontiac, still going rounds, after all these years.  By the way, Randi Lyn Shipp is the co-announcer for this race. Michael Brand moved on to round 3, in Stock. Last edited by ponyakr; 03-20-2021 at 08:50 PM. |

Shucks ! Monte got treed in round 3.
 BUT, Michael Brand won his round ! So, the SD455 powered baby blue Bird is the only Pontiac left. Last edited by ponyakr; 03-20-2021 at 09:31 PM. |

Bo Butner ain't gonna race Pro Stock much this year. So, I assume that Randi Lyn won't get to race the Bird much either.

Michael won round 4 !
If he can win round 5, he gets a bye into the final. How cool would it be for an old Pontiac to win this BIG pot. ALL RIGHT ! Michael gets a bye into the final round ! A few drops of rain brought things to a halt, just as Michael was ready to make his bye run.

Michael won the Stock portion.
But he lost the Stock vs SS final. Wonder how bad it feels to lose $40,000 ? |

And to not win it being that close too. Was a hell of a race though first drag race my kid watched all the way through w me. Just wish he’d won it in the final w real Pontiac power that would have been so cool. But he took stock so that’s pretty big still.

Here are pics of Brad Koivisto's '74 Ventura & Michael Brand's '73 bird, from the SSS event.
Notice that the Vent has a flat hood, with no shaker scoop. But, it still has the GTO grill lights & GTO decals. So, I suppose all that is OK with NHRA, since he's been running it that way for a while now. Michael changed over to the shaker hood/scoop when he switched to the SD455 engine. Considering the non-original set-up on the Vent, I wonder if the SD455 Formula could get by NHRA running the FG twin scoop Formy hood ? It was suggested by a guy on the Class Racer site that Michael & his final round opponent MAY have decided to split the big pot, before the final round. That makes good sense to me. I think that's quite common at the big money bracket races. Last edited by ponyakr; 03-21-2021 at 08:22 AM. |

This FB page has lots of video & short interviews with drivers. One of the videos shows Brad Koivisto's '74 Ventura, in the staging lanes, along with a short interview. Brad calls it a GTO, even tho it does not have the GTO shaker hood.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
