Didn't even know this existed until someone found it for me (I don't do Facebook) but it's my favourite now.

Sorry, I don't know how to post a picture but here is a link.....

https://pontiacstreetperformance.com...onthelight.jpg

My car at the 2000 Pontiac Uprising in Ark City, KS.
My son was driving, I believe his second time behind the wheel.

I like the picture because the green light is on and the glow of the yellow light is visible. 10.79 at 124.9 mph.

Here's an old one. Can't remember what year but I'd guess close to 20 years ago. I think we were at a race in Columbus. Arnie was strolling through the pits and took a liking to dad's car. Said he had one just like it in 69. Ended up signing the sun visor and talked for a good while.

I have so many good pics of Stock & SS Pontiacs, it's REAL hard for me to pic just 1.

Hey, it's hard for me to pic just 5.

But, since the limit is 5 pics per post, I'll just put 5 on this post.

#1 is the former Scott Burton B/SA RA4 powered '70 Bird. It is the all time quickest Pontiac powered Stocker, as far as I know.

#2 is the Brad Burton D/SA 455HO powered '72 Bird. Brad has won lots of races & 2 national Stock championships in it.

#3 is just a cool pic of those 2 Burton Birds.

#4 is Randi Lyn Shipp, in her '67 Bird Stocker. She has won 7 nat events & is this year's div 5 Stock champ.

#5 is the former H-O Racing Specialties SD455 T/A. It was a nat rec holder back in '77, in SS/KA. Now belongs to the Cleggs. J.B. ran some mid 9's in it, with a 4-speed trans, a few years back.

1st Alternate might be the Ken Shawver '78 SS T/A. It was a many-time Indy class winner, & was #1 qualifier at Indy one year !

Then there's the Truman Fields '68 Birds, & the several time nat event winning Sonny Ray '72 SS GTO. Or, how 'bout the Mulry & Aceves '74 Bird Stocker, which set nat records in J/SA, K/SA, & L/SA. It also qualified #1 a lots of races & went more than 1.5 sec under it's index quite a few times. Then there are the Tons-a-Fun '72 Lemans wagons. Charlene Wood set records, got class wins, div race wins, a nat event win, & was inducted into the NHRA div 1 Hall of Fame.

Well hey, I could go on & on. But, I'll stop there & post my 5 pics.

About Us

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.
