Won't be long 'til the 2022 season will begin.

Here's the NHRA nat event schedule. Kicks off in the middle of Feb, @ Pomona.

The Lucas Oil Series div schedule begins Feb 11 @ South Georgia.

We've lost quite a few Pontiac racers in the last few years, to other brands. But, there are still a few die-hard Pontiac class racers out there. So, there should be plenty of races to report on, where one or more Pontiac V8 powered class cars are running.

For the '2022 season, 2 Pontiac combo's got a 5hp reduction.

Here's the details, in this Stock Elim thread post.

That's right. The NHRA Lucas Oil Series will kick off next month @ SGMP, in div 2.

The next week is the Winter Nats in Pomona. So far, there are 3 Pontiacs on the Stock pre-entry list. C.W. Hoefer has the strong running '73 D-port 455 Formula.

Lindy Lindholm is listed with his '74 Bird, which was stolen. But as I posted, Leo Glasbrenner found it & completely restored it & put it back into top race condition. He surprised Lindy with it at a race. And it seemed to run just fine.

Leo is listed with his '68 Bird. But he told me over the phone that he had it apart, doing a lot of upgrades & probably wouldn't have it on a track 'til later in the season. We'll see.

Was also hoping Tommy Brown would make it, with his '74 Lemans. He did run some last year. Last race I show him at was the Mar div 7 race @ Vegas.

No SS Pontiacs on the list, yet. Was hoping to see Larry Maxwell, Keri Angeles Pari, & Art Peterson on the list. But, they might make it. Kinda sad to see how many fewer Pontiacs enter the Pomona races than just a few years ago.

The next week is the Ariz Nats, @ Wild Horse Pass. Same Stockers are pre-entered, plus Ryan Warter's '75 Bird, from the Northwest.

That same weekend, there is a div 4 race at No Problem Raceway, in South Louisiana. Looked for race flyers for these races. Didn't find much.

Anyhow, the following week is the "Baby Gators" race, then the Gators the next week. Yeah, lots of class racing action is only about a month away !

There are now several of these Stock/SS groups around the country. Hope they all succeed.

It's this weekend. Hope some of the div 7 Pontiac powered cars will be racing.

I didn't look at the list yet, but if Michael is in Super Stock he will be running his Cobra Jet.
If he is in Stock then the 73 455SD Formula.

His wife may drive the Bird.

Here's the flyer for the big Class Racer Nats race, which will be in July. I assume it's has the biggest purse of any Stock/SS only, event of the year.

Yes, I talk to Linsay pretty often for work. She sold her GT car and has been driving the 73 for a while.
Here's a video I took at the NMCA race a few years ago. She can drive.

Looks like Leo Glasbrenner won Stock @ the Pomona NHRA Winternationals.

He told me that he is doing some upgrades to his '68 Bird. When it's ready, he's suppose to take it to some races, while trying to sell it. Had no offers on it last year.

So, I have to assume he's getting completely away from Pontiac power.

Probably sent in his entries to some early races, not knowing exactly when he'd be able to race the Bird. That's why some of the pre-entry lists show him driving the '68 Bird Stocker.

OR, I suppose he could have already sold it. Only talked to him once.

[ponyakr]

The div 4 race is this week, in South Louisiana, & the Baby Gators race is next week.

Here are the run schedules.
