Randi Lyn won another round, by laying down a real good package. She needed it, because her opponent ran exactly his dial-in.

Michael Brand lost his 1st round, in Stock.

In the 2nd round of S/ST, Jimmy Daniel lost, but Kevin MacNicol won. I assume the '69 Bird pictured below is his car & that it has Pontiac power. But, I've been wrong before. So, if somebody knows different, please post the correct info.

Kevin has a beautiful car. His son has been killing it in Jr Dragsters for a good while. He married over his head as well. Great family and love hanging out with them at the track. Class act.

There are only 2 NHRA National Events left this season. This one is in Vegas.

Chris Stephenson is #14 on the Stock Q-2 list, at more than a sec under his index. Norman Warling is #19. Adam Strang is also running strong, at #26. I assume he is still running the 350HO. Not sure. Randi Lyn is #59.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...UMMIT#indextop

Bill Rink, Robert Cruzen, Carroll Warling, Brad Burton, & Leo Glasbrenner are all running Pontiac powered Super Stockers, at this race. Bill & Robert are more than a sec under.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...UMMIT#indextop

In Stock Q-3, Norman is #25 & Chris is #27. Both are more than a sec under. Adam is #37 @ .949 under.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...UMMIT#indextop

In SS Q-3, Bill Rink moved up to #4, @ 1.142 under. Robert Cruzen is #15.

Chris Stephenson won D/SA. Randi Lyn Shipp was RU. Norman Warling left too soon & had to settle for RU, in the Combo-Auto class.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop

Chris & Adam Strang survived Stock E-1. Unfortunately, Randi Lyn had to run Chris 1st round. Chris ran a 10.579. That's a pretty decent pass for a D/SA Pontiac. The D/SA index for this race was 11.74.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r=100#indextop

Leo Glasbrenner & Robert Cruzen survived the 1st round of SS.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

Some staging lane pics were posted on the Class Racer forum. Chris' Bird is obviously in the background of the 1st pic.

Rick Unterseh cranked up the boost & moved up to the #4 position. There's a '78 Bird in #5 position. Don't know a thing about the car or driver. Anybody have any info ?

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop

Bill Rink moved up to #1, on the SS Q-1 list. The little GTO is running good !

According to the specs listed on Friday's DRTV coverage, the '78 Bird has a 400 Pontiac engine. Must have just got the car together. It's blue. But the entire Formula hood is white.

Here's a link for today's Drag Racer TV coverage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZHCtKt9GiE

Drag Racing trivia: The DRTV announcer said that Scott Burton flies a 747 Jet. Never heard that before. And, Leo Glasbrenner's alum head 428 powered 4th gen is now painted red, instead of white.

C.W. Hoefer & Adam Strang had the only Pontiac Stockers to survive E-1.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...UMMIT#indextop

Bill Rink, Robert Cruzen, Todd Frantz, & Leo Glasbrenner survive SS E-1. I think those last 3 cars are all running the alum head 428 combo. It seems to be very competitive. Scott Burton & Don Kennedy also run it, as well as the Hatari 4th gen. Not sure of any others.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...UMMIT#indextop

Rick Unterseh reported that he was told that the guy with the '78 Bird just got the car running this week. Been there & done that. They let him run, but said he'd have to paint it before the next race.

This is the last national event of the year. Chris Stephenson is in #1 position, in his '68 Bird, with a 10.376. Don't know if that's the best time for the car, in that class, or not. Quickest time I remember ever seeing. C.W. Hoefer, Adam Strang, & Randi Lyn Shipp, also turned in some good numbers.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...UMMIT#indextop

In SS, Robert Cruzen didn't miss the 8 sec zone too far, with his 428 powered Cobalt. Leo Glasbrenner & Art Peterson also have there Pontiac powered Super Stockers entered.

C.W. Hoefer's Stocker was the only Pontiac to survive the 2nd round of competition. And he got a bye in the next round. So, he's got the only Pontiac still in competition. The Pontiacs are not exactly going out on a high note. But, several Pontiac racers had a good year.
