Congratulations to the entire Gaydosh team on the new ride!! Sponsorship is so necessary and so very difficult to put together. (Ask me how I know!) This is great news for a good guy who works very hard . Best of luck this season.

Thumbs up

Jack is a very nice guy. Signed autographs/took pics with my son at PY Show years back. Great talking with him.

If only Pontiacs could legally compete. IIRC, have to run a factory body/brand made within the last five years.

Here’s hoping he can go rounds at the Gatornationals!

That popped up on my news feed a few days ago.. it's a group effort like most pro stock racers.. wish him the best... Jack's always been friendly to me.. he risked a lot when he took the leap into pro stock... hes a good driver... he just never got a big break...

It’s been a while since I paid much attention to NHRA drag racing. I know they went to fuel injection and flat hoods.... someone told me they were racing big inch engines in Pro Stock like IHRA???
What’s the real story?
Those big inch pro stock engines sound awesome!!!
The last year that IHRA competed on a bigger scale, they came to Tulsa. Myself and 2 other Pontiac enthusiasts bumped into Jon Kaase. He was real nice to talk to. Asked him a bunch of questions about his engine masters Pontiac, and such. Shoot we ran out of questions to ask him... lol

I've known Jack since his days of racing his 1st Gen. 9-second Firebird...he's a straight shooter and all around nice guy, always helpful, with the energy of 100 hamsters running on a wheel.
