Ok going to organize a post of top ten Drag open body and Door cars again, if you think you're fast enough please dig out your best ET slip and email me [email protected] or post below, will post my findings here tomorrow. Will do some catagorizing as guys like Bruce M. and Ray Cox have some big performers with heavier and lesser tired race cars. Everyone should know that there was progress this year and fastest of all time has been shuffled a bit.


Here's the list from 2003 (might have some left out, first time I ever attempted this list)

#1 Rodney Butler 6.91@202
#2 Marty Palbykin 6.95
#3 Arnie Beswick 6.95@215
#4 Bill Mellott [email protected]
#5 Bill Krech [email protected]
#6 Mike Cooper 7.450@175
#7 Jeff Kauffman 7.49@175
#8 Steve Barcek 7.50@189 was he driving?
#9 Dan Sweeney 7.50@186
#10 Paul Spotts [email protected]
#11 Eddie Hill 202mph MAYBE
#12 Eric Larson Grocery Getter Advanced ET? MAYBE


2004 has been a good year!

I am disappointed in your Rob.

Are you excluding John Welter's 6.92 et at 209 mph just because Rodney drove the car?

John's car was faster than Marty's on both counts.

Tom V.

As you said probably just an oversite even though it only happens a few months ago.

Please add the Kauffmans 200 mph pass too.

[Rob]

you're looking at the 2003 list Tom, holding out for the last of the 2004 passes, may even wait until Sunday if guys think they can put something on the board this weekend.

Can't add a KRE 200mph pass, but they were ohh so close throwing off the blower belts twice in a row.

Rob,

I thought you were taking the 2003 list and modifying those items based on the 2004 info.
Sorry!

Then why was that little *****, George giving me crap about the kauffman's 200 mph pass at
Norwalk this year? I hope you read this George as I will be one your butt if you lied
to me about that pass and I apologized and it wasn't true.

Tom V.

[Rob]

Yea still organizing a list for the 2004

I think George rounded up a 199.98 or something. Maybe Mark made a pass that I missed.


-Rob

[Paul Spotts]

Rob - I went 7.35 @ 185 at Atco
7.36 at Norwalk

Scott Rex went 7.68

The 2005 list will be pretty impressive

[Tom Vaught]

Maybe I am the one confused, Maybe George said that they ran in the 6s for the first time (but did not make the MPH).

I might be wrong on my post.

Tom V.

[Ray Cox]

Rob Ill have to dig the slip out, but it was only 8.60 at 162mph 3475 lbs Bruce wins the fastest 10" tire class this year 8.500 at 3350 lbs

[John Bailey (GTOKID)]

I am the slowest heads up guy...9.19 147.89 @3380 at the county. At a race only went 9.25 146 at 3268 lbs them my motor fell out... stock suspention/wheel well -true 10.5x 28.5 with ONLY 3.89 gear

[GTOGEORGE]

Tom,
I said Marks 6 sec. pass never mentioned 200 MPH because he never hit it although 199 is Damn close!

As for everyone else, Rob was talking about the Quickest Pontiac PERIOD not......D-Port or Iron head or 10.5 tire size or I ain't got the GUTs to put my engine in a lighter car thing! Run what you BRING, Wham/ Bham thank you mamm.......if you got it run it..... if you don't, keep it HOME!

[Region Warrior]

GTOGEORGE, reread ROB,s post.

[GTOGEORGE]

OK............I'm sorry!

[Ray Cox]

Thanks Mike

I'd like to nominate 1/2" Stud for fastest Pontiac on paper. Is that "doable"?

be careful Brian you might need to start another post fastest bench racer in 2004 but if you do upgrade the server first

I'm gonna hijck this thread for a sec- While I know there are alot of fast Pontiacs out there, we are still very overlooked. Ken Keefer replied on the Proline crank post about needing some good forged cranks, cast intakes, and heads that flow---why don't we see many of these products?? At the NSCA or Pro events that I attend I try to talk to the company reps and tell them what we are missing- hoping that someone will listen- but when these reps look in the staging lanes and see the turn out and there are only a very small handful of Pontiacs they don't relay the info back to the companies. Let's face it- we are not going to get alot more stuff until people get off their asses and go to the track. Racing at Pontiac events is fun but that is not where the company scouts hang out. Until we are putting other makes on the trailer then we will be noticed. The cars in the list are fast but who outside of the Pontiac world knows about them?? I applaud guys like Ray,Bruce M, Tommy Thompson, Jeff Pucket, Ken Keefer, Lynn McCarty,etc that are out there putting brand X on the trailer. Has anyone thought about inviting some of the aftermarket companies to a MAJOR Pontiac event?? Go to Fun Ford or Super Chevy and see who is there- go to Norwalk and all you see is used parts- now off the soap box and back to the topic- if there are more people hitting the big events this list of fast cars would be 10 times longer because we would have the right parts to do it with!

[PONTIAC DUDE]

Seeing as Mongo is getting Anal........ again. LOL.

I agree Mike.

When ever I go to manufacture events I always bring up the fact that we need their company to offer this and that.

Response. Not enough demand.......... Yet.

I see them making parts for Limited production run engines on stuff such as 351C and 340 mopar. I don't know the reasoning behind it.

And the reps have no clue or even care what the demand of Pontiac parts are.

They just collect that paycheck and hang out with the Big Racing names. Party, party seems to be the word.
