Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers

OK, I'll continue now, combing thru the DRC archives, searching for Pontiac SS info. This will be for 2000. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago.

At Pomona, Keri Angeles was #21 @ -.851, with a 9.999 ET. That's a 400 powered non-GT SS Pontiac. I've read that was the first one to dip into the 9's.

Keri also got RU at this race.

At Phoenix, Keri was #29 @ -.825. Don Kennedy was #31 @ -.815.

At the Gators Peter was #27 @ -.970.

At this VA race, Peter was #12 @ - 1.120. Wilbert Thornton was #57 @ -.773, with his SS/KA '74 T/A. Also, Dean Ribeiro had a '85 Bird. Since Dave is a Pontiac guy, I was wondering if dean may have run Pontiac power in that car.

At the Southern Nats, Peter was #22 @ -.954. Sal Biondo shows up on some of these lists with both 3rd & 4th gen Birds. So, who knows which Sal Biondo Birds were Pontiac powered ?

Peter won it !

That gets us thru May. There were some of these Pontiacs that qualified in the middle or lower part of the field, at some races, which I didn't report, since they didn't get even to the semi, during elims.

There were LOTS of 3rd & 4th gen GT Birds on these lists, at almost every race. But I have no way of knowing which may have had Pontiac power. I assume that 99 % or more had Chevy power.
