In '86, and later, there are some names that were associated with Pontiacs at some point during their racing careers. But, I don't know how many, if any, were driving a Pontiac in any of these races. One or these is Ray Stover, who drove the Kathy's Clown Pontiac GTO.
So, I need help from you guys who were racing back then, in identifying the Pontiacs.
On this '86 list, Ray Stover is listed as SS winner @ the Spring Nats. So, was he driving a Pontiac ? Glen Tinsley was RU @ the Northstar Nats. But I'm pretty sure he was already racing under the Ford factory deal.

In '87, Mike McKinney won SS, @ the Southern Nats, & the Keystone Nats. Assuming he was still driving a '68 Bird.

Just learned that Sonny Ray quit driving his GTO, at some point, probably 1982, and began driving Mopars, for others. This article says that he gave the GTO to his son Chuck, who apparently was not a serious racer.
