Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
Well, a LOT of pics no longer show. And, of those that still do, I didn't see a single Pontiac.
There were a few Pontiac M/P & Gasser cars.
Some of the FX Pontiacs ran M/P.
Gay Pontiac & Arnie Beswick ran some Gassers.
There were also some other GTO Gassers.
I think the Pontiac Gassers mostly just did booked-in match-race deals.
Some of the Gassers evolved into "Funny Cars". I actually don't know how to tell the difference in some of the early Pontiac Gassers & Funny Cars.
I suppose Arnie Beswick is the most well known Pontiac powered Funny Car racer. During his career, he raced just about every class, with some sort of Pontiac powered car.
"...Arnie was credited the first nine-second funny car run. The "Tameless Tiger" was rebuilt to be much lighter than when it first raced in super stock. Beswick later went 8.30s with the car!..."
