Re: July 1975 NHRA class records
Only noticed 2 Pontiacs on the list. But, to me, they are both famous, in Pontiac Stock racing history.
As many here probably know, Mick Leiferman was Stock RU @ Indy, 3 years running, from '75 thru '77, & was part of the All-Pontiac final, in '77, which Mike McKinney won. Mick's '71 GTO was a nat record holder for 5 years running, '73-'77.
For some reason, I've only been able to come up with 2 pics of his car. If anybody has some other good ones, please post.
The other car on that list is the Tons-a-Fun wagon, driven by Charlene Wood. I think her & Gary had at least 2 of 'em. One had a Lemans hood, & the other had a GTO type hood. I know Charlene won a lot of stuff with the wagons, including the nat event in Canada. IIRC, it was called the Grandnational maybe.
Anyhow, Charlene was inducted into the division 1 hall of fame. If I have any of this wrong, maybe she'll chime in & correct it. I know she's a member here & posted on the Best Pontiac Powered Stockers thread.
