That's a wrap for 2016. As always, info about additional Pontiac V8 powered wins, not covered here, is welcome. Still several quick Pontiacs. In today's competitive racing, it takes exceptionally good drivers to go rounds & win races. That's why the really good drivers have lots of div & nat event wins, during their racing career.

I think this is the 1st time Larry Maxwell's GT car has turned up on a list I posted. To me, it's a very interesting build. The car is a '68 Bird. Looks like it could be a Stocker. And, it was apparently built to run just a hair under it's index. Has a Pontiac 350 for power. Just presumption on my part, but I assume that the 350 is all a planned part of the build, so that a big-tire set-up won't be needed.

Yes, I know that Bill Rink & Mike Morgan are going quick with Pontiac 350's. But, Larry's 350 build is different. Dan Fletcher has proven, beyond any shadow of doubt, that you can win races without being the quickest car in your class. On almost every list I've seen him on, which is now quite a large number, he is very near the bottom, just a safe distance below his index.

But, who knows, Larry may be planning a quicker set-up, at some point.

That's a wrap, for 2018.

Keri drove just one of the Pontiacs that switched over from reg SS, to GT. Since so many reg SS cars have done it, there must be one or more advantages.

I run my 91 Formula as a GT/FA with an oval port 454 Chevy engine . The 1973 Formula I have has always run a 455 SD , since I bought the car in 1982 . That car was orginally purchased by Rock Running . Basically a race car its entire life .

2019

OK, this season will catch us up on recent Pontiac SS race results, which are available on DRC.

At the Winter Nats, Leo was #22 @ -.825. Larry Maxwell got his '68 Gt Bird down into 10's for a #45 position. J.B. Clegg got the #48 position, in John's original '73 SD455 Bird. Art Peterson was #57.

I think the rebuild of the Clegg '73 SD455 Bird made it's debut at the 2018 US Nats, with a 9.746, good enuff to make the field.

That gets us thru June. As usual, I didn't list all the nat & div events, even some where Pontiacs were entered. And, as of this minute, I don't know how to look up results of any other smaller and/or special events.

So, again I ask that any of you guys who know of events I haven't reported on, in which any Pontiac V8 powered car may have done well, please post that info. Thanks !

That's a wrap for 2016. As always, info about additional Pontiac V8 powered wins, not covered here, is welcome. Still several quick Pontiacs. In today's competitive racing, it takes exceptionally good drivers to go rounds & win races. That's why the really good drivers have lots of div & nat event wins, during their racing career.

I think this is the 1st time Larry Maxwell's GT car has turned up on a list I posted. To me, it's a very interesting build. The car is a '68 Bird. Looks like it could be a Stocker. And, it was apparently built to run just a hair under it's index. Has a Pontiac 350 for power. Just presumption on my part, but I assume that the 350 is all a planned part of the build, so that a big-tire set-up won't be needed.

Yes, I know that Bill Rink & Mike Morgan are going quick with Pontiac 350's. But, Larry's 350 build is different. Dan Fletcher has proven, beyond any shadow of doubt, that you can win races without being the quickest car in your class. On almost every list I've seen him on, which is now quite a large number, he is very near the bottom, just a safe distance below his index.

But, who knows, Larry may be planning a quicker set-up, at some point.
Larry Maxwell is running the same motor as mine. The one year only 1974 GTO 350 200 HP w/#46 heads and 7.62 compression.
