Anyhow, he had a pretty good run with it ! Bob said he sold it. "...The Dave Edwards car was sold to Tony Goodman, then to David Horne if that helps..." Looked up those 2 guys. Did find some races where they drove it. 7/2/05 - div 3-2 - #7 - 1.049 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop 7/16/05 - div 3-3 - #11 - 1.010 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop Made it to the semi-final, but had to settle for 3rd place. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop 6/16/07 - div 3-2 - #2 - 1.227 under.

From looking at so many Q-lists, I've seen quite a few of 'em. Some of the names are not familiar to me, at all, especially some who live in Canada. One that shows up on lots of lists is the car I call the "Biondo Bird". It has been driven by several members of the Biondo clan. Usually not at the top of the Q-list, but quick enuff to be competitive. 6/9/01 - div 1-2 - #67 .474 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2001#indextop 8/31/01 - US Nats - #113 - .813 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2001#indextop 9/8/01 - div 1-6 - Peter Biondo Stock R/U. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2001#indextop 9/21/01 - AutoZone Nats - #26 - .894 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2001#indextop 5/17/02 - Englishtown Super Nats - #39 - .957 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2002#indextop 8/31/02 - US Nats - #63 - 1.001 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2002#indextop 9/12/02 - Lucas Oil Nats - #45 - .963 under https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2002#indextop 5/15/03 - Englishtown Super Nats - #61 - .939 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop And, since this is a Pontiac thread, I'll mention that this is the race that Al Vanis won, nearly 30 years after winning the US Nats, in a '74 Ventura. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop 6/8/03 - div 3-2 - #43 - .909 under. Don't remember how much info I've posted about the Don Himes GP. Anyhow, this Q-list shows that he ran 1.078 under, with the big GP. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop 7/27/03 - div 1-5 - Won the Race ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop 8/23/03 - div 1-6 - Stock R/U. At most races, the car qualified somewhere around .700 under, sometimes a little quicker. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop 8/29/03 - US Nats - #79 - .991 under - Semi-Final red light. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop 5/29/04 - div 1-1 - #54 - .956 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2004#indextop 6/13/04 - Pontiac Nats - Stock R/U. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=7744 9/3/04 - US Nats - #93 - 1.073 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=2312 9/6/04 - US Nats - Stock Round 6 - Lost in Semi-Final. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=2115 6/17/05 - Englishtown Super Nats - #36 - .883 under - Stock R/U. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop 9/2/05 - US Nats - #82 - 1.011 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= https://autoimagery.photoshelter.com...AA67CVy&GI_ID= Attached Thumbnails Last edited by oldskool; 08-19-2020 at 07:11 PM.
