Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Thanks Mark !

Looks like Barbara & Larry both drove that Bird. Her # was 7701. Sometimes listed as a '72, sometimes '73. Would like to know the history of that car, both before & after Larry had it.

That search has already turned up lots of Pontiac info, & stuff I need to ask questions about.

(1) Found Carol Yacavone driving an '80 Bird. Assume it was a 301T ? Some of you guys always know who built 'em & everybody who's owned 'em. So, what's the story on this Bird ?

(2) This list shows Scott Burton in a '73 Bird.

Have seen it listed as a '71, '72, & '73. So, is this the same car that eventually became the car that Brad Burton has raced ? If so, did Scott build his '70 B/SA Bird, or buy it from someone else ? Would just like to know the history of both Burton Birds.

(3) There were three '67 Birds on that list. Bryan Phillips still has his. The only other active '67 (that I know of) belongs to Randi Lyn Shipp. So, was one of those '67's the car she has now ? If so, is the other one still racing in Stock, somewhere ? The driver names are Steve Glenn & Rod Keeney ?
I can do a search on their names. Have spent many hours searching, on just this one thread. But I love to get info from those who were there & knew the cars/owners/drivers.

Couldn't help but notice that Bob Mulry was #1 @ more than 1.5 sec under. What an awesome Bird that was !

That 301T Bird wasn't too shabby either, @ 1.298 under.
