Give me some division and/or nat events you ran, with the Pontiac engine. I did a search for your name on DRC. Got results from several Bruce's, but not yours. Then tried B Campbell. Got results for several Campbells, but not yours.

OK, you mentioned Bristol. Found you at Bristol '03, running a GT/HA '88 Bird. Was #69, with a 10.743. So, if I understand your info correctly, this was done with a 6X head 400 Pontiac engine. If this is NOT correct, please post links to Q-lists where you were running a 6X head 400.

So, can you name some races that would be on the DRC files, where you ran those low 10's, with Pontiac power ?

Would love to have some good pics for my files, so I can post 'em in a few places. There are probably several other Pontiac powered GT cars I don't know about, that have run since GT began, because the brand of engine is seldom listed on DRC Q-lists. And I have even less info from before 1998.

Bruce.
In 2002 would this be with the 6x 400 power?

I don't think it's one of the few that are still out there.

I somehow missed this. I'd seen pics of a Sal Biondo win. There wasn't a real good pic of the entire car. But, I'd figured out that it was a '74(or at least LOOKED like a '74).

Therefore, I would have never guessed it to be the old H&M '73 car. Did Phil Monteith buy it from Phil Szupka, or ?

Decided to compare the #1 pic to this #3 pic I have of the car when Phil Szupka had it. I can see one sign that this is indeed the same car. The "NHRA" just over the door is in exactly the same place & at the same angle. Looks like they changed the contingency decals & lots of other stuff, but retained the NHRA nat record holder words over the doors. Have no idea what happened to it after that.

Irvin Johns just made an 8.782 pass in his 428 powered Cobalt. If that time is correct, I think it is the quickest ET ever, for a Pontiac powered SS car, in competition.

The previous quickest pass I'm aware of was 8.90, made by Robert Cruzen, in his 428 powered Cobalt, in his GT/AA class win @ Indy, back in 2016.
