And the next ‘56 is probably Ed Beyer.
Ed Beyer had a 1960 Pontiac after the ‘56 and it was nice ! Maroon ...

There's a guy in my hometown who bought an '81 T/A brand new. He got a 305 because he said that's the only way he could get the 4-speed he wanted. Don't have many miles. He brings it to the local car show occasionally. He also owns an original '77 Bandit Bird. A guy that raced with me one year, had it new. He'd drive it to my shop, to work on a '69 GTO bracket car we built for him. Hey, that's just a little ancient Pontiac trivia for ya'll, free of charge. Probably won't mean anything to anybody but me. But, it's just a little bit of my Pontiac history. Last edited by oldskool; 01-02-2020 at 04:33 PM. |

I worked as a line mechanic in the mid to later 1970's at a local family owned Pontiac dealer... and worked on those Bandit Firebirds all the time......and occasionally someone brought in an earlier '70's SD Firebird along with many other cool cars.....

We drug it out of a backyard and are returning it back to stocker status, as it had been converted to a bracket car. Should be racing this year with my wife driving it. It will have another 301 Turbo back in the car.

![]() Hope you can gather up enuff 301T parts to keep 'em both running for as long as ya'll wanna race 'em. It's lots of fun when you & your wife can race together. It's REALLY fun if you meet in the finals, while everybody else is loading up, or has already left ! ![]() |

While cruising DRC for SS info, I usually check the Stock results also. Thought I needed to put this here.
At this race, Pontiacs were #1 & #2 qualifiers. Kyle Riley was #1 @ 1.254 under, in his '77 Lemans. Bill Rink was #2 @ 1.228 under. Tim Gillespie's '68 GTO was #39 @ .936 under. Sal Biondo was #61 @ .602 under. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2004#indextop And speaking of Sal Biondo, he got RU at the Pontiac Excitement Nats ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2004#indextop The Biondo clan has quite a history in Pontiac class racing. |

Well ya'll, these eyes are just too tired to focus on any more DRC race files, tonite.
So, I'm gonna take a short Cajun music break, then get some sleep. Good Night, ![]() Last edited by oldskool; 01-03-2020 at 08:17 AM. |

Arnie Toftland's F/SA GTO. It's about a half hour from me and has been kept in as-raced condition. Check out the JR Headers decals...they were on a lot of winning Pontiacs.
