Bill Rink #1 Qualifier !
Somebody here usually makes a big deal over #1 qualifiers. But, since this one is Pontiac powered, I may be the only one here who cares enuff to post it.
At Earlville, as far as I know, Bill had the only Pontiac powered SS car entered. He ran 1.145 under, to get the #1 qualifying position for the day ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...er=30#indextop |

Re: Bill Rink #1 Qualifier !
I’ve always noted Bill’s car, which is exceptionally clean, and it’s amazing performance. Similarly classed, he’s set the bar very high for many of us. What, like 15 class wins in a row at Indy, not sure what the record is but that has to be close. Congrats Bill.

Re: Bill Rink #1 Qualifier !
Not only is Bill #1 in S/S, but there are 2 '74 GTO's in Stock. You don't normally see that many at one race. Very cool.
Bill's car has been one of my favorites for quite some time now.

Re: Bill Rink #1 Qualifier !
Bill, thank you for coming on here and answering all my questions. I was wondering how long you had been running the '74. Thanks for beating me to it. Good luck in the coming years and keep that '74 GTO going strong.
I love that it is a small tire S/S car, not tubbed.
