Quickest "Real" Pontiac
I've got a buddy who is a diehard Pontiac freak, and he asked me what the quickest run by a Pontiac stocker was,, and he said "I don't mean those corporate V-8s or LS motors,, I'm talking a traditional real Pontiac engine." I told him I didn't know,, but I knew who to ask,, and I see that Scott Burton ran a 10.35 in "B" at Phoenix, and I can't think of any that have ever made "A" weight,, so I'm deferring to the masses.
I'm sure Scott's .35 has been bettered by someone or himself. Nitro Joe, can you help? I'll see my buddy next weekend at breakfast,,,, thanks for any info. Danny Durham |

Re: Quickest "Real" Pontiac
I would think that's a good possibility.

Re: Quickest "Real" Pontiac
This might help. In the January 2013 issue of High Performance Pontiac there is a 5 page article on Scott's Firebird. In the article it states that he has run a best of 10.17 at 128 m.p.h with a 60 ft. of 1.292. According to the article, I believe he was at "B" weight. I have met Scott and his son Brad and found both of them to be great guys and very accomplished racers. Brad was N.H.R.A. Stock champ twice.
For comparison, I believe Leo Glasbrenner has been in the 10.30's in C. I don't think his 68 will get any lighter than that, I could be wrong. In Super Stock I believe Bill Rink's '74 G.T.O. has been in the 10.50's in SS/LA. Again I could be wrong. Would love to hear if either of these last 2 cars have been quicker.

Re: Quickest "Real" Pontiac
Don't think Scott has had the opportunity to run in mineshaft conditions either....pretty impressive indeed.

Re: Quickest "Real" Pontiac
Ron,, thanks for the info,, you're right they're a couple of good guys,, and I'm sure you'll recall that occasionally, the 2 time champ has hauled his Firebird out to Bremerton and run in Pro Bracket with us, although I haven't had the pleasure of lining up along side of him yet. Probably a good thing.
Jim,, its a shame that the Mission Raceway divisional got moved into June, away from the mineshaft conditions that sometimes occurred in May. That would be quite a tow for Scott,, so I hope he finds good conditions somewhere else. Danny Durham |
