Re: Gators
 

Speakin of the Gators, there is a guy on the entry list named Bruce Noland, from Leesburg VA. He's listed with a '69 Firebird 400.

I found that he raced a 2nd gen Camaro Stocker. Not many '69 Birds in competition nowadays. So, does anybody here know anything about this car ?

Re: Gators

Re: Gators
 

Stock and Super Stock will be parked in the “back forty” for the national event. For the Baby Gators you can park in the pro pits.

Re: Gators
 

Thanks for that info !

I'm lookin forward to seeing how it does this year. Assume it will see action in lots of div 1 competition. Wonder if any of the other div 1 Pontiac guys are helping him with it ?

Seems like most of the Pontiacs are up in the Midwest, in div 3 & 5. Will be nice to see another div 1 Pontiac. I hate to look at a Q-list & see just 1, or maybe no Pontiacs at all. :(

Re: Gators
 

I'm kind of annoyed at myself that I drove all over gods creation to get 6 grade points and I can't even smell an entry into the Gators. I really don't think that it's fair that a division has at least 3 national opens that their grade points count towards national events held in other divisions when the hosting division doesn't have any national opens to get points. I know I'm going to hear that I could have went the national opens, but the traveling just to get the 6 grade points was over 8000 miles. At this point in time, I have to rethink any kind travel to get points since I'm in the same boat as when I had 2 grade points, can't get in.

Mr. V. Eight Pontiac, I believe it is a Trans Am, and Bruce is the person who got the data submitted a few years ago . If I'm wrong , I'm sure he'll tell me ;-)

Re: Gators
 

Only if you are not entered in the Gators.

Re: Gators
 

Casey,
Division 2 had 6 National Opens in 2019 I think.
There is 7 scheduled for 2020
