Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Well, since the live timing info is not reliable, at all sometimes, I almost hesitate to post any of their info.

But, when there is no online live streaming, & DRC won't have any results 'til late night, I suppose live timing is about the only source there is, for the latest race results.

With all that in mind, live timing is showing that all 3 Pontiacs I mentioned lost in the 1st round of Stock elims.

That's the bad news. The good news is that apparently another Pontiac joined the party, for the 4th qualifying round, this morning. The driver's name is C.W. Hoefer. He has(or at least had) the '73 4X head 455 powered Formula, that I mentioned, which belonged to Adam Davis.

IF C.W. is indeed driving that '73 Bird, he had the only Pontiac powered car to survive Stock E-1.

One additional note from Q-4 is that IF the numbers for Ryan Schloe are correct, he ran a little quicker, going .969 under, in his '73 Bird.

Right now, the only other car I can think of that ran this engine is the '73 Formy owned by Michael Brand. Michael even pulled off a holeshot F/SA class win @ Indy.

But, last season he ran the SD455 engine, and moved the car from F/SA to D/SA.
