Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Just ran across this. Can't verify.

The caption under the pic says that Mary Ann Foss was the 1st female to hold a nat record. It was for top speed. D/SA is on her '58 Pontiac, in the pic. Also painted on her car is that she was a class winner at the 1964 Indy race.

Here are the NHRA Stock records, as of April '65.

Several Pontiacs on the list. Jess Tyree held the A/S record. Ronnie Broadhead held the the C/S record, in a 389 Cat. Pontiacs also picked up the D/SA & E/SA records.

The car in the 1st 2 pics was driven by Ronnie Broadhead. He was Stock Champ, broke the record 3 times, & won class at Indy, all in the same year.

Some of the other cars were record holders & class winners.

At the Winter Nats, Brad & Randi Lyn both survived Stock E-1.

Found a few more pics.

The first 2 are nat record holders. The next is a stick wagon.

Then there are 2 B/S GTO's with lady drivers. Don't know if it was for the "Powder Puff" race, or not. Back in the old days, I never ran across many stick cars with lady drivers. Not that they can't. It's just that they didn't, at the tracks we raced. But hey, there are lady truck drivers who shift gears for
a living, driving 18-wheelers.

The '56, with the wild paint job, I posted because the pic was taken at Green Valley. It was a famous track in the D/FW area. It's more than 200 miles from us. But we raced there 3 times. Twice in '77 & once in '78. They held the div 4 bracket finals there in '77 & '78. Have probably posted it earlier in the thread, but our 1st race there, in '77 is the race from which TJ got a little ink in the Nov issue of Hot Rod mag. She'd drove a '68 E/SA Bird in '75. Then all our local tracks switched to brackets, therefore we did too.

At the '60 Nats in Detroit, Jim Wangers won his class & Frank Barnett won A/SA. I think Jim won overall "Mr. Stock Elimunator".
