Gators

[oldskool]

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 ?

It’s a brand new car, AND I am sure that it’s nice,

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.

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.

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 ;-)

Only if you are not entered in the Gators.

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

Just the way nhra wants it. In a few years it will be just the pros at National events.
