DC - Do you have any results lists for 69? I’m just starting to write up the page.

I have original Pomona sheets somewhere, have to dig em out. I have a narrative from drag news for 69 Indy, no results sheets. Here are the files I built from that, including the usual few guesses in pink, but also a couple that are just plain listed wrong, which is also all too common. For example C/SA=8.50 Morgan shows a GTO. No GTO ever ran up that high. Morgan had a 63 Max Wedge wagon. D/S=9.00 lists Robertson in a 69 Buick but again no such combo. Could be a RamAir4 or a 67 Z28. SuperStock narrative is really unusual. They list: *Winner *1st Alternate (I call runner up or RU) *2nd Alternate (I call ALT) I've never seen one written up like that, but there we are. I was surprised to see a 64 LWG Galaxie in there as RU as late as 1969. This was the last year the 64s could run in SS due to the 5-year rule, and the 63s were already gone from SS.

They got the car down to high 11s with slicks.
Main thing is, they confirm SS/B with R code, SS/C with W Code Mag is dated Sept 67. |

Since I'm always lookin for the Pontiacs, I couldn't help but notice that the new RAIV powered Pontiacs won D/S & D/SA.
![]() Rod Kister had won the Stock points championship in '68, with his big '60 Pontiac rec holder, also named "Big Iron". Then the '69 Judge was followed by a '70 Judge Big Iron. Not familiar with the other driver's name. John Thropp ran at least 2 different '57 Pontiac bodies. Last edited by oldskool; 09-22-2021 at 07:49 AM. |

His 1960 389/363hp Super Duty car, followed by a 400/370hp (factored to 380hp) RamAir4 69 GTO, and then a "base" 400/350hp 70 GTO, all with national wins/records. Kister was runner-up in D/S=9.00 class here at 69 Indy. The narrative I have says Robertson won D/S, but in a 69 Buick and no Buick will fit that class. So I guessed Robertson ran either a RamAir4 or a Z28. Then from this picture out of Petersen, found with the help of another Class Racer, I concluded this was probably the D/S race where probably Robertson in the Z28 won against runner-up Kister in the 69 RamAir4 https://archive.petersen.org/pages/p...php?ref=320033 |

![]() You listed 3 POSSIBLE D/S driver/car combo winners, since you were not SURE who, or which combo, won. I only looked for the blue color to check out the Pontiacs. Never even noticed there were more than one D/S listed. ![]() NOW, do you have any more info on the single D/SA driver you have listed, "b bunker" ? That name does not ring a bell, for me. I have pics of lots of '69 GTO's. I don't know the names of the driver, or drivers, of all of 'em. If the guy's name was Bill or Billy, I suppose the "Billy's Goat" car I have a pic of could be the car. But it's a long shot. Would like to know more about that reference to Peterson. How do you look up drag car pics there ? |

DC - Your 69 Indy list has a Z28 winning E/Stock (Durbin)....so not sure how one could also win D/Stock? Sorry if that sends you back to the drawing board.... |

But by late 1968, that 4v glass hood combo disappears from the NHRA guide, and then the records set by those cars vanish too. So that never-factory combo went away, at least until the last few years. It's legal again now. Makes our sleuthing even more difficult. We'll get there. |
