69 Z28 = 10.05 fits F/S=10.00 but didnt win that class

I've heard 428CJ guys complain about having to run against the little toy Z28 cars. Well, the early Camaros were just LIGHT - and the Z28 had a monster cam, and a bigger carb than the 428CJ, so they made some power.

Sorry..my point was if you have Robertson winning D/Stock 69 Indy, how can Durbin have won E Stock in the same car?

OK I looked back at the chart (pg4) but those look ok
D/S=9.00 67 Camaro Robertson
E/S=9.50 68 Camaro Durbin

What I do have is D/S=9.00 Robertson BUICK which is what the narrative said but it's wrong. No Buick up that high for one thing but I have Robertson's car picture from Peterson, it's a Camaro.

Those charts will need some updating after all this, but that's the point!

I thought Oldskool would like this one.
Looks like the H/SA=11.00 runoff race.
Winner, Merkle in the heavy Fairlane Ragtop 428CJ.

R/U, no name but could it be record-holder Mosley?
Car says "Movin On"
65 Cat 2+2, 421/356-6v fits class, 4055/356=11.39

DC - The Poncho is JackBriner, winner H/SA. I think the Pegersen pic was the final run off against Merkle.

Here’s another.

DC....Where’d you get to, you're missed!

I would really be interested in knowing what was the quickest time a legal '66 GTO Stocker ever ran, in national NHRA competition, who sponsored the car, who built it, & who drove it.

Would also like to know what year the last SERIOUS '66 Tri-Power GTO Stocker raced, in national NHRA competition.

I'm not aware of any that have run this century.

May not have been any since the late '60's or early '70's, since there have been so many later model Pontiac combos that were more competitive.

Unless a '66 GTO would show up on some win list or nat record list, I don't know how you'd ever find the info I'm talkin about.

I'll ask on a couple of Pontiac sites I'm on & see if anybody has any related info.

Unfo most win lists don’t detail model, and often not even model year.

I know a 66 2+2 won H/SA...but thats not a GTO.

When I was writing up Pontiac for my site...for 1966, I found it VERY difficult finding any GTO pics of NHRA stockers.

It may be that they weren’t very class competetive....but thats DC’s area of expertise....

The fastest WIN I have is Vanke at Spring 66
12.70 at 108.82
In C/S=9.50 class.
That's also the 1st & ONLY National win I'm showing for the 389 GTO, either 4v or 6v. I think the 400 was rated more competitively.
Seems like after Spring 66, the W30, RA1, and Z28 took over that class.
