Default Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7

Well, about all I saw was Chevy & Mopar stuff.

Thread title doesn't specify brands. So, I'll add some Pontiac flavor into the mix.

Most of these teams began racing in the '60's. But some kept racing into the early '70's, & longer.

One major team was the Knafel Pontiac team. May have been the most successful Pontiac race team ever. Went by the name Anderson Pontiac, before changing over to Knafel. Many of their cars were named "Tin Indian".

They raced a variety of classes, among which were A/FX, Stock, & SS/S. Had lots of class & event wins, as well as nat records.

The Junior Stock book says the team had at least 200 event wins. One of those was Arlen Vanke winning the '66 Spring Nats, in a Knafel '66 GTO.

I suppose the longest lasting Pontiac race team is probably the Mission Garage team. John Clegg bought a new '73 SD455 Bird, & won the D/S class @ Indy with it, in '73.

He later switched the car over to SS. In recent years they upgraded it & J.B. Clegg has run it well down into the 9's.

They eventually got the former H-O Racing Specialties SD455 T/A. J.B. ran it as an auto car, for a few years. They eventually upgraded it & changed over to a stick. J.B. got it well down into the 9's.

They have also raced a '74 T/A Stocker. IIRC, it was built by Forrest Pierdolla. Hunter Pierdolla drove it for a few years. It has most recently been driven by Devon Dioguardi.

They even ran an SD455 powered '73 GP for a while.

John Clegg has also built & raced at least one 3rd gen Bird, that is not Pontiac powered. As far as I know they have at least 3 currently active cars. That's almost 50 years of racing Pontiacs.
