Well ya'll, I'll have to tell on myself now. I don't know if I can blame old age, or just lack of computer skills.

But, I was almost thru with 2010 race results, when I had to take a break. So, I THOUGHT I hit minimize. But, when I came back, to continue, that tab was gone. I suppose I accidentally hit the X, instead of the minimize. Anybody else ever do that ?

Anyhow, because of this, from now on, I'll post a very small amount, then edit and add a little more, and so on, til the post is complete. So, when ya'll see a very short post, with only a very few results, just know that the post is not complete, and I'll be adding more to it.

2010

At the Winter Nats, looks like Art Peterson had the only Pontiac powered car on the SS list. It's the only '69 GTO I know of that has been in either Stock or SS competition, this century. If ya'll know of others, please post that info. Back in the day, there were lots of '69 GTO's in competition, especially Judge models, sponsored by Pontiac dealers.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

Looks like Joel Larkin had the only Pontiac on the SS list at the AZ Nats. I can remember lots of races we entered where we had the only Pontiacs. That was just part of it, for us. Just made winning a little better.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

At the Cajun Sports Nats, J.B. Clegg showed up with a stick Bird. I suppose that was the 1st year that '74 had run a stick.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

At the 4-Wide Nats, Peter was #2 @ - 1.022. Due to info just posted, I assume the engine was an iron head 428. Sal P. was #46 @ -.699.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

Sal made it to round 4, where he left a tick too quick.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

Peter made it to round 5, where he got treed.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

At the Spring Vegas race, Don Kennedy was #22 @ -.781. Joel & Ryan were on the lower half of the list. John Angeles was also on the list, driving a '69 Bird. For those who may not know, John co-wrote a couple of books on Pontiac performance & racing. His '69 RAIV Bird was said to be the 1st reg SS Pontiac 400 powered car to dip below 10-flat. His daughter, Keri, was driving on that occasion.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

Ryan made it to the semi, but cut a bad light.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

At the Midwest Nats, Greg Meyer was #7 @ -.899. Lynn McCarty was #55.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop

At Fontana, Keri was #20 @ -.571. Ryan & Joel were on the list.

Peter made it to the semi, where he cut a better light but went a tick too quick.

Question:

Below are some pics we took at the Cajun Nats, back around 1978. There was a white SS/K T/A there, wearing "For Sale" signs.

So, does anybody know who owned this car, who bought it, and any of the rest of it's history ?

41 is a div 4 number. Anybody know if John Clegg had anything to do with this car ? OR ???

So, unless I missed somebody, there were 8 reg SS Pontiacs entered in Nat events that season. They were driven by Keri Angeles Pari, Art Peterson, Sal Piacentini, Carroll Warling, Ryan Schloe, Joel Larkin, Bill Rink, & J.B. Clegg.

There were 7 Pontiac powered GT cars that were driven by: Johnny Duncan, Peter Biondo, Don Kennedy, Greg Meyer, Stacy McCarty, Casey McCarty, & Robert Cruzen.

I may have missed a car or 2. I know that in years just prior to this, John Angeles & Monte Howard were on some nat event Q-lists, as was Vic Santos. I'll look back over recent years, & get names of some I left our here, then edit & include them.

I realize there may be some Pontiac powered SS racers that didn't get any or very much mention, because I had only nat event results. But, beginning for the 2012 season, DRC has results of div races also. And again, if ya'll know of Pontiac SS cars that did good at races I don't mention, please post that info.

2012

At Pomona, Ryan Schole was #26 @ -.718. Peter was #38 @ -.621. Art was #48 @ -.514. Joel was #52. Keri was #55.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

Peter broke, in round 6, & had to settle for a 3rd place finish.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

At the AZ Nats, Peter was #17 @ -.764.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

Peter got treed in the semi & had to settle for another 3rd place finish.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

OK, since we'll now have results from the Lucas Oil Series div races, I'll try to list them with there div number, followed by a dash, followed by the season sequence number. So, this race will be called the LOS 7-1 race, since it is in div 7 & is the 1st LOS race of the season. In case of rainouts, sometimes the sequence numbers may not be in the correct order. This shorter race ID will require less time & space.

So @ LOS 7-1, Don K. was #3 @ -.925. Ryan was #28 @ -.605.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 7-2, Don K. was #2 @ -.949. Ryan was #32 @ -.608. Robert was #43, & Art was #45.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 4-1, J.B. was #22 @ -.682.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

At the Cajun Sports Nats, J.B. was #61 @ -.636.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 7-3, Robert was #2 @ - 1.001. Don K. was #6 @ -.905. Leo Glasbrenner was #14 @ -.826. Don't know if Leo had Pontiac power at that time, or not. Who knows ? Ryan was #34 @ -.600. Art was #61.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

Don K. won that race !

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

At the Spring Vegas race, Don K. was #3 @ -.947. Ryan was #29 @ -.697. Art was #54.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

At the 4-wide Nats, Peter was #63. It seems that for some races, Peter uses the strategy of his rival, Dan Fletcher, by purposely qualifying low. I know this is a Pontiac thread, But since I've been lookin up race results, Dan Fletcher is the name that has popped up, most often, in the later rounds of races. I assume he has an awesome list of racing accomplishments. I'm sure that everybody who has kept up with Stock/SS racing knows about Dan. But, I'm just getting a look at some of what he did. So, at some point, I'll probably do some research & get all the info on his racing career. But, that's for another time, & perhaps another thread. This thread is for Pontiac powered SS cars.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

Gonna start skipping a lot of races, unless there is a Pontiac that qualifies well, or one that makes it to at least the semi. @ LOS 3-1, Bill Rink was #6 @ -.980. Stacy was #12 @ -.955. Monte was #42 @ -.800. Greg was #44 @ -.793.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 5-1, Robert was #5 @ -.782. Bill was #12 @ -.668. Carroll was #14 @ -.651.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

Robert was beaten by his son, in the semi.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 3-2, Greg was #39 @ -.724. Johnny Duncan was #66.

But the reason I'm including this Q-list is because of the next 2 cars. The 1st is a 1970 GTO, driven by Bill Eadelis. How long has it been since ya'll saw a '70 GTO SS car, before this one ?

The other car is what I think is an SD455 powered '73 auto trans SS Bird, driven by Russ Abrams. I know that Bob Michael & Don K. ran one. Who has run one, in this century ? Maybe there is one, or some, that I don't know about. Those SD455 parts are so rare & expensive now, it's not likely that anybody else will try to build a SD455 powered SS car, in the future. Don't know if any of the GT guys will run one in the future, or not. I suppose that for many guys with enuff money to do this, a rare expensive set of head cores is not a problem. So, maybe we WILL continue to see a few SD455 headed engines on the track.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 1-2, Vic Santos was#12 @ -.851. Don K. was #14 @ -.822. Sal P. was #61.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

Well, that gets us thru May of 2012. Again, if any of ya'll know of Pontiac wins at other races during the season, please post that info.

At the Big O Tires Nats, Don K. was #8 @ -.958. Robert was #10 @ -.937. Other Pontiacs on the list were Ryan Schloe #54, J.B. #60, Keri #66, & Art #76. Leo Glasbrenner was on the list. But, his car was listed as having a 350 engine. Since he's raced Pontiac powered cars, I'd assumed that his 4th gen Bird GT car had Pontiac power. But, now I'm more inclined to believe that the 350 mentioned was probably a Chevy 350, that was in the car when he bought it. But, that is mere speculation on my part. If anybody here knows for sure what brand of 350 was in his GT car, at this race, please post that info.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop

@ LOS 7-6, Don K. was #5 @ -.974. Robert was #8 @ -.928. Ryan was #47, Keri #48, & J.B. #50.

That's about it thru May. That year there were very few Pontiac SS cars running in the East. And none in the Northwest. Can't think of any in div 2 or 6 that year. I think J.B. had the only one in div 4. Carroll may have had the only one in div 5. Hey, I could be wrong, again.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop

Greg had to settle for 3rd place at this race, because his semifinal opponent cut a perfect .000 light. And check this out. That guy had cut a .001 light the previous round, then cut a .005 light, to win the final. Now that was an impressive 3-round string of lights !

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop

@ LOS 5-5, Robert Cruzen was #4 @ -.791.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop

Robert was RU at this race. He was beat by the awesome Dan Fletcher. Check out some of Dan's lights, .005, .010, .012, .017, .020 ! He keeps showin up at all the big races, plus many of the div races, from coast to coast. He either had lots of frequent flyer miles, or flew on private jets. Don't think a guy could make that many races, traveling by land. He'd stay wore out all the time. And he ran Stock & SS. So, I assume that others got the cars to the tracks, & he just flew in, to do the driving. If he traveled by land to all those races, he's almost super-human, IMO. Maybe some here can give us more insight.

In 2013, while Robert & Don K. were running strong on the West coast, Vic Santos was running strong on the East coast. And, I just noticed a pic of the car from 2002. It has Santos & Ribeiro on the side, & Dean Ribeiro on the window. I suppose that means that Dean drove the car for a while. I've seen his name on several of the DRC lists. I knew Dave raced Pontiacs. Just never made the connection between Dean & Vic. So, after I get caught up thru 2019, I'll go back & see if I can find some results for the car, when Dean was driving.

That gets us thru June. There were several races where Pontiacs were in the middle or toward the bottom of the Q-list, which I didn't include, because the Pontiacs didn't make it to the later rounds.

I don't know if I can blame old age, or just lack of computer skills. But, I was almost thru with 2010 race results, when I had to take a break. So, I THOUGHT I hit minimize. But, when I came back, to continue, that tab was gone. I suppose I accidentally hit the X, instead of the minimize. Anybody else ever do that ? Anyhow, because of this, from now on, I'll post a very small amount, then edit and add a little more, and so on, til the post is complete. So, when ya'll see a very short post, with only a very few results, just know that the post is not complete, and I'll be adding more to it. 2010 At the Winter Nats, looks like Art Peterson had the only Pontiac powered car on the SS list. It's the only '69 GTO I know of that has been in either Stock or SS competition, this century. If ya'll know of others, please post that info. Back in the day, there were lots of '69 GTO's in competition, especially Judge models, sponsored by Pontiac dealers. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop Looks like Joel Larkin had the only Pontiac on the SS list at the AZ Nats. I can remember lots of races we entered where we had the only Pontiacs. That was just part of it, for us. Just made winning a little better. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop At the Cajun Sports Nats, J.B. Clegg showed up with a stick Bird. I suppose that was the 1st year that '74 had run a stick. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop At the 4-Wide Nats, Peter was #2 @ - 1.022. Due to info just posted, I assume the engine was an iron head 428. Sal P. was #46 @ -.699. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop Sal made it to round 4, where he left a tick too quick. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop Peter made it to round 5, where he got treed. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop At the Spring Vegas race, Don Kennedy was #22 @ -.781. Joel & Ryan were on the lower half of the list. John Angeles was also on the list, driving a '69 Bird. For those who may not know, John co-wrote a couple of books on Pontiac performance & racing. His '69 RAIV Bird was said to be the 1st reg SS Pontiac 400 powered car to dip below 10-flat. His daughter, Keri, was driving on that occasion. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop Ryan made it to the semi, but cut a bad light. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2010#indextop At the Midwest Nats, Greg Meyer was #7 @ -.899.

There were 7 Pontiac powered GT cars that were driven by: Johnny Duncan, Peter Biondo, Don Kennedy, Greg Meyer, Stacy McCarty, Casey McCarty, & Robert Cruzen. I may have missed a car or 2. I know that in years just prior to this, John Angeles & Monte Howard were on some nat event Q-lists, as was Vic Santos. I'll look back over recent years, & get names of some I left our here, then edit & include them. I realize there may be some Pontiac powered SS racers that didn't get any or very much mention, because I had only nat event results. But, beginning for the 2012 season, DRC has results of div races also. And again, if ya'll know of Pontiac SS cars that did good at races I don't mention, please post that info.

So, this race will be called the LOS 7-1 race, since it is in div 7 & is the 1st LOS race of the season. In case of rainouts, sometimes the sequence numbers may not be in the correct order. This shorter race ID will require less time & space. So @ LOS 7-1, Don K. was #3 @ -.925. Ryan was #28 @ -.605. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop @ LOS 7-2, Don K. was #2 @ -.949.

Ryan was #29 @ -.697. Art was #54. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop At the 4-wide Nats, Peter was #63. It seems that for some races, Peter uses the strategy of his rival, Dan Fletcher, by purposely qualifying low. I know this is a Pontiac thread, But since I've been lookin up race results, Dan Fletcher is the name that has popped up, most often, in the later rounds of races. I assume he has an awesome list of racing accomplishments. I'm sure that everybody who has kept up with Stock/SS racing knows about Dan. But, I'm just getting a look at some of what he did. So, at some point, I'll probably do some research & get all the info on his racing career. But, that's for another time, & perhaps another thread. This thread is for Pontiac powered SS cars. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Gonna start skipping a lot of races, unless there is a Pontiac that qualifies well, or one that makes it to at least the semi. @ LOS 3-1, Bill Rink was #6 @ -.980. Stacy was #12 @ -.955. Monte was #42 @ -.800. Greg was #44 @ -.793. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop @ LOS 5-1, Robert was #5 @ -.782. Bill was #12 @ -.668. Carroll was #14 @ -.651. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Robert was beaten by his son, in the semi. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop @ LOS 3-2, Greg was #39 @ -.724. Johnny Duncan was #66. But the reason I'm including this Q-list is because of the next 2 cars. The 1st is a 1970 GTO, driven by Bill Eadelis. How long has it been since ya'll saw a '70 GTO SS car, before this one ? The other car is what I think is an SD455 powered '73 auto trans SS Bird, driven by Russ Abrams. I know that Bob Michael & Don K. ran one. Who has run one, in this century ? Maybe there is one, or some, that I don't know about. Those SD455 parts are so rare & expensive now, it's not likely that anybody else will try to build a SD455 powered SS car, in the future. Don't know if any of the GT guys will run one in the future, or not. I suppose that for many guys with enuff money to do this, a rare expensive set of head cores is not a problem. So, maybe we WILL continue to see a few SD455 headed engines on the track. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop @ LOS 1-2, Vic Santos was#12 @ -.851. Don K. was #14 @ -.822. Sal P. was #61. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Well, that gets us thru May of 2012. Again, if any of ya'll know of Pontiac wins at other races during the season, please post that info. Attached Thumbnails Last edited by oldskool; 01-17-2020 at 08:02 PM.

Carroll may have had the only one in div 5. Hey, I could be wrong, again. Attached Thumbnails Last edited by oldskool; 01-18-2020 at 06:33 AM.

Robert Cruzen was #4 @ -.669. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Leo got RU. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 1-3, Vic Santos was #6 @ -.892, in a '78 Bird, running GT/IA. I was only familiar with his 3rd gen Bird GT car. So, who knows what other Pontiacs Vic has raced ? https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Vic went a tick too quick, in the semi. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 5-3, Carroll was #1 @ -.978. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the New England Nats, Vic Santos was #3 @ - 1.024. Peter was #26 @ -.646. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 3-4, Bill Rink was #10 @ -.860. Greg Meyer was #15 @ -.776. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the Mile-High Nats, Carroll was #3 @ -.926, in GT/MA. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 1-4, Vic Santos was #3 @ -.842. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the Lucas Oil Nats, Greg Meyer was #11 @ -.753. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Greg had to settle for 3rd place at this race, because his semifinal opponent cut a perfect .000 light. And check this out. That guy had cut a .001 light the previous round, then cut a .005 light, to win the final. Now that was an impressive 3-round string of lights ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 5-5, Robert Cruzen was #4 @ -.791. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Robert was RU at this race. He was beat by the awesome Dan Fletcher. Check out some of Dan's lights, .005, .010, .012, .017, .020 ! He keeps showin up at all the big races, plus many of the div races, from coast to coast. He either had lots of frequent flyer miles, or flew on private jets. Don't think a guy could make that many races, traveling by land. He'd stay wore out all the time. And he ran Stock & SS. So, I assume that others got the cars to the tracks, & he just flew in, to do the driving. If he traveled by land to all those races, he's almost super-human, IMO. Maybe some here can give us more insight. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 5-6, Greg Meyer was #12 @ -.784. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 1-7, Vic Santos was #9 @ -.956. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the Northern Sports Nats, Bill Rink was #23 @ -.891, in a 99 car field. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 7-6, Carroll was #1 @ - 1.033. Leo was #7 @ -.796. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 4-6, Robert Cruzen was #8 @ -.681. Leo was #11 @ -.625. Must have been some really bad air and/or track conditions that day. Some of the reg SS guys couldn't even run their index. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Robert got a 3rd place finish. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the Pacific Sports Nats, Don K. was #5 @ -.976. Robert was #6 @ -.949. Leo was #17 @ -.840. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the Toyota Nats, Don K. was #6 @ -.972. Robert was #8 @ -.959. Leo was #22 @ -.862. Carroll was #26 @ -.834. Peter was #27 @ -.830. John Angeles was #67. Art was #88. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop John made it to round 3, Carroll to E-4 & Peter to E-5. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop @ LOS 7-7, Don K. was #3 @ -.977. Robert was #7 @ -.939. Leo was #50. Keri was #54. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Robert made it to round 5. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop At the Pomona Finals. Robert was #6 @ -.904. Leo was #15 @ -.852. Peter was #39. Keri was #43. Art was #55. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop In 2013, while Robert & Don K. were running strong on the West coast, Vic Santos was running strong on the East coast. And, I just noticed a pic of the car from 2002. It has Santos & Ribeiro on the side, & Dean Ribeiro on the window. I suppose that means that Dean drove the car for a while. I've seen his name on several of the DRC lists. I knew Dave raced Pontiacs. Just never made the connection between Dean & Vic. So, after I get caught up thru 2019, I'll go back & see if I can find some results for the car, when Dean was driving. Attached Thumbnails Last edited by oldskool; 01-18-2020 at 08:47 PM.

There were several races where Pontiacs were in the middle or toward the bottom of the Q-list, which I didn't include, because the Pontiacs didn't make it to the later rounds.
