So, GT cars became legal somewhere in the early to mid '80's ?

Also noticed that you won your the GT/EA class at Indy this year, with a 9.177. And, Todd Frantz won the GT/FA class with a 9.188, in his 428 powered Cobalt.

Also, it was an all Pontiac 350 powered final, in SS/MA. Bill Rink won & Mike Morgan was RU, for the 2nd year straight. Bill Rink's little GTO has won class at Indy a BUNCH of times.

Robert Cruzen has also won the GT/AA class at Indy, more than once, with his 428 Cobalt. One winning time was an 8.90 ! That same year, Mike Morgan won SS/MA with his 350 powered '77 Formula.

Amen to that, keep seeing Morgan show up at Indy loaded for bear (can't help but wonder if a little smaller tire would speed it up) and yet Rink keeps winning class. Bill's car is amazing, super clean too of course; as is all of his stuff.

How about the big yellow wagon of Div. 5's Jerry Stealy, may have been under Stealy and Hamilton, one of my favorites to watch

I download 'em from Facebook, or wherever I find 'em, to my laptop. They are stored there 'til I need 'em. When I wanna post 'em here, I click on manage attachments, from that box I can choose a pic from my laptop files & upload to the post.

But, on this site, if you have ever posted the same pic, since you've been a member here, it will not let you post it again. There may be some way around that. If so, I don't know about it. Also, if the pics are too big, you can't upload 'em. I've had some that were real close. For those, I just cropped a little off, then they uploaded just fine. For real big pics, I suppose you'd need to use some sort of program to resize 'em.

But, there have been some BIG pics posted here. So, there are obviously guys here who know a LOT more about the pic rules & procedures here, than me.

How about my Brother Carroll Warling 1974 LeMans 2005 to 2016 NHRA National Recorg holder in SS/MA Now running a 428 steel head in it. Has a 1974 GTO running the 400 in it.

Thanks for that info !

Didn't know about the 428. I thought everybody was running the alum heads on the 428. Do you know of anybody else running iron heads on a 428 ?

Ever know of anybody running a 428 in stock ? Or is the hp factor just too high ?

Roy and Mike McKinney had 2 good running super stockers a 68 firebird with a 16 head 400 and a forth gen firebird with the same combo. The 68 had the coolest pic floating around for the longest time of it straight up and bending the lic, plate.

About the only info I've found on the McKinney's is from this article about Truman Fields. I know that Mike later won the US Nats, in Truman's old Stocker.

Didn't know anything about their SS Pontiacs. Anybody have any more info or pics about those cars ?

Found this satement "...Roy McKinney was the VERY first NHRA Super Stocker running in a GT class of Super Stock with a 400 cubic inch engine to run in the nines back in 1997. Roy deserves that mention. He's one very smart NHRA racer. You may remember his 1968 Firebird in the CompCams ad almost straight up at Indy..."

I DO know that Truman ran a '72 GTO in SS/K, for a while. The 2nd pic below says that he set a top speed record. Don't know if that was a track record or an NHRA record, or what. ?
