Question Looking for 1970's statistics

Hey there. Hope this is the proper forum to put this in. The NHRA referred me to this site to see if I could get some help here. I am desperately trying to get my boyfriend the statistics from ALL races in the 1970's. He actually has notebooks from 1980 until today for EVERY race and the points totals after those races. He has been a fan since he was a kid in the 70's and he can't find this info. He can of course find the winners of divisions, but not ALL races. Can anyone help direct me to somewhere that would have this?

I would LOVE to give him this for a Christmas present! Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

All race's covers A LOT of information! Could you be more specific? National Events or local? NHRA, IHRA, AHRA or another sanctioning body?
I've got a few Drag Racing Almanac's from the late 1960's, with a lot of information about who won what race, if that will help!

Hey Lew, thanks for the response. It is the NHRA and primarily the 70's but any info you could share would be great as to where to find this.

I LOVE this thread !

It's where I found the link to all the NHRA nat event winners.

I love to go thru it & ID all the Pontiac powered winners I can. Since the thread is 10 years old, I assume the OP won't mind if I hijack it.

One I especially like is an all Pontiac(I think) final. I'm not absolutely sure. Arlen Vanke was the winner, & Bill Abraham was RU. I know that both guys drove other brands. But I THINK that for that race, Arlen was driving a Knafel Pontiac '66 GTO, & Bill was driving a Knafel '65 GTO. But, they had two '66 models. So, both cars could have been '66 models.

Does anybody know what car each guy was driving, in the '66 Spring Nats ?

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1966

Also notice the Jr. Stock finalists at the World Finals race. I know Jay Hamilton raced at least 2 different '58 Pontiacs. Assume he drove one in this race. Bill Abraham was RU in that race, also. So, it MAY have been another All-Pontiac final. So, anybody know how to find out what car all these guys were driving in those 2 Stock finals ?

Hey, there were only 4 nat events that year. So, if both those were All-Pontiac finals, that means that half the nat events in '66 had All-Pontiac Jr. Stock finals, How cool is that, for a Pontiac Freek, like me !

Another All-Pontiac Stock final was in 1977, @ Indy. Mike McKinney won it, in the original Truman Fields '68 Bird that had also won in '73.

Mick Leiferman was RU, for the 3rd year in a row.

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1977

There were also 3 Pontiac powered SS winners that year ! John Herslow won the Grand Nats. Bob Michael won the Spring Nats. Sonny Ray won the Sports Nats.

John Herslow would have been driving the Herslow & Morlock SD455 '73 T/A record holder. Sonny Ray would have been driving his '72 GTO record holder. Bob Michael has had so many Pontiacs, I don't know what he was driving. I assume it was his '73 SD455 T/A, before he sold it to Don Kennedy.

There were back-to-back Pontiac Indy Stock winners, in '73 & '74. Truman Fields in '73 & Al Vanis in '74

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1973

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1974

In '75, Mick Leiferman scored his 1st of 3 in-a-row RU's @ Indy, in his '71 GTO. These results show that Jack Mullins won 3 nats & was RU at another. I knew about the Indy & Sports Nats wins, not the other. Can't verify all these results.

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1975

Pontiacs got on the board again in '76. Jack Mullins got a win & 2 RU's, in his big wagon. Charlene Wood went across the border to win the Grandnationals, in the Tons-a-Fun '72 Lemans wagon. Mick Leiferman got 2 RU's, and Rock Running got 1 RU, in his '71 T-37.

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1976

Only '78 score I can see is another RU for Rock Running, @ the World Finals.

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1978

Sonny Ray won the Cajun Nats in '79, in his SS '72 GTO.

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1979
