1967 NHRA Records

[oldskool]

Browsing back thru some of these old threads & noticed that nobody mentioned anything about the fact that Pontiacs held records in A/SA, C/S, C/SA, D/SA, & I/SA.

Well, since I'm a Pontiac Freek, I noticed & am pointing it out.

As mentioned, there were probably some quicker or faster cars, in most classes, which were purposely run slower, to avoid lowering their nat record.

Some pics were made before '67, when the cars ran a lower class. For example: The pic of the Wolf & McClelland car shows that it was running C/SA, not A/SA. But, I assume that the 405hp 421SD engine is the only Pontiac engine that would make enuff power to run in A/SA, in the big car, in 1967.

The '58 model Lowe & Easley car was running a lower class, when the pic was taken. I think several engines were available. I believe the top option included fuel injection. So, the '58 Pontiacs probably ran lots of different classes, back in those days.
