Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

Here's a nat record list at the end of the 1970 season. Rod Kister had the top speed record for H/S, in a '70 Pontiac. Borcherdt & Stealy had the ET record for E/SA, in a '69 Pontiac. So, does anybody know which bodies these cars were, or any other info about either car ?

OK, found info on the '69. It's "Rocky's Goat", that has been mentioned here. Apparently Fred Borcherdt was the main man involved in the car's performance.

This post says the '70 Rod Kister car was the "Big Iron II" car.

Says that Rod was div 5 champ, and that the car was the 1st in it's class to run under 12.00. I can't verify that. But that list I posted a link to, show his name as setting the record in H/S. Don't think any RA3 or RA4 engine car ever ran that low of a class. So, maybe it was a different car.

Here's some pics of it in restored condition. Don't know how close that was to how it looked, as raced, back in 1970. That was the only year Rod raced it. Only pics i remember finding of a "Big Iron" GTO, was of a '69.

Here's an '07 magazine article about the early SD program. I couldn't make the pages big enuff to read. But some here probably know how to do that.

Here's a story about the Arnie Beswick prepared "Jolly Green Giant" '65 GTO.

Not sure why the name. Only green I see us the lettering. Maybe he just liked the ad.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

We've all probably noticed how lots of Pontiac drag cars, from the old days, had names associated in some way with Native Americans. Here are a few of those cars.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

Then there were lots of Pontiac car names which had nothing to do with Native Americans. Below are just a few of those.

Then there are all the others we've seen here, such as Black Gold, Big Iron, Kathy's Clown, Super Sleeper, Git-Go, Hard Times, Tons-a-Fun, and so many more.

Then some guys just like their name on the door.

I suppose some dealers insisted that their dealer name be on the doors.

Found this list of '63 Nats class winners. Several Pontiacs on the list, including Don Gay in A/S & Bill Abraham in A/SA. Pontiacs also picked up D/SA, F/SA, & C/S.

If you click enuff, you can make the list big enuff to read. You have to click the arrow in the top RH corner, then click on the list.

Pontiacs picked up the A/SA & E/SA classes at the '67 Spring Nats. The E/SA car also won Stock Elim at that race. :)
