Looks like Jack had a '74 GTO, that won a lot of races & was a "15 time record holder". This was long before the big hp increase Bill Rink mentioned.

Actually, as can be seen by the pics, the car was really a base model Ventura. Appears as tho Jack added the GTO Trim items, later.
Jack said he was #1 qualifier, with his '74 GTO, at the Winter Nats one year. Anybody know what year that was ? Anybody have any online results showing that ? Looks like Chief Auto Parts sponsored the Winter Nats for about 10 years, '85 thru 94. So, it had to be one of those years.

Jack also had a big Pontiac.

I'll just throw in a '58 Pontiac winner, that I saw in that same thread.
