OK, lets continue to look at early 2nd gen Birds. Since Scott had switched to the '70 RAIV combo, and we'll soon be seeing some '73 cars that ran/run strong, AND since '70-'73 Bird bodies are so similar, we'll look especially at the '70-'73 models, while also noting other quick Pontiacs, at the same races or same season.

We'll look now at the 2011 season. At the Winter Nats, Leo was # 3 @ -.973. Brad was #11 @ - .872. John was #12 @ -.864. Lindy was #26 @ -.807. Scott was #35 @ -.735.

At the Mile High Nats, Michael Brand was #2 @ -.906. Scott was #12 @ -.709.

Scott won the race !

I think by this race Brad Burton had moved to Washington State. At the Northwest Nats, he was #2 @ -.902. Bill was #3 @ -.883. Don Elgin was #23 @ -.556.

At Pomona, Randi Lyn qualified at more than a sec under. Highest of any carb equipped car. No Pontiac winners.
