Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
Just listened to the podcast interview of Rock & Ginny Running.
It was great ! I give it a 10.
Rock mentioned several Pontiacs he had. For those who don't know, his 1st really competitive dedicated Stocker, was a '74 GTO. He only ran it in '74, then sold it to Dave Pruden.
He then bought a '71 T-37, which he raced from '75 - '82. Won his 1st nat event, in the T-37, at the Spring Nats in Columbus, in '81. Sold it to Ken Shawver. Then Danny Ashley had it. Has changed hands several times. I think Don Turk has it now. All Rock's cars were named "Super Sleeper". Said one of his kids came up with the name, back when he had a big, heavy, slow, Pontiac, which I think was a '66 Cat.
Ginny said she never missed a race, & always kept records of what Rock did each pass, as well as what his competition did. Rock credits Ginny & her detailed records with much of his racing success.
