Again, I'm not sure which '77-'78 Bird to look at next. From looking at so many Q-lists, I've seen quite a few of 'em. Some of the names are not familiar to me, at all, especially some who live in Canada.

One that shows up on lots of lists is the car I call the "Biondo Bird". It has been driven by several members of the Biondo clan. Usually not at the top of the Q-list, but quick enuff to be competitive.

6/9/01 - div 1-2 - #67 .474 under.

And, since this is a Pontiac thread, I'll mention that this is the race that Al Vanis won, nearly 30 years after winning the US Nats, in a '74 Ventura.

6/8/03 - div 3-2 - #43 - .909 under. Don't remember how much info I've posted about the Don Himes GP. Anyhow, this Q-list shows that he ran 1.078 under, with the big GP.
