Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Some videos were posted in the Stock/SS section. They feature mostly Ford, Mopar & Chevy. BUT, I'm glad I scanned 'em. There are some Pontiac Stockers, which I don't think I've seen in action.

This 1st one is from the Spring Vegas race, in 2002. The 1st pair of cars on it includes the Mulry/Aceves '74 Formula, with Bob Mulry driving. As I've mentioned, this car was a record holder in 3 different classes. It was #1 qualifier at lots of races, & ran more than 1.5 sec under, at several races.

At about the 7:35 point, there is a black '67 Bird. It was driven by Rod Keeney. IIRC, this is the same car that Randi Lyn Shipp has been driving, for several years now.



This 2nd video is from that same race. @ about the 2:55 point is Larry Maxwell driving his '72 Formy. @ about the 3:57 point is Rod Keeney's '67 Bird again. @ about 14:06 is Larry Maxwell again.



Here's the Stock Q-list from that race.

This 3rd video is from the 2003 Summit Nats. @ the 1:56 point is Rod Keeney again.

@ the 9:41 point is John Schloe driving his '69 Bird. As far as I know, it's the only '69 Bird Stocker still active, today.



Here's the DRC Q-list from that race. There were several Pontiacs on the list.

Here's one from the 2001 Summit Nats. @ the 10:34 point is Scott Burton blasting off, in his early 2nd gen Bird. He ran this car as several different year models. The last, of course, was a 1970, which became the quickest Pontiac powered Stocker, ever.



@ this race he was running it as a '73 model, in G/SA.
