Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Pretty sure I've already mentioned this 1st one. Jim Wangers won Stock at the 1960 Nationals.

Next win I see is in '66. Arlen Vanke won the Spring Nats, & Bill Abraham was RU. I assume it was an all-Pontiac final, between 2 of the Bill Knafel Tin Indian GTO'S. If this is not correct, somebody please post the correct info.

Bill Abraham was also RU @ the World Finals that year, in another all-Pontiac final, against Jay Hamilton's '58 Pontiac. Abraham was driving the '65 Tin Indian GTO.

Hey ya'll, that ain't bad. There were 4 nat events that year, & there was an all-Pontiac Stock final, at half of 'em !

Jay Hamilton also won the Spring Nats, in '67.
