Anybody know of any Pontiac Stock nat event wins during the '80's & '90's up thru 1997 ?

After the Mike McKinney US Nats win in '77, the next Pontiac Stock win I know about was the Al Vanis win in 2003, which I mentioned.

Surely there must have been others, in that 20+ year period.

Any online source for nat event Stock & SS winners for that time period ?

In looking for results of national events, I happened across this short video of the 1965 Winter Nats. Thought some of you might be interested in it.

At aprox the 1:45 point of the video there is a good close-up of the Gay Pontiac '64 GTO. And, at aprox the 8:37 point, Arnie Beswick's A/MP '63 Tempest, drives past the camera.

The video is near the bottom of the page, at this link.

And, speakin of Arnie's '63 Tempest, here's an AHRA video I happened across. I assume the round shown at aprox the 15:40 point, was the semifinal. And, at aprox the 16:18 point, I assume that was the final round, showing that Arnie won the Sportsman Eliminator class at that race.

Here's a pic of that Gay Pontiac '64 GTO, along with the other 2 cars they were racing, at the time, and their hauler.

Not posting these in any particular order, but just as I run across 'em.

In this one, Randi Lyn Shipp got RU.

https://www.nhra.com/videos/2018/201...inner-ben-line

This was a qualifying session at a div 7 race in AZ. There were 6 Pontiacs entered. Three 1st gen & three 2nd gen Birds.

5 are shown in this round, including the quickest Pontiac Stocker ever, the Scott Burton B/SA '70 RAIV Formula.

How about an all Pontiac nat event final ? Bryan Warter picked up his 1st Wally. Randi Lyn was RU.
