Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

[oldskool]

I know that some don't particularly like the qualifying rounds. But I'm always very interested. I know that some hold back, sandbag, or whatever you wanna call it. Then a few seem to bomb their index by more than 1.2. Then there are some races where going real quick is not supposed to hurt you.

I don't know all the qualifying strategies & tricks. But, I always like to keep up with where the Pontiacs qualify. A quick look at this list showed at least 9 Pontiacs.

Here's the 3rd round of Stock qualifying, at the 2015 US Nats.

I've probably mentioned the All-Pontiac, father/son, Stock final. Brad beat Scott for the win at the 2012 Spring Vegas race.

I'll follow that up with this one, which is about that same race.

Brad was Stock Champ in 2010, then again in 2012.

This article mentions his All-Pontiac final win, in the Northwest Nats.

Here was his 8th nat event win.

He's been winning races now for quite a few years. This final round from a div 7 race last year shows one reason why. He cut a .015 light & ran a 10.810 on a 10.81 dial. Takes a pretty good package to beat that.

Here's a little video I found, which features a restored alum front end 421SD drag car. The guy calls it a Super Stock car. But, as we've seen, these cars were actually running in the Top Stock class.

And here's a video of one of the little 421SD factory built '63 Tempests, which was found & restored.

Found some short promotional videos of Stock/SS racing from the '60's. This one shows how the cars went from the 409 Chevies & 421 Pontiacs to the Mopar Hemi & Ford 427 powered cars, and how the FX class went wild, with anything goes match racing. There are a few Pontiacs here, but they're such a small part of this video, that probably only real Pontiac guys would even notice them.
