Here's 3 more Pontiac wagons I found.
The caption under the last pic says that car swept Stock Elim. I assume that was at the Winter Nats. Also mentions the year 1967. The drivers name was Graham Douglas. So, do any of you guys have 1967 Winter Nats results, showing the Stock winner's name ? A couple of online sources does show that car as the Jr. Stock winner. https://www.revolvy.com/page/1967-NHRA-Winternationals https://www.wikiwand.com/en/NHRA_Winternationals NHRA Junior Stock One source for this info is the Doug Boyce book: Junior Stock, which came out in 2012. I'd love to have a copy. But I'm not paying $55 for one. https://www.amazon.com/Junior-Stock-.../dp/1934709913 Anybody here have a copy, you'd sell, real cheap, or would agree to look up race results in ?

Got a few more Tons-a-Fun pics. As many here know, Gary & Charlene Wood ran at least 2 different wagons. One had a regular Lemans front. The other had the GTO type front, which I think was called the T-41 option.
They ran both the round port & D-port 455 engines. The 7th pic shows one of 'em before the Tons-a-Fun lettering was added. The last pic shows one of 'em painted black, which I assume was after Gary sold it. Maybe if I've provided any bad info, Charlene will chime in & correct it. I loved these wagons ! |

Combing back thru some old threads here.
Found this thread, showing that Bryan Phillips won a race on Dec 1 of 2012, at Gainsville. http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=44617 Not listed as a nat event or Lucas Oil Series race. So, anybody have more details about this race, or a link to race results ? http://www.nhradiv2.com/apcm/templat...2593&zoneid=14 Last edited by oldskool; 02-14-2020 at 11:15 AM. |

Got a few more stocker pics.
(1) Another win for the E/SA '63 Cat. (2) The Swiss Cheese frame, of a resto in progress. (3) Don Himes, '77 GP. (4) Big Pontiac heads a long line of Stockers, that appear to be parked in front of the grandstands, just so fans could get a closer look. I find that very interesting. Nowadays, most fans could care less about Stockers. But it wasn't always that way. (5) Another S/SA win for Carol Cox. (6) Ken Shawver '71 E/SA Lemans. (7) Kyle Riley, "Who's Next" '77 Lemans. [8) Kyle again. Assume it's the same car with different paint. (9) Tin Tiger 2, 1967 GTO. Last edited by oldskool; 02-16-2020 at 06:31 AM. |

Here's some more pics I don't think I've posted.
(1) "MIMI" '66 GTO. (2) Dunn & Young '66 GTO. (3) Neill Pontiac '65 GTO. (4) Ray Faro '69 Judge. (5) Garber Pontiac '69 GTO. (6) Silver '69 Judge. My '69 GTO looked like this, less the Judge wing, stripes & emblems. Many non-Pontiac guys probably still think all '69 Judges were orange. When they 1st came out, that was the only color available. This was the case, when I ordered mine in early '69. I wanted a Judge. But I told the salesman I wasn't about to drive around in an orange car. ![]() (7) 2-car rig hauling the Knafel Pontiac '66 GTO's. [8) Side view of Knafel rig. (9) J/SA Wagon.

More:
(1) Mike McKinney's Blue E/S '68 Bird does a burnout. (2) Mike @ US 131. (3) Bryan Phillips @ Indy, when his '67 was still white. (4) LMP '67 Bird. Don't know if it set the nat record, or just ran a pass equal to the nat record, that someone else held. (5) I think this is an all-Pontiac round, tween the Garber Pontiac 2nd gen Bird & a '69 GTO. If I'm wrong about the GTO, someone correct me. (6) Burgundy D/S Truman Fields '68 Bird. He ran 'em with several different paint jobs, and in several different classes. (7) Green BPS. I assume this was run in B-Pure Stock. [8) Here it is in C/S, with a multi-colored paint job. I just ASSUME all these are the same car. I suppose only he, & a few others, such as Todd Hoven, actually know, for sure. (9) The last pic is from a few years earlier. Just assume this was the original HT, before it was sold to Roy & Mike McKinney. Last edited by oldskool; 02-16-2020 at 04:25 PM. |
