Been quite few 350 Pontiac powered X-bodies in Stock. Al Vanis is pictured running against the '74 GTO belonging to Rock Running.

Also ran across one that was a nat record holder for several years, with Duttweiler Automotive on the side. Bill Rink ran his in Stock for several years. He also won the J/SA class at Indy, in 2005, for sure. On this '05 Class win list, I also noticed that Pontiac powered cars won N/SA, O/SA, & P/SA. Don Himes '77 GP won P/SA, which was at least it's 2nd US Nats class win. You can find lots of familiar Pontiac names by checking out the Indy class winners, thru the years. Three I noticed were Scott Burton, Bob Mulry, & Mike Morgan.

The quickest '74 GTO I know of, running this year, was driven by Brad Koivisto. I think he got it down into the low 11's.
