Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
OK, we'll now look at the 2012 season. And, since DRC has div race results from 2012-up, we'll also look at some of those.
Remember, we are now looking mostly at the '70-'73 Firebirds, but also mentioning other good Pontiac Stocker info we find during the search for those year models. As usual, the Winter Nats was the 1st big race of the year, in 2012. At That race, Leo was #2 @ - 1.017. Brad was #5 @ -.943. Scott was #9 @ -.917. Larry was #12 @ -.909. John was #18 @ -.880. Lindy was #45 @ -.725. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Brad won it !  https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop At the AZ Nats, Rick was #1 @ - 1.009, with his 301T Bird. Leo was #3 @ -.948. Brad was #4 @ -.946. Scott was #7 @ -.915. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Leo won this race ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop At the div 7-1 race, Scott was #4 @ -.907. Michael was #10 @ -.865. Leo was #12 @ -.851. Larry Was #15 @ -.814. Rick was #23 @ -.787. John was #29 @ -.750. Glenn Person was #30 @ -.717. Lindy was #53, & Brad was on the bottom, with a scorching 28.000. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Leo won this one, too ! Michael was semi. Scott was QF. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop This was div 7 doubleheader. For the 2nd race, the order was Scott, Michael, Brad, Larry, John, Glen & Lindy. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop And, it was an All-Pontiac final. I LOVE those. It was Scott, over Michael. Hey, Pontiac got off to a great start in 2012. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop At the div 7 Vegas race, Leo Was #1 @ -.987. Scott was #4 @ -.936. Michael was #5 @ -.922. Larry was #11 @ -.878. John was #25 @ -.793. Glenn Person was #32 @ -.749. Lindy was #60. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop At the 1st Vegas Nat of the year, Pontiacs were #1, #2, & #4 Qualifiers. Since there will be so many races to cover, with the inclusion of the div races, I no longer try to list the times of each Pontiac. But I'll try to list the highest Pontiac qualifiers. Anyone interested in the lower qualified Pontiacs can simply click on the link & look down the list. At this race, Leo was .973 under, & Michael & Scott were close behind. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Scott & Michael picked up their class wins. Leo & Larry Peterson got class RU. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Hey Hey, it was an all Burton, Stock final !!!  Michael made the quarterfinal. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop 5 Pontiacs in this div 6 race. Bill Edgeworth had the top Pontiac. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop But Brad won the race ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Michael & Scott were #4 & #5 at this div 5 race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Scott got RU ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Bill was #2 at this div 6 race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Brad won the race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Scott was #2 qualifier at the Mile High Nats. But Michael won the race ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Well, that gets us thru July. Since the season is aprox 10 months long, I assume that's more than half way. So, I'll stop this & do the rest of the season in the next post. Hey, the Pontiacs had a great 1st half, in 2012 !

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
OK, we'll continue with the last part of the 2012 season.
Leo got RU at this div 7 race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Michael got RU at this div 5 race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Scott, Leo, Brad & Michael got their class win, at the fall Vegas nat. Randi Lyn was RU to Leo. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2012#indextop Brad Burton locked up another Stock Elim National Championship, in 2012, as well as the div 6 Stock title !!! https://www.facebook.com/pg/burtondragracing/about/ Wow. I messed up. I should have separated the season results at the end of May, I suppose. Well, too much trouble to change it now. May try that for 2013.

Brad got the E/SA class win. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Ryan Warter got RU at this div 6 race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2013#indextop Said I was gonna break the season after the May races.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

But a pic doesn't tell anybody how well the car ran against it's index, or when it got a class, div, or Nat event win. I've already quit listing every car on a Q-list. But, if Pontiac powered cars place high on a Q-list, I think that's note worthy, especially if the car is a sec or more under. Those big qualifying numbers are quite common for other makes, especially the late model FI computer equipped models. But, I think it's pretty cool to see these old Q-jet equipped Pontiacs run quick. Many of 'em are quicker than Pontiac SS cars were when I started racing. So, I'll try to increase the pics & decrease the race results. Thanks !

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
2014
Gotta mention the Q-list from Pomona. 3 of the top 10 are Pontiacs. Leo was #1 @ - 1.094. John Schloe was #4 @ - 1.010. Lindy Lindholm had his '74 Formula, which was recently stolen. He was #9 @ -.950. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop At the Carquest Nats, 4 of the top 8 were Pontiacs. I think that's a big deal when half of the top 8 qualifiers are Pontiac powered ! https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop Leo made it to semi, Michael to qtr. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop At the 1st div 7 race, 4 of the top 10 were Pontiacs. Mark was #5. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop Michael got RU. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop At the Gators, Randi Lyn laid down an awesome qualifying pass, of 10.374, which 1.176 under, to become the quickest non-FS car on the list. Was also well ahead of any other carb equipped car. Won her class with no problem. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop At the Spring Vegas nat, John was #2 & Lindy was #4. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop Brad got RU at this Idaho div 6 race. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop He won this div 6 race at Spokane. https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2014#indextop That gets us thru May. |
