Here's the pics he sent me. Some not real good quality. But the best I can do.

This is Phil Monteith's SS/FA "HATARI" '69 RAIV Bird, @ Indy.


Who can tell me what year this pic was taken ? :confused:

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

Scott Burton won the Div 5 SS championship this year, driving his Pontiac powered '91 Bird ! :)

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

There are only 2 Pontiac powered SS cars entered @ the Pomona Finals race. But, I'm glad to see both of those cars on the list. Art Peterson is on the list with his '69 GTO, which he has raced for a long time.

Keri Angeles is also there, with her familiar '69 Bird. But, it's listed in GT. If the pre-entry info is correct, the car now has 428 power. If so, I assume it has the Edelebrock alum heads. I assume they finally decided that the RA4 heads are just too rare & expensive to race.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

This is a salute to Phil Monteith.

His "Hatari" Pontiac powered SS cars have probably won more races & nat championships than any other Pontiac powered car.

I assume he began with his '69 RAIV Bird, which he ran in B/SA for a few years, before switching over to SS.

He later bought the former Herslow & Morlock '73 SD455 T/A nat record holder. He switched it over to a 400 powered '74 model. Sal Biondo drove it to his 1st nat event win, in '90.

Phil then fielded an '82 model Bird in GT Super Stock. Peter Biondo won his 1st SS nat championship in it.

Since then, Phil has been running a 4th gen Bird in GT, 1st with a 400, then switching over to a 428. Peter won at least 2 more nat championships, picking up lots of big wins in Phil's Pontiac powered Bird.

Phil still runs the 4th gen & has a hand in the Pickett/Agneta 4th gen & the Biondo 2nd gen Stocker Bird.

So, Phil has quite a history in Pontiac powered class racing. My hat's off to him ! Congrats Phil, for all your success in Pontiac powered drag racing ! :)
