Default Re: Ramon Lowe 58 Pontiac

In 1968,

Ramon Lowe was running in G/SA (11.00 to 11.49 Wt/Hp) with the 1958 Pontiac Chieftain.

370/338 HP 'Fuel Injection'

The Pontiac's 'Shipping Weight' was a minimum of #3718 lbs.

Later, in 1969 - the NHRA deemed the 370/338 HP 'Fuel Injection' combination illegal for use on this 1958 Model Pontiac.

Photo from March 1968, at the Hot Rod Magazine Championships, at Riverside International Raceway (California).





In 1969, Ramon Lowe was now running in 'I/SA', with a 58' Pontiac Chieftain and a different HP combination.

1969.....I/SA........( 11.50 - 11.99 Wt/Hp )




And in 1970, classed in 'J/SA'........( 11.50 to 11.99 Wt/Hp )

Chasing the...'J/SA'... NHRA National Record of...........12.90 @ 106.50 MPH
