In 1990, Sal Biondo got his 1st nat event win, at the Summer Nats, in Phil Monteith's '76 Bird. All the Biondo guys won races in Phill Monteith Pontiacs. Mick Leiferman won the Keystone Nats, & was RU @ the Mid-South Nats.

The only Mick Leiferman cars I've seen pics of were a '71 & a '73 GTO, both Stockers.

But, this article says Mick was driving a Firebird that ran a 9.51. Don't think any Pontiac powered GT cars were running that quick, in 1990, were they ? Just found where it said he was later running a '92 Bird in SS/AX. So, what are/were the rules for SS/AX ?

So, maybe every reference to Mick, in SS, is in a Chevy powered car. Anybody know ?

On the '91 list, the only car I'm pretty sure of is Art Peterson. Assume he was driving his '69 GTO. He got RU @ the Winston Finals race.

In '92, Mike McKinney got RU @ the Mid-South Nats. I assume he continued to drive Pontiac powered SS cars.

In '94, Art Peterson won the Winter Nats. I'm glad to see that. Most everybody seems to think Art & his wife are real nice folks ! And, it doesn't hurt that he drives my favorite Goat, a '69.

As mentioned, there are names on these lists of guys who drove several different brands of cars. Sal & Peter Biondo are a couple, who drove Pontiacs, sometimes. Peter is shown winning a race in '94. Sal has been winner & RU on several of the lists. I know that Peter began driving the Hatari Bird, at some point, (both the 3rd gen & the 4th gen) & won some championships in it. But, there is no way for me to tell what they were driving, just from lookin at these lists. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Peter & Sal picked up some more wins & RU's in '95 thru '97. Don't know what they were driving. Peter won his first SS championship in '96. I think he was driving the '82 version of the Hatari. Not absolutely sure.

http://www.nhra.net/50th/results.asp?mYear=1997

Then of course, DRC has '98-up results.
