Forgive me, but I can't help being curious about that statement.

Since I don't know any of you guys, I have to wonder if it's because you don't like Pontiac powered Pontiacs ?

Or you think the car was illegal ?

Or you don't like Scott Burton ?

I've read where people posted that the Burtons are real nice people. So, I assume that's not the reason.

At big races, the car was not the quickest car in B/SA, recently. Looks like the last time it was at the US Nats, in 2015, there were at least 4 B/SA cars quicker, including yours.

Since then, some B/SA cars ran in the 9's, & several ran 10.0?. So, I assume the quicker B/SA competitors were not afraid of a heads-up run with the Pontiac.

But, Scott did go rounds & win some races, with the car. Noticed Scott is still racing in Stock, but now driving a 2010 Ford. So, is he more accepted now that he's not driving an old Pontiac ?

Just from reading the posts here, it seems that most have pretty good comradery with MOST fellow competitors, UNLESS they think(or know) they are cheating.

I have no idea which cars are legal & which are not, nor who the good guys are vs the bad apples.

So, just so I'll know, please explain the reason for your statement.

Thanks !
