Yeah, that Bird has run strong for a long time.
Wonder how many competitive Pontiac powered Stock & SS cars Bob has built & sold ? He's another one of my Pontiac heroes !
Got another Bird question for ya'll. I'm sure some of ya'll remember the white '77 Bird that Tibor Kadar drove, a few years back. I've read that he was #2 in Stock points in 2006, IIRC. I read that the car was powered by a 350 Pontiac engine, back then.
I have another pic of it, with a div 7 number on it, which I have labeled as 2010, still being driven by Kibor.
Well, if my info is correct, Tommy Pettigrew has now owned the car for a few years. I've been posting it as still being a Pontiac powered '77 Bird.
But, I just read the Stock pre-entry list for Indy. There is a car listed with the name Thomas Pettigrew. The listing says the car is a '78 model & is Chevy 350 powered.

Since the car is easily converted to a '78 model, & a 350 Chevy engine is a legal for a '78 Bird, I'm thinkin he may have switched the Bird over to Chevy power.
SO, anybody here know Tommy Pettigrew & the car well enuff to know what year & engine he's now claiming ?
I hate to post bad info, as I'm sure most others do. And since I'm not makin the circuit, I have to sometimes ask active racers for info about certain cars.
So, I'm askin for help with which engine is being run in this car.
Thanks !
