He is div 5 champ in Stock AND Super Stock !

https://www.nhra.com/standings/2021/...ab=super-stock

Of course, I especially like the fact that his SS car is Pontiac powered !

I think this is the same car that Steve Smith raced for several years, also with Pontiac power. I think Steve ran 400's. Scott began with a 400. But I think the car's had a 428, for a while now.

Scott's son Brad also drove the GT Bird some, & has won at least 1 race in it. Most here know that Brad is a 2-time nat Stock champ, driving a 455 powered '72 Formula Bird.

For the few(if there are any here) who don't know, Scott built & drove the quickest old school Pontiac powered Stocker ever. It was a '70 RAIV powered Firebird Formula.

He sold it & it was shipped overseas, a year or 2 back. The Burtons have fielded some quick Pontiac powered Stock & SS cars, for quite a few years now. That makes them some of my favorite Pontiac heroes !

Also read a post saying that Scott's wife Diane won the div 5 Stock qualifying award, driving her '74 Formula. Still trying to get all the details of that win straight. If anybody has a link, please post it. Will edit this post with more info on Diane's win, when I have it.

This is all I've found, so far.

"Every weekend, the number one qualifier in Competition Eliminator, Super Stock, and Stock will receive the NHRA West Central Patterson-Elite Top Qualifier Bonus Award. In addition, the highest qualifying points earners will receive a champion’s style jacket at season’s end..."
