Default Re: Drag Racing Heros

Since I'm a Pontiac guy, all my heroes drove Pontiacs, at least for a while. Some of 'em didn't stay with Pontiac. Some have raced both Pontiac & some other brand at the same race. But, anyhow, these were my heroes, while they were/are racing Pontiacs. I've really enjoyed learning of, & sharing with others, the accomplishments of these & other Pontiac powered racers !

(1) Truman Fields

(2) Jack Mullins

(3) Bob Michael

(4) Scott & Brad Burton

(5) Don Kennedy

(6) Gary & Charlene Wood

(7) John Clegg

(8] Don & Roy Gay

(9) Arnie "The Farmer"

(10) The original H-O Racing Specialties guys.

(11) Arlen Vanke

(12) Bill Abraham

(13) John & Ryan Schloe

(14) Nunzi

(15) Randi Lyn Shipp

(16) Carroll Warling

(17) Roy & Mike Mckinney

(18) Ken Shawver/Monte Howard

(19) Sonny Ray

(20) Phil Monteith & all the Biondo family who raced Pontiacs.

Well, that's 20 +. But I can think of others, like Phil Szupka, Lloyd & Carol Cox, Richie Hoffman, Mickey Thompson, Bob Mulry, Bob Aceves, Bill Rink, Lindy Lindholm, John & Keri Angeles, Mick Leiferman, Leo Glasbrenner, Dave Ribeiro, Todd Hoven, Bryan Phillips, Larry Maxwell, Chris Stevenson, Don & Rob Holmes, Steve Smith, Jay Hamilton, Ramon Lowe, Rock Running, Al Vanis, & I could add many more to my list.

Most all these people had some pretty big accomplishments, in one or more Pontiacs. Some have had lots of accomplishments, in several cars, and some, for a long time. Some have built & driven the cars. Some just drove 'em.
