I assume the "66" was supposed to be 67.
There were a few '66 & '67 GTO's that did pretty good.
The Knafel '66 "Trophy Car" apparently won a few. But most of those were probably in 1966. And the "Limelighter" '67 held the D/S class record in '68. But, that would obviously not be included in a '67 year recap. So, these 2 cars missed the target year 1967. But, although the Mopar, Chevy, & Ford cars dominated drag racing back then, there were always a few Pontiacs that did pretty good. But the best drivers went with teams that had factory support. The quickest Pontiacs sometimes had mostly just dealer support, such as Knafel Pontiac, Royal Pontiac, & a few others.
