I was sitting around thinking about some of the old cars you never see anymore and the little Pontiac T-1000 that ran in SS/FC back in the day with a Iron Duke was one of my favorites. I used to get a kick of of watching it get chased to the finish line and always pulled for it to win. The car ran an automatic and sounded like a jar full of mad hornets going down the track. Does anyone have any information on the car, or if it is still being campained. It was the only "chevette" I saw running in a class but I didn't get to any NHRA races till the 1990's. Looks like it the the stock weight break for for a 1979 Chevette 97ci rated at 80hp is on the W/Stock weight break. Did anyone ever try one as a stocker? Thanks in advance for any info. Don Jackson
