I still occasionally think of my 1st Pontiac hero, Truman Fields. Won the '73 US Nats, and set a new nat record, with his '68 RA2 stick Bird. The car won again a few years later, with a different driver. Another trivia fact is that the runner up that year was also Pontiac powered, and it was his 3rd US Nats RU in a row. That may still be a record.

"... Mick Leiferman probably holds the record for Indy frustration? He reached the Stock final three straight years (1975, 1976, 1977) and finished as runner-up all three times. He has never won the U.S. Nationals..."



Nowadays, it's tuff to be competitive with a stick. But, it IS lots of fun.

Adam has said he might try a 350HO engine this season. Lookin forward to seeing how much he can get out of it.
