Super Stockers from the past...

[oldskool]

#1 I'll begin this post with what is probably the most famous Pontiac Super Stocker. It's certainly the most famous '72 GTO Super Stocker. It belonged to Sonny Ray. He set at least 1 nat record, with it, & won some big races. David Rampy also drove it to his 1st nat event win, at the '83 Cajun Nats. We saw it run & took pics, at the '78 Cajuns.

#2 Gary Moore drove a '72 455HO SS Bird to a nat record at the Amarillo World Finals.

#3 Another '72 GTO record holder was driven by famous Pontiac racer, Truman Fields. He got the SS/K class win @ Indy in '72.

#4 Burnett Pontiac sponsored SS/JA Bird. Great shot of an old 5-amber tree. That's what we saw. Who knows what year most of the big tracks went to the 3-amber tree ?

#5 3240 is Bob Michael's perm number. So, I reckin this was another of his many Pontiac powered drag cars. Looks like the major sponsor was Golden United insurance. Has an Ellison decal over the rear wheel well. So, I reckin Ellison at least did the machine work on the engine. It looked to be another of the small tire slapper bar Super Stockers. Don't know if #4 & #5 Birds are connected in any way, other than the gold color. Bob raced & sold lots of Pontiacs. So, these pics COULD be of the same car, I suppose.

#6 The White bros won the SS/JA class @ Indy '72.

#7 Pontiaction '72 GTO. I think this is the same car that Phil Szupka drove for a while. Same name, anyhow.

#8 Dynamic Automotive '72 SS/JA Goat.

#9 Didn't see any other '72's in my files to post. So I'll add this shot of the White bros SS/JA class winner @ Indy.
