On the Stock Q-list, Brad Burton's '72 Formula is listed in I/SA. Unless he switched over to a smaller engine, or a different car, that must be a mistake. Last week, Brad's car was running D/SA.

Could someone there please check to see what combo Brad is driving, in Stock ?

THANKS !

I was wondering the same thing. Different car or different combo. What's up???

Maybe a new secret combo?

His Mom gave Brad permission to drive "Grimace"...one of the family cars...
Since I don't want to be in Diane's bad side, Brad can fill in the details...

So, I assume this info is a secret, known only to family & friends.

Maybe he didn't wanna pull the Bird from WA. Looks to be round 1300 miles or so.

I remember a race where Scott drove a slow Mopar Stocker of some sort, out at one of those Great Northwest races. Borrowed it.

Slightly off subject, but I sure did hate it when Scott sold his '70 RAIV BIrd, quickest Pontiac powered Stocker ever, to someone who was gonna take it overseas. The sale is none of my business. But I sure miss seeing it on the Q-lists, & reporting about it, on Pontiac sites. It was a one-of-a-kind car, on the modern drag race circuit. I miss it.

We are off to Sacramento Double header......

All our competitors had very sharp knives 1st Round

.002
.008
.010
.010
In that order

My .015 was my best and not good enough (.002 Loss )

We were amazed to see the number of Spectators = More than
I have seen at a Division Race for a long long time!! Our pit had people
seriously interested and engaged going thru all day long and we enjoyed
that for a change!

A lot of us don't miss the RA IV car.

Forgive me, but I can't help being curious about that statement.

Since I don't know any of you guys, I have to wonder if it's because you don't like Pontiac powered Pontiacs ?

Or you think the car was illegal ?

Or you don't like Scott Burton ?

I've read where people posted that the Burtons are real nice people. So, I assume that's not the reason.

At big races, the car was not the quickest car in B/SA, recently. Looks like the last time it was at the US Nats, in 2015, there were at least 4 B/SA cars quicker, including yours.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2015#indextop

Since then, some B/SA cars ran in the 9's, & several ran 10.0?. So, I assume the quicker B/SA competitors were not afraid of a heads-up run with the Pontiac.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2018#indextop

But, Scott did go rounds & win some races, with the car. Noticed Scott is still racing in Stock, but now driving a 2010 Ford. So, is he more accepted now that he's not driving an old Pontiac ?

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2020#indextop

Just from reading the posts here, it seems that most have pretty good comradery with MOST fellow competitors, UNLESS they think(or know) they are cheating.

I have no idea which cars are legal & which are not, nor who the good guys are vs the bad apples.

So, just so I'll know, please explain the reason for your statement.

Thanks !
