Yeah, that Bird has run strong for a long time. Decided to check the 2004 Indy Stock Q-list. Don Holmes was #13. Only K/SA car quicker was Bob Mulry's '74 Formy. There were quite a few strong running Pontiacs on that list.

Don was #4, in '05.

Wonder how many competitive Pontiac powered Stock & SS cars Bob has built & sold ? He's another one of my Pontiac heroes !

Got another Bird question for ya'll. I'm sure some of ya'll remember the white '77 Bird that Tibor Kadar drove, a few years back. I've read that he was #2 in Stock points in 2006, IIRC. I read that the car was powered by a 350 Pontiac engine, back then.

I have another pic of it, with a div 7 number on it, which I have labeled as 2010, still being driven by Kibor.

Well, if my info is correct, Tommy Pettigrew has now owned the car for a few years. I've been posting it as still being a Pontiac powered '77 Bird.

But, I just read the Stock pre-entry list for Indy. There is a car listed with the name Thomas Pettigrew. The listing says the car is a '78 model & is Chevy 350 powered.

Since the car is easily converted to a '78 model, & a 350 Chevy engine is legal for a '78 Bird, I'm thinkin he may have switched the Bird over to Chevy power.

SO, anybody here know Tommy Pettigrew & the car well enuff to know what year & engine he's now claiming ?

I hate to post bad info, as I'm sure most others do. And since I'm not makin the circuit, I have to sometimes ask active racers for info about certain cars.

So, I'm askin for help with which engine is being run in this car.

Thanks !
