Never knew about this thread, I’ll
Grow one of my cars in there. RAIV 4spd 3.90 nodular posi Raced by Stephen Pontiac in Bristol CT by Bill Eckstrom and Tom Mc innis Bought the car in the early 90s (I’ve had 21 69 birds) but I drag raced this one for about 15 years! 15k original drag race miles w a little street racing/ driving on dealer plates along the way. First two and last pics are the two different paint schemes Stephen had on it believed to be 69-70 season change over.
The rest of the pics are when I was racing it
Best I ran with it is 11.73 , best Stephen ram with it was 11.93. Car was a C stock class car. They had previously raced a RAII GTO and a RAV pro stock 70-73 firebird . The RAV pro stock engine is currently in this car and the RAIV engine is on the stand waiting to be reinstalled someday. Those times are with the balanced and blueprinted RAIV engine. It hasn’t been raced with the pro stock engine but that engine ran 10.34 in the pro stock car in 71.
Pic of it next to my white turbo car is the car Stephen car a couple years ago. Still about the same today.m
The car was painted by Wayne Woody wood who painted a lot of the funny cars around that period of time. As well as stockers Super stockers and a lot of customs .
