WE MAKE SERIOUS PONTIAC HORSEPOWER
AND WE KNOW MORE ABOUT BUILDING STOCK PONTIAC ENGINES THAN ANYONE.
"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

I used to own this dragster. I found it in a garage in Long Beach back in the '80's and was lucky enough to locate Wayne King
who used to drive it. Wayne has since restored it. Check out their site at: http://www.dossclaytonkingtopfuel.com/DossClaytonKingTopFuelDragster.html

Got to love those old Drag News ads. This one is from Ja., 12, 1963. Guess you've got to be "older" to know who these guys are. Eh?

People are always asking me how I'm doing, which I appreciate very much. Nothing much has changed with my condition tho'.
Scheduled for surgery as soon as I can take two months off. In the meantime I'm working as much as I can. Stop by the shop and say Hi!

I see there's more DUMB forged cranks on the market. Don't forget - you cannot use a stock Pontiac
rod size or length with them. Unbelievably stupid. Click on the FAQ button and find the Chinese crank topic.
Got some great news coming.....
New carb mod that will change how everyone tunes Holeys and Demons....this is killer!

EMERGENCY!! Traditional block tubes are no longer being made. The block tube is the tube that fits into the block for the dipstick.
Don't throw your old one away! Until someone remakes this item do your best to save yours. I usually have good luck
using a 1/2 square piece of steel approx ten inches long. You must lay the end of the square flush with the dipstick end,
then give it a hard whack with a 2 pound sledge. No pussy hits like some of my previous employees. You can't be afraid of the hammer.
WHACK it HARD. Once you manage to drive it up to the hole in the block, use an old head bolt. It fits perfectly to slide it
through the hole in the block. Lay the bolt on the block and tap the tube out. You see the end of the tube that fits into the block is larger,
and once it's been pounded in that end gets smaller. No worries on reusing it. Just mix a small batch of JB Weld when
you reuse it. Let it set up over night.
If I could I would make some. Need money...! Don't we all.
The most incredible run in NHRA history. Did you know? Tony Schumachers Alan Johnson
tuned Top Fueler had to win Pomona, AND set a new ET record to win the Championship. He did it, on the LAST PASS!!
4.42 is the record and the Championship is theirs. Right after the win I caught up with Alan.
(and the party was on.)

8/16/06 - Brain Crones TORQUE DAWG
FYI - 2006 NHRA Division Seven Stock Eliminator has had four races to date.
All four Stock winners have been r-e-a-l Pontiacs! Looks like a Pontiac could be the division seven champion if this keeps up.
The winners are: Leo Glassbrener, Scott Burton, Tibor Kadar. Leo won TWO meets! Great driving guys!
TRAIN WRECK 1967 Pontiac style
Paul Dilcher wins Stock Eliminator! Sponsored by RRE - Paul takes home the moola.
See Pauls NHRA Firebird Stocker HERE.
"Wrecks to Rags" - how to spend $46,000 on a '71 Tempest to make it look like a '70 GTO (and never will be a GTO)- did you see that TV show? oh MY what hoot..!!....
No pics - just wondering if you saw it. More unbelievable crap. How'd ya like that 470 hp 467" Streeroker engine? Make 'em look nice - who cares how they run. duh.
ZZ Top & me - well, that's just plain cool.
Cannonball competitor - 100 mph for how many hours?
Pontiac Engine builder stupidity - ask questions people!
BACK IN STOCK - those super thick (5/16ths) cork valve cover gaskets - yippie! Only $24.00 a set.
12/22/05 latest unbelievable combination click here
Subtle. Style. Sharp.

First one to email with the answer gets $20.00 bucks.
Not a Pontiac but a cool pic of a "new guy." Taken at Pomona 1960
THIS.....is cool. An old fart like me might say, "You had to be there," but this picture does a pretty good job
conveying the power. No doubt about it, these were great days......1965.
JEFF WALKER KICKS BOOTY AND takes home the BOOTY too!
Still waiting to get last years T/A Drag race pics....sorry....@#$!!!
Mike Barren stuns 'em in Ohio. Street car runs quicker than most drag only cars 8.89 @ 153 mph
Aftermarket crank warning. Think about this before you buy.
Another Welch Mitchell-like screw-up. You might say, "End exhaust bolt too long?" I'll fix it mate!
Guess what this block is! Win a new T-shirt.
R.I.P. John DeLorean - The creator of the GTO and many innovative mechanical designs.
Without him there never would have been a GTO.

If you didn't already know, Sept, 5th I was rear ended by a loaded 18 wheeler doing 95 mph.
6/17/05 UPDATE
Physically I'm a little better. Still dealing with muscle spasms, a pinched nerve in my neck, and FINALLY the chest pains have
been diagnosed as a severe contusion where the top ribs meet the sturnum.
As I look at Dennis's rig below I'm remindedof the similar Kenworth that smashed into me.
Imagine that rig hitting you hard enough to push a loaded
30 foot enclosed trailer into my truck to do this: 
(My trucks rear bumper)
It boggles my mind that all of that bulk, moved this far forward in a fraction of a second....my race car is trashed.
Obviously I'm grateful to be alive. The biggest downside is not having enough money to hire someone to help me in the shop full time.
I'm happy to be able to do what work I can - I plug along seven days a week. I hate pills.
As always - the most important thing to me - is a job well done. I apologize for any delays this has caused.
I sure didn't ask for this. It is what it is.
DeeDee will be answering the phone Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can't answer the phone as often right now.
I need to keep busy doing what I can in a day before the pain drags me down.
I don't like being messed up. This really stinks. And it's a blood pressure tap dance.
My Doc says close the doors and go lay on the beach for six months. (really, she did.)
But I got bills to pay - (I had no health insurance.) Be a couple years for the lawyers settle up I figure.
Keep the humor and good faith coming. I need it.
Thanks for understanding.
We offer conditional free pick up and delivery. Dennis Ryncarzs' big rig might come to you.
