09/26/2017 – Pontiacs skipped Race 36 on the 1951 Grand National circuit, but found themselves on the starting grid once again for Race 37 on October 28, 1951, at the .5-mile dirt track of Marchbanks Speedway, in Hanford, California.
Les Bomar lined up his self-owned, V-Gap Spark Plug sponsored 1949 Pontiac and eventually finished 18th (records are sparse regarding starting position and laps completed for all for a few drivers). Bomar’s Pontiac was one of 3 1949 models that raced that happened to be the oldest models on the racetrack (the others being Fred Bince and his 1949 Plymouth and Jim Byrd in his 1949 Buick).
