Notes: The car was named after his son. 8.21 for this year, but that seemed way too quick. We need to confirm if Setto even ran that time in 1960, his last year of competition.; Drag News (9/5/59) reported that Postoian ran 182.92 mph, backed up with 179.83 mph to set a new Drag News 1320 world record, but Garlits broke that at the same event with 183.66 mph. The 182.92 mph speed was also reported in the Portland Maine Evening Express on 8/24/59. Photo: Moline Dispatch, Aug. 26, 1959 - MB

Notes: Real name Serrop Postoian. A crash in Detroit in July 1960 ended his driving career. The crash was thought to be caused by the Mark 3 dragster's new wire front wheels. We originally had times of 8.21/182.92 listed in 1959. That was way too quick for that year and probably too quick for 1960. We need confirmation of Setto's best times. Setto was the person who first called Don Garlits the Swamp Rat. The 'gofer' on Setto's team: Connie Kalitta.; At Detroit Dragway on May 22, he ran 9.72 at 182 mph. A month later, he ran 9.01 at 182.54 mph at Detroit before blowing his clutch. On July 3 at Detroit, he ran 9.04 at 183.28 mph. The next day in Detroit, he veered off the strip into a ditch, going 150 mph, destroying the car and breaking his left arm. That ended his racing days. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB

Notes: John was at Cayuga early in May for its May Day FC Championships. It was an eight-car show, and in the first round, his 7.20/187.50 beat a completely sideways Willie Borsch. In the semi-final, his 7.00/212.76 lost to eventual winner Vic Cecelia's 6.65/219 in the "Telstar." He came back out later for a consolation race where his 7.94/191.48 beat Frank Oglesby, who broke. The 6.35/225 times from a magazine feature on John and his match race special.

Notes: This team was tough and was able to surprise with a big number from time to time. Pott failed to qualify the "Mr. Norm" car at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. His 6.411 (speed unknown) was the second alternate. In June, Pott was in Detroit for the North American Grand Nationals. He had problems in the first round, but his 8.28 advanced as opponent Al Bergler shut off on the line. In the semifinals, his 6.64/209.78 beat Tom Prock's 6.70/200 in the "Detroit Tiger." He faced Tom McEwen in the final, and the "Goose" blew his engine while Pott picked up the victory with a 6.66. At Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals, his 6.29 qualified #5 in the eight-car field. He beat low qualifier Billy Meyer in the first round with a 6.27, but in the semifinals, his 6.95 lost to Kenny Bernstein's 6.57. The team qualified for the PHR Championships, which was pretty good considering that Bernstein, Dale Pulde, Tripp Shumake, Ron Colson, and others failed to make the show. Unfortunately, John lost early. At Indy for the NHRA US Nationals, Pott ran 6.19 early in qualifying, but, figuring that wasn't enough, he came back out and ran 6.139/231.36. That still wasn't enough, as he ended up as the first alternate for the field. That was the team's last NHRA national event of the year. Where did they run 236.22? | This car changed hands many times, eventually landing in Jim Wemett's garage. - Tim Simplot

Notes: John was in Milan in July for the IHRA Northern Nationals. He qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 6.20, and he beat Dale Pulde in round one before losing to Dick Rosberg in the semifinals. John was also at Union Grove on July 27 for the NHRA Division 3 race. He qualified on the "bump" for the eight-car show but lost early. The team's next stop was at Bristol for the IHRA Summernationals. A 6.42/212.26 qualified #4 and set up a first-round meeting with a poorly qualified (#8), Raymond Beadle driving the "Blue Max." Both spun the tires, but Beadle's 6.50 beat Pott's 7.93. John's best of 6.41 was good for the fourth alternate at the PHR Championships at Martin, Michigan. John did not race on the NHRA national event trail this year.

Notes: John was at Beech Bend on August 23 for the NHRA Eastern Regional race. A 6.22/208.81 qualified #4 in the eight-car field. He improved to 6.18/215.31 in the opening round to beat Rick Nutt, but in the semifinals, his 6.27/217.39 lost to the eventual winner Kenny Bernstein's 6.19/217. The "Sting" ran really well at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. John's 6.082 qualified #15, and he beat Tim Grose and Al Segrini in the first two rounds before falling to Raymond Beadle's 6.02/249 in the semifinals. Pott ran 6.23/229 in the loss. John was at Bristol on September 13 for the IHRA US Open. He qualified well in the eight-car field. In the first round, his 6.11 beat Roy Harris' 6.44. In the semifinals, a 6.07/234.98 beat a tire-smoking Dale Pulde. He faced Paul Smith in the final, and although John only ran 7.67/135.54, he still won the race when Smith crossed the centerline and was disqualified. The following week (September 20), he was at Houston International for the NHRA Western Regional. Only five cars showed for what was supposed to be an eight-car show, and John's 6.28/227.27 qualified #2. Surprisingly, in the first round, an off-pace 6.99/143.08 lost to Gary Burgin's 6.60/213. John's 6.082/236.22 at Indy were his best NHRA times of the year.

Notes: Photo from Popular Hot Rodding Championships, Martin, MI, 1982. | This team picked up the pace in 1982. John drove Larry Coogle's "Sting" at both NHRA and IHRA events during the year and did quite well. The team missed the season opening NHRA Winternationals, but in March they showed up at Gainesville and qualified #3 with a 6.01/234.37. John beat Tom Hoover in the first round, with a 6.17/229.00. In the second round, he fell off to a 6.95/181.45 that lost to Tim Grose's 6.31/234. At Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals, he made it into the final before losing to Dale Pulde's 6.26/238 with an off pace 7.92/134. Atlanta held an eight-car show in early April and Pott was there. Unfortunately, he lost to Kosty Ivanof in the first round. John was back at Atlanta on April 25 for the NHRA Southern Nationals. It was another eight-car show and his 6.27/231.36 failed to make the field (fifth alternate). On May 2, at Rockingham for the Pro-Am Championships, John made it into the final at the second IHRA race in a row. The "Sting" set Top Speed at 245.90 and beat low qualifier Raymond Beadle in the first round, when the "Blue Max" driver got out of shape. In the semifinals, he got around a tire shaking Billy Meyer, putting him in the final against Kenny Bernstein. Pott got his second runner-up finish when Bernstein beat him with a 6.21. He was pretty disappointed when he failed to qualify at the next IHRA race, the Springnationals at Bristol. NHRA held its Cajun Nationals at Baton Rouge at the end of May and it was a tough field to crack as there were only eight spots available. John qualified #5 with a 6.14 which set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Don Prudhomme. It wasn't much of a race as John lost a rod shortly after leaving the line, and fell to Don's 6.10/242. At Columbus, the team's best of 6.34/226.13 was good for the fourth alternate spot at the NHRA Springnationals. Things went better the following week (June 20) at Norwalk for the IHRA World Nationals. A 5.98 qualified #5 in the eight-car field. Unfortunately, he lost to Beadle who set a 5.88 track record in beating him in the first round. During the early part of the season, the team was still running the Firebird body. Not sure when they changed over to the Omni body, but at Maple Grove on June 27 they were running the Omni at the Super Stock Magazine Nationals. Once again, John made it into the final and once again he was denied the win. This time Pulde got him with a 6.33 as John got crossed up and shut off to 10.65. In July, Pott was at Milan for the IHRA Northern Nationals. He lasted until the semifinals before eventual winner Beadle’s 6.02/246 stopped his 6.22/220.58 from advancing.
