Best B.O.P. stock and super stockers of all time

As mentioned, there have been some competitive '77 Lemans, GP, & Catalina models.

I mentioned the GP, driven by Don Himes, now driven by Lauren Kanuik. She's actually driving at the Dutch Classic, today, & picked up the O/SA class win.

Bob Michael built & raced a Lemans & a Catalina. He sold the Lemans to Dave Ribeiro.

Kyle Riley drove a Lemans. I think it was one of those cars which has changed hands several times. Seems that the story has been told that Kyle's Lemans was damaged. Dean Ribeiro sold him a nice body, which he used to rebuild his Stocker. I think the Stephenson family had one, maybe the same car ? Jack Larson ended up with the Kyle Riley car. Then he sent it down to one of his kin, in Louisiana, who later passed away. Don't know who has the car now.

Will put together some pics of these cars, & any other info I find.
