Best SS/B of all time?
 

What was the best SS/B of all time. Ya gotta go back to the 60s to start, this is a tough one. Curious to see how many nuts like me enjoyed this particular class. Fast, hard to drive but dad gum exciting to watch.....or drive.

Many good ones I'm sure but how about Pennsylvania's Ken Montgomery. He bought his car new in '65, has raced the car all these years, has two National Event wins, the last one at Maple Grove in '98. Fast car and excellent driver, Ken and family are a class act. I've had the pleasure of announcing his racing many times, fun car to watch and talk about, he gets my vote!

Gotta be Jimmy Bridges.

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

yup

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

I'm a Chevy guy but I'd have to say the most successful and dominant SS/B car was Leal's '65 Plymouth, the 1974 version!

Jimmy was running 5.70 in the 1/8 on the brakes Sunday. :cool:

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

Mike , I'll second that on Ken Montgomery's "Triple Nickel" 65 Plymouth.
And a tip of the hat to Paul Adam's T-Bolt !!!

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

Gotta go with Jimmy.

I think Ronnie Sox sold a few Belvederes, Road Runners, and GTX's for Chrysler. Dick Landy sold alot of Coronets, Super Bee's and Chargers for Chrysler while in SS/B trim.

Ken Montgomery is my vote, this car is his life, Top notch car and as nice a person as you'll ever meet for sure. I stuck around late after loosing early Sunday to see him win the 98 Keys, I got home around 4am and had to work the next morning, it was worth it. I think Leal was the first in the 9s so he gets 2nd place.

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

Butch Leal the car was way ahead of it's time

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

X2 of course.

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

don't forget about the sox and martin ss/b cuda the boss!!!!!

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

Don't forget about white '69 Camaro from Bowling Green, KY. (Ogles)

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

I think Ray Paquet should be right up there with the best SS/B of all time. He's probably been to more class finals at the U.S. Nationals as anyone else. Can you think of a better measurement than that?

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

x2 on Ray Paquet and Paul Adams

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

Great answers, tough question, many good choices. Leal's car was really way ahead of the curve when debuted. Paquet is a front runner, so is Montgomery. We are missing a few.

Paul Adams followed closely by Ray Pacquet.

Re: Best SS/B of all time?
 

x2

Relative to the era it raced, I have to pick Butch Leal's '65 Plymouth in 1974. This takes nothing from the accomplishments of other SS/B racers. As mentioned by others, Leal's car was just years ahead of anything else running at the time.
