Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning
After reading a thread that started 12-10-08 titled "Lower Class Stockers", I now realize that Kyle Riley finished Div. 3 in the top ten a few times (so the divisional half of my #3 referrence was wrong), and Mike Carr, now Bill O'Conner, & Kyle Riley have won divisionals with fwd cars.
As for my #4, comment, IHRA had a national event winner (per Brett Kepner), as far back as 1977!
Dennis, when did Bill win that division race? Belated congrats to Bill for doing it!
At least after reading that earlier mentioned thread, my points #'s 1, 2 & 5 (national events only), are still out there to grab, as well as #3 nationally, are still up for grabs. So there's plenty to shoot for, and if I'm not fortunate enough to do it, then I hope Mike, or someone else out there trying to get 'er done, with a fwd stocker will, because that'll be more significant given the higher degree of difficulty in such an accomplishment!
