Maybe Grape will chime in with more details.
Pretty sure Mike won @ Commerce in the late 80's, and maybe another final or two...Nat's ,Div's ??
Mike knew that car like the back of his hand...That's what it takes to win with a 14 sec. car .... Put it right on the money , with a good light. Holding back .02 against someone who's also holding .02, .03, .04...is a crap shoot at best...in my opinion
I'm pretty sure he's the most recent winner...dial in style

Bob Shaw won a CIC race in U/SA , I believe.

Franklin DeBart (Johhny D's son) might have won something with Billy's blue 6 cyl. Nova.
