Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers

May have asked this before.

Jack Mullins won the US Nats in '75, beating Judy Lilly's Mopar, in the final.

So, was that the first Pontiac SS win, at the US Nats ? Not counting those earlier races, when they were still running Top Stock & Jr. Stock.

Has there been another Pontiac win in SS, at the US Nats, since then ?

Is there an online source for a list of all Stock & SS US Nats winners ?

Most all the winners lists I've found, so far, only list the Pro winners.

Don't know why I haven't mentioned it(or maybe I have). But not only did Jack win the Sports Nats & the US Nats in '75, but: "...He won the 1976 Sportsnationals running a 12.51, taking out Steve Bagwell's SS/BA Plymouth.

Jack went on to win a divisional points race in Louisiana and another one in Oklahoma City. He was the #1 qualifier at the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown, but redlighted in the final against local hero Bernie Agaman and the "Bayonne Missile" '71 454 Corvette..."

That ain't bad for a 2-year run, in a old Pontiac wagon. He took out 2 of the best SS Mopars of that time period, won the Sports Nats back-to-back, & qualified #1 at the Summer Nats, with an RU finish !

Yep, Jack was one of my Pontiac heroes.
