Default Parent/Children National Event Winners

Drag Race Central mentioned that the Fletchers joined 73 other parent and son/daughter combos that have won NHRA National Events. I have 28 that I know of and 12 others that I think might be. Any others? Please correct me if I am wrong in any of these.

John/Ashley/Courtney Force
Brandon/Kenny Bernstein
Dan/Thomas Fletcher (the three above are the only ones to do it on the same day, although I thought the Connelly's did once?)
Dave/Ray Connelly
Tim/Byron/Bryan Worner
Todd/Vicki Beam
Warren/Kurt Johnson
Sam/Peter/Sal Biondo
Brad/Shelly/Randy Anderson
Larry Dixon Sr/Jr
Ted/Kyle Seipel
Jerry/Darrell Gwynn
Rickie/Matt Smith
Jim/Mike Dunn
Byron/Matt/Andrew Hines
Bernie/Brad Plourd
Mike/Doug Gordon
Jim/Eric Waldo (Gary too?)
Lou/Steve Gasperelli
Mike/Melanie Troxel
Clark/Gina Mundt
David/Buddy Nickens (and Bo. Not sure which is Davids son and which is his nephew)
John/Franklin DiBartolomeo
Alan/Todd Patterson
Phil/Tony Mandella
Bob/Craig Marshall
Steve/Kate Harker
Bob/Doug Lambeck.

Those are the 28 I'm 99% sure of. What about these 12?
Dave/Bryan Merkle
Mary Ann/Bill/Nitro Joe Jackson
Jeg Coughlin Sr/all four kids
Ray/Mike Sawyer
Alan/Samantha/Jason Kenny
Gary/GT Tonglet
Sherman Adcock Sr/Jr/Woody
Bobby Warren and Joey/Jeff
The Emmons family
Don/Steve Wann
The Koppien family.

Anyone have anyone else I might be forgetting?

Jerry/Rick Ryan
Also I think
Randy/Mike Mans
Marlin/David Bogner

I don't think the Koppiens have multiple wins. Aaron was in two finals in 05 but got runner up in both.

I posted the same thread on the .90 Forum and found:
Rick/Jarod Bowman
AJ/Chad Covert
John/Shaun/Tiffani Hyland
Ray III/Jim Fordyce

Plus the others added here. 38 down, 36 to go. Another "maybe" is if the dad Frank Pedregon won, all three of his kids have. Also Jim/Kyle Rizzoli.
