Mike Bassin · 11-04-2010, 01:54 PM

These are my favorite racers of all time, some go way back to the early sixties to the present, from pros, sportsman and bracket racers in particular order.

1. Leon Miranian
2. Bob Luck
3. Tommy Howes
4. Tom Sneeden
5. Dave Rietz
6. Ronnie Sox
7. Dave Strickler
8. Don Garlits
9. Bob Carlson
10. Paul Werner

I have had the pleasure as an announcer to send all of these racers down race tracks since the early sixties except Don Garlits, I got to give him an achievement award on the starting line at Palm Beach Int. Raceway in 2008. All great racers and great people. I could list many more but there's my top ten.

Thanks Alex: For your honorable mention. In my 40 years of modified and super stock racing, I can honestly say that you and your dad are some of the best people in the sport. Say Hi to "Toli" and your mom for me. Bill
