Also Rob Robinson won at least 1 national event, but I`m thinking it was 2, with his 65 Impala wagon in R/SA. Both these cars were 283`s.

Memory serves me correctly, back in Denver at their Mile High Nationals, it was an all 283 full-sized final between the late Cal Queapama, and Cal Method. Although Method won the final rnd heat, Queapama was awarded the win due to a cam issue with Method's car. Moreover, there was a guy named Rob, who raced one of those late 70's Dodge 2.2 engined fwd cars from the Paul Rossi stables to a final round finish at (I believe) the '79 Mile Highs....
