Re: what was/ who had the most successful stick shift stocke
Truman won back to back IHRA world championships in 1982 and 1983. Was the Car craft allstar driver of the year in stock in 83. He should be mentioned in the early years.
The guys in Division 1 were and are still some of the best. Bednaz ( Ed) Bednaz (Todd) Bob Broadbent Dean Cook and Sam Murry Quote:

Some of you guys need to read the first Post/Question that was asked, then you can delete Kevin Helms from you list, and yes from 1990 to current he is one of the best!

Re: what was/ who had the most successful stick shift stocke
For a man that doesn't run very much, I would give Randy Shepard recognition.
I have had the opportunity to watch him beat my Dad a few times at Brainerd and also myself atleast once. We don't get a lot of chances to race up here, but Mr. Shepard is not an easy customer in the Orange Pumpkin...

Jim Hughes. Two time world Champ, !983, 1989, with the points system. Many time Divisional Champ. Still wins Vegas Nats about every other time he shows up-ha. The Smartest racer I have ever met. He can tell me what my 330 foot time was on any given run ( well almost). I was very fortunate to have met him the first year I started racing stock.

You can't argue with 3 consecutive World Championships, especially when automatics are the majority!!!
