George Williams won the Gators in 1980 with his "Swampy's Toy" Vega in X or Z stock

I dont think it was George Williams driving "Swampys Toy". It was some guy named Phillip MARSH....Thats the play on the name Swampys Toy. Swampys Toy was a 2 dr. Vega painted like Da Grumps car and Williams car was a panel wagon. George did win the Sports Nats. in Bowling Green, Ky (I think). Someone help out here.

Then George owes us a lot of money LOL Cause if he wasn't there we won. LOL We were runner up to him in 1980 at the Gators.We redlighted. I'm pretty sure it was called Swampys Toy it was a black Vega panel wagon.

Yes he won the Gators but the car name was somthing else. I remember seeing Swampys Toy at English Town and Grump was having his picture taken with the car and that MARSH guy who owned it. It was red on the side and white on the top like Grumpys car at that time. I will dig for the magazine that shows the picture. Georges car was white at one time before you guys ran him at the Gators. Let you know when I find it. P.S. I remember teching you guys in at English Town in 1974 or 75 when you had the Charger and I worked for NHRA..

Let's not forget our friend , intrepid track reporter Big Larry Hill, who won the Southernationals a few years back with his V6 pickup truck.

Mark - I would venture to guess that you won a National Event with the slowest ET!
