Larry Lombardo drove the Corvette "Buckshot" and won at Indy with it as a teenager around '68. He built an H/S Chevy II that he called "Buckshot II" that was just like what I had and won with that as well. He won 2 points races in 1970 here in Div.1 , I think...... Jenkins must have been impressed with his ability to drive a stickshift. He was good........I watched him in the Chevy II win the Maple Grove points race and he turned some great times.....

...and then, there was the first Stock racer to win the U.S. Nationals AND the Winternationals at a time when there were only two or three national events per year. He drove a 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury that ran C/SA. Flat towing to Indy from Los Angeles was a challenge all in itself. Dave Kempton was hitting home runs while Junior Stock was still only a gleam in someone else's eye.

I'd have to stick with Bobby Warren. Really enjoyed seeing him out at Orlando a couple of years ago with a stick stocker. He went several rounds smoothly driving through some huge wheelstands. That was an absolute treat - watching one of the all-time greatest SS/S racers at work!

Also had a favorite from So, Fla - "the mean one"; Dempsey Hardy's "Crocagator" Studebaker. I remembered watching him beat Jack Troxell in a final at Miami-Hollywood many years ago. Really like a lot of the choices that others have made too - Cureton, Waibel, Lombardo and others.

My old partner Ray (Tex) Cook. RIP In 1979 he won 3 National events. And in 1980 was in 3 more national event finals. In 1980 he won the W.R. Grace Cup. the only stocker ever to do that
