May have asked this before.
Jack Mullins won the US Nats in '75, beating Judy Lilly's Mopar, in the final. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/0212hpp-pontiac-history/ So, was that the first Pontiac SS win, at the US Nats ? Not counting those earlier races, when they were still running Top Stock & Jr. Stock. Has there been another Pontiac win in SS, at the US Nats, since then ? Is there an online source for a list of all Stock & SS US Nats winners ? Most all the winners lists I've found, so far, only list the Pro winners. Don't know why I haven't mentioned it(or maybe I have). But not only did Jack win the Sports Nats & the US Nats in '75, but: "...He won the 1976 Sportsnationals running a 12.51, taking out Steve Bagwell's SS/BA Plymouth. Jack went on to win a divisional points race in Louisiana and another one in Oklahoma City. He was the #1 qualifier at the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown, but redlighted in the final against local hero Bernie Agaman and the "Bayonne Missile" '71 454 Corvette..." That ain't bad for a 2-year run, in a old Pontiac wagon. He took out 2 of the best SS Mopars of that time period, won the Sports Nats back-to-back, & qualified #1 at the Summer Nats, with an RU finish ! ![]() Yep, Jack was one of my Pontiac heroes.
