Lower Class Stockers

Neil Smedley won the Las Vegas sping race in Q/SA or P/SA a few years ago. I had a good time watching him take out some real hitters along the way.

nothing like spotting one of those cars 8 seconds on the tree at a combo race ... 8 seconds seems like 8 minutes.

Have you ever heard of Larry Hodge, Jody Lang have Won Nationals...Jody, was National Champ in Stock a couple of times...I think he runs high 12's in bracket mode.. But, Mark is the only one in front-wheel drive..... I am sure there are others with slow cars that have Won...Don't forget fast Eddy in the AMC, I know he's won Div. races in both NHRA & IHRA...

Sal Biondo won quite a few races with his J/SA 77 Firebird, which he still owns, but, doesn't compete with much anymore. He ran low 12's, for the most part, and not too many drivers would want him, in that car, in the other lane. Bob Mullany won Div. 1 with a 66 Belair wagon R/SA entry. Jim Harrington drives a low 12 sec. K/SA Camaro, and he wins plenty!

It wasn't a Stocker but Bob Mullaney beat up on the footbrake class regularly in N.J. a number of years ago with his $1 Nova. I don't recall the et's it ran but it was very slow. Bob can drive and win with slow or fast cars......I used to watch him turn win lights on with that $1 Nova over and over again......He has won many times in lots of cars.....fast or slow....they don't call him "Bucks" for nothin......

I believe Tommy Mattingly III won the div. 3 title in a 65 Chevelle wagon O or P/sa a year or two ago.

Bill O' conner thing that's how you spell it won Div 7 points race in the 90's in omni.

I may be considered a LOW Class Stocker, no matter what I drove. LOL!!!

Thanks Dave for enhancing my record but I've only got 1 Div. win.Atco in 2006 and 2 r/u at MIR in2007 (IHRA).I'll try to equal your expectations though.Getting a win with a slow car is daunting to say the least.
I usuaaly am decent at the tree (worst light last year was a .077).My anxiety is at the stripe (covering dial and or taking too much).
