Pretty impressive.

Jimmy has run Super Stock mostly for the 30 or so years I've known him. He has at times made a pass or two in a Stock Eliminator car.

My personal Stick Shift hero has to be my mentor SE Buchanan. Won Div 4 Stock Championship 4 years in a row, 76,77,78,79, with a stick shift Ford before Jerico transmissions.Also won the 78 Sportsnationals and 82 US Nationals.

gosh there was so many great ones, i hate these popularity threads, picking the best is like trying to get 100 SS racers to decide a rule change, going to have 97 different opinions, lol so.........I feel anybody that drove a stick shift car and won was successful. even my own father.

For the time period originally stated I would say Jim Hughes. As for Super Stock Don Wolff did a pretty good job!
