What about all the the guys that went from SS to Pro Stock in the early days, Grumpy Jenkins, Dick Landy, Don Nicholson, Even Bob Glidden

All of them were pro's on the 4 speed.. Ronnie Sox is my favorite though.

Going with Jimmy Bridges on this one. Over 200 class wins and 50 something world records. Also Robin Brown, and from IHRA Donnie Grant.

I forgot about Dave Wren. Ronny Tripenstet (sp?), Tyler Cassel, Gene Bichlemier, James Lee.

If we spoke only about stock,
Then.........Kevin Helms, any of the Waldo's, John Calvert, Al Keen, Jimmy Wabel, Bobby Warren...all great stick drivers

How about Gene Bichlmeier he has come from the MP days, 55 chevys with stock 3speeds to nowdays a 283 nova with 9000 rpm on the starting line. Get him and Robin Brown or Cassils car on the line together now thats a sound of a small block singing.

Bigshow,,,,,I agree, the Van Cleve Fords put on a great show back in the day. They were one half of my all time favorite rivalry,,the other half being the SS/O '66 Chevy Nova of Jim Parsons and Terry Harmon, another 4 speed car that took on those 427 Fairlanes on a regular basis. In fact, Jim still races that car to this day, untubbed as a stocker, usually as a 275/327. He did very well recently at Topeka, taking a runner up to a new generation Mustang.
