Mike Boyles " Good ole Charlie Brown" 57 Chevy should be # 1 on the list..
and he is still running Superstock today and with a stick to boot....
That's my vote and sticking to it.....

For me,ANY station wagon class car is all star! I`ve alway admired `em. My favorite SSer right now is Gregg Luneack`s. Always loved the Nova wagons! Al Corda`s big old Mopar is pretty cool too!

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Randall Klein's '56 Nomad get's my vote.

Got to agree with Danny. Mike and The Charlie Brown wagon have been a deadly combination for 30+ years. Mike has worn the big 1 on the wagon multiple times as the IHRA SS Champ. Check out the awesome video someone posted on you tube of Mike at Bristol. Do a you tube search for "Mike Boyles 57 Chevy Wagon". Mike is a friend to all, and the high winding 4 speed wagon is a big crowd pleaser too! Gotta love them wagons! Don Jackson

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Must be Mike Boyle because he is still racing his GOOD OLD CHARLIE BROWN 57 Chevrolet Wagon and has been for 30 + years. Also do you guys remember Randall Campbell's 6 cylinder Nova Wagon? Randall won quite a few IHRA races with his wagon and I think he was IHRA world champion at one time. The last time I talked to Randall he told me that he still had the Wagon.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

This weekend it's got to be Troy Olsonawski's '66 SS/MA Malibu wagon at the Jeg's All Stars. 283 cubic inches of wagon power, baby! Rev it up and let 'er rip!

Let us not forget the 1963 Pontiac station wagon of Jack Mullins from Helena, Arkansas. Jack's SS/U 4-speed wagon was the thorn in NHRA's side when they switched over to index racing with no breakout in the mid-70's. That type racing only lasted 2 years thanks to racers like Jack. He knew how to play the game and only ran fast enough to keep ahead of his index. Finally NHRA gave up, changed back to a breakout and Stock/SS racing was saved from extinction.

Honorable mention is Amy Faulk's butterfly '65 Chevelle.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Way too many good wagons to pick just one.

War Wagon ,Behemouth ,Tons o' Fun, Vista Bruiser, Hydro Phobia,[ok it was a Sedan Delivery] were some of my faves.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

No doubt, Jack Mullins.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Where's Tucker Parrish??? I think he drove Ronnie's wagon at a couple of events.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

My first thought was Jack Mullins and then Mike Boyles came to mind but I have to agree with Tom Goldman. There are just too many good ones to pick from. Here in D1 back in the early and mid 70's we had Frank Thompson with a SS/PA 69 Chevelle wagon that terrorized everyone weekly. The car was part of the Skip Asay deal and was a killer.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Ronny Traffanstedt ran at my home track in N. Georgia a lot in the seventies. I saw him win a $1000 bracket race with that wagon at "Green Valley", Gadsden, Alabama around 1980. He was the only stick car in the field.

I'm partial to the "Lead Zepplin" '66 Hemi Satellite SS/FA station wagon.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

It was Modified but what about Fulton's white wagon. Thhat car single handed built the FULTON dynasty.

Ed Mcglawhorn ( Mr Ed )had a few wagon superstockers back in the day. still has a couple on hand now,...

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Tom , Most of these were not ever Super Stockers, as far as I know.

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Around 40 years have passed since this happened but I am 99% sure it was Ronnie Traffanstedt in his wagon. In the 70's we ran a one day points meet at Blaney Dragstrip in SC. Not allowed to race on sunday so it was all done in one day. This was when we ran from Top Fuel on down at points meets. I was working the scales and fuel check during eliminations and Ronnie was going rounds. Think this was when we ran off the records so any advantage was big. Around the qfinals Ronnie asked if we were tearing down winners and runner up or just winner. I said likely just winners because it was getting late. After he won the semis he asked again. Same answer. He then told me the other car in the final was big in the motor but he woudnt win so he didn't have to tear down. Ronnie said he would prove the other car was cheating by leaving in 3rd, going back to 1st and the other car would not pass him. Sure enough the other car didn't pass Ronnie and was really shocked when he came by the scales and was told we were tearing down winner and runner-up. First the RU said okay then argued about it. Buster finally gor involved and the RU never did tear down so he was banned for 1 year.

x2 Hawk on Gregg's Wagon, and sorry Scott for no pictures of it, but since it's still racing, Auto Imagery would probably have current/recent photos of it...oh and by the way, I'll give a hoot for Ed Wise's former '65 Chevelle wagon that used to terrorize D5 back in the 70's & 80's, and got new life as a pro et bracket car in the 90's and 00's! It was navy blue with a white top, and I believe it ran SS/MA when Eddie had it. If I recall correctly Val Hedworth, Marv Ripes, and Herman Chapman had something to do with why it was one of the best wagon racers D5 had....:)

The End.

The "Class of 65" wagon now campaigned by the Koopmans is a pretty darn cool stocker but Boyles car has been so active for so long it's hard to not give it the nod. Boyles even ran the 11.90 class during the Billy Myers IHRA era.

Come on Rev! Get the 65 back out!!!

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

In today's sportsman racing, it would have been Super Stock. Back then, it was Modified -- the only Wagon I know of, which won multiple world championships in the class. Gene Fulton's white wagon.

How about Div 1 standout Joe Kenney SS /NA , WON 3 National events in a row in one year ....

Re: Best Super Stock Station Wagon/All Time?
 

Yep, the brain starts to fizzle after a long weekend of racing !
The Vista Bruiser saw SS action ,but the rest were Stockers but were sure tops in their day.
They still were some of the more exciting cars to watch, especially Tons o Fun,
The 3 foot high chassis twist wheelies were amazing for a car that size !
