I'm sure that there are some that have done this longer but how about Leon Miranian. Started racing in 1959 at Manassas Va and Aquasco Md til the next year when 75-80 opened the gates. Was a regular thru the sixties there winning many trophies and stock class and eliminator titles. Has always raced stock and then in about 1970 moved to super stock, his red Corvette has been campaigned since the mid seventies. A many time record holder and has won national opens and divisional events but has not YET won a national event. It's overdue but may soon happen! I met Leon in the very early sixties in the beginning of my announcing career. It's people like him that make our sport great!
