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

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.

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!

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.

No doubt, Jack Mullins.

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

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.
