what was/ who had the most successful stick shift stocker

[Ron Ortiz]

There is a lot of really good ones out there, as have been posted.

It all depends on what you are gauging as the qualifications.

People I remember reading about was like Ronnie Sox. But we are talking about true Stockers campaigned on a regular basis.

Kevin Helms has won three championships. SE, Hughes, Truman, Calvert, Waldo, Keen, Broadbent, Bednaz, the list goes on.

It used to be the TRW All Stars where the best came together, as it still does with the Jegs All Stars. Alan Peters reign on Stock is quite impressive.

But it's just a stick shift, put one foot down, move hand, lift foot.
