Best Super Stock Racer Of All Time! - Page 7

Geerhead55 · 06-26-2007, 10:05 PM

I'm "up here" in Div.6 also,,not sure what thin air you're in, in Seattle. Maybe Queen Anne hill LOL! Anyhow down here in Tacoma at sea level, I can remember many very good Superstock racers from this division over the years like Dave Wren (for the Mopars) Jim Van Cleve Sr. and Jr. (for the Fords) and two of my favorite Chevy teams were the 66 Nova of Jim Parsons and Terry Harmon and the Han**** and Lane cars. Jim Waldo was a record setting SS racer before he and his sons got into Stock. Just a few of my picks from back in the day up here in the great NW. Now a days you have to give a nod to Jody Lang for the success hes' had on a national scale.
My 2 cents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Danny Durham

Not sure what happened to the name I was typing. I know I typed it correctly so what gives Administrator? I want to give credit where credit is due. I'm talking about the Han**** and Lane Superstock team from the NW in the 70s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Thank you. Danny Durham

Well you did it again,,, I guess censorship reigns supreme on this sight when you're not allowed to spell a man's name correctly.
Whats up with this? Danny Durham

I`m kinda leanin` toward Val Hedworth

Div 6 Fan,

"Jeff Lane" and "Less Money" are not words I would have necessarily put together in my head-LOL.

He is a good racer, and his stuff is top notch. The new car will be beautiful, just as his past cars have been, I'm sure.

He certainly sits as one of the Div 6 heavy hitters-in whatever class he runs.

Mr Goss, I certianly did not want to give the impression that Jeff lane did not spend money. What I really wanted to emphasize is that what Jeff Lane does (consistantly finished in the top 10 in the nation in every class that he runs), he does so without the advantages that many other drivers have.
A few examples would be:
1. Jeff does not work in the automotive or racing industry and thus does not benifit from the R&D or the feedback from clients (Peter Biondo).
2. He is able to accomplish what he accomplishes without a sponsor (Jerry Emmons, Dan Fletcher).
3. He does not have a teammate to share data with (DeFrank Brothers).
4. He does not tour the country attending 20 races a year that would allow him to act as a "blocker" in other divisions (Dan Fletcher, Jerry Emmons).
Without the benefit of any of the above mentioned items Jeff Lane is consistantly at or near the top in his division and in the top 10 in the nation of the all of the classes that he runs whether it be Stock, SS or Comp. He is a multiple National Event and Jeg's All Star winner. He does this with an all volunteer team on a limited budget. He works out of a steel building next to his house in a very small town in Washington (not exactly the racing hub of the nation). A talented driver that runs a limited schedule on a limited budget with an all volunteer team and consistantly runs with or beats the top "semi-professional" teams in the nation.
I am not old enough to have seen many of the drivers mentioned in the other posts and I am certian that if they are mentioned that you better believe that they are worthy of the praise that they have been given. There are many excellent shoes in the sportman ranks that go without the praise that they deserve. I am just sticking up for the little guy in lowly Division 6.
By the way, if any of you ever see him in the pits do not be afraid to walk up to him and say hello. You will not meet a nicer, smarter more generous guy. Wow, I sound like the president of the Jeff Lane Fan Club. I should be getting paid for this.

Jeff is a good racer, but no way is he low budget

Compared to Jeff Lane guys like Mark Faul and Jody Lang are way more low buck. They win just as many races and finish in the top ten just as often. Their money spent to money won ratio is probably a lot better. Guys like Randall Kline, Jody Lang, Tibor Kidar and a lot more are low budget racers.

Since when is Comp low budget?

But i'd have to say Biondo, Bertozzi, Fletcher and Taylor. But i'm young.

Even though I never got to see him drive, I'd have to vote for Ray Allen based on everything I've heard from my father.
