Randall Campbell has won many, many IHRA nationals in his Y/SA Chevy II Wagon. I'm sure he holds the title to the most national event wins at Bristol. He used to say he drove faster in his tow car to the races than he did at the track!

It was Larry and not Chris that won a NHRA National event in the truck. He won Atlanta and was the 1st pick-up truck to win a National event and still the only truck to win a National NHRA event.

Mike Smith won the 1981 Summer Nationals at Englishtown At 14:91
also 1984 Southern Nationals at Atlanta at 14:99
Finished # 5 in NHRA World Champoniship Points
U/SA 1965 Ply Wagon 273
This is the same car that Clayton Wright has Now.
I think Mike Smith was the most sucesfull of the low class racer in that time period.

Yacavone is, indeed, the only FWD NHRA National Event winner. I believe the first IHRA FWD winner was Ed O'Riley at Darlington '77; he's still the only human ever to win a National Event in a rental car.

My National Open wins don't count for much and I've never entered a National Event.

Randall Campell has many wins in low class stockers as Bill said I think it was 1991 he won IHRA world championship with Y/SA chevy II, 87&88 Mt. Park track championships,Doorslammer Nationals @ ohio valley late 80's again in o-n/sa Malibu wagon maybe 2-3 years ago, also got to eight@US nat's.few years
ago in Bear's aka Jonathon Tarrence's V/SA monte carlo. Also mention low class stockers should mention ,the late, JT Allen.

Zac Ross dominated to win the IHRA Div. 3 Championship in a 273 Coronet Wagon... and I think he was just 16 at the time!

Jeff Ross that started this thread isn't he Zac's Dad?And yes he was 16.

Certainly most of you remember that Tom Redier won Stock at Indy '76 with his X/S Pinto wagon. However, arguably the most brutal of all the "little cars", (at least from the perspective of being more than capable of winning a National Event for more than a two-year stretch), was George Williams' Z/S Vega panel wagon.
