Re: Give me a G!
Sue,
How could you forget our el presidente, Tom Knorr? Doug Gutekunst, Jim Irons, Charlie Beidler, George and Daphne Heide, Glenn Snavely, Harry McMasters.
I am sure that Whitely is number 1 followed by Gutekunst. I never did understand why SCCA dropped the class, back in the day it was one of the largest classes, certainly bigger than HP. Ron, I hope that you do a top 10 on this one!

Re: Give me a G!
The list off my results sheets, in ascending order, is: Ira Van Scyoc, Rich Walters, James Irons, Dave Arron, Fred Heistand, Robert Schmoyer, Barney Weber, Joe Whitely, and Carl Mugford. I have 23 other drivers who won at least once. It wasn't because they could only catch a hill with an empty class once or twice. It's because for years the class would have 10 or twelve entries, half of whom were former class winners and/or record holders. If you counted future winners too, it would be almost the whole class. Just for fun you could throw in Doug Gutekunst, Henry Mearig, Chuck Callis, and Glenn Snavely.

Re: Give me a G!
It is Ironic that these two gents are tied at #5. They were the ones to beat in the early 60's.....first up; Charlie Beidler, GP champ for 1961 & 1962
