Lets bring this thread back from the dead and give the old guys something to remember.
Here are some of the BEST drivers/rigs I remember (92-95 era, yes older than 20 years, but these guys made it happen with a lot less than they do today IMHO) .
I grew up around all these guys and I can tell you they are legends/pioneers in this sport.
You could find most of these guys at legendary "Ditch" in Port Allen, LA on any given weekend.
#1 hands down is Bob Kottman. "The Missouri Missile" HST Hydrostream / Yamaha (THE KING)
The rest in no particular order:
Mike Watts' Super Stock / 1400 Modified JSRE 2.5 Allison / V King
Stan Fittz's 1400lb/1600lb Modified JSRE 2.5 Allison
Jay Smith's 1400lb Modified JSRE 2.5 Mirage Polecats
Scotty Graham's 1400lb Modified / V6 Comp STV / Mirage Wildcats 2.5 by Roberie
Richard Hammontree's V6 Comp Tiger Mirage Wildcat (First Mercury 2.5 injected on alcohol built/fabricated by JSRE in 1993)
Kevin Mumford's V6 Comp 2.5 Allisons
Willie Atwood's V6 Comp JSRE 2.5 Alcohol Mirage Wildcat
Tommy Hughes' V6 Comp Alcohol 2.5 by JSRE Allison
David Pou's V6 Comp Yellow Allison w/ Kottman 2.5
Key Puckett's Super Stock / 1400 Modified / V6 Comp JSRE 2.5 Allisons
Ivan Watson's 1400lb Modified Allison / Kottman Yamaha
Steve Tillman's V6 Comp Mirage Jaguar / Allison GForce 2.5
Bubba Ellisor in Dwayne Roberie's V6 Comp Yellow Mirage Wildcat
Roy Cullen's Unlimited MIrage Wildcat "Duck Vader" Alex Hledin 2.5
RP Breaux's V4 Comp Mirage Cheetah / Kottman Yamaha
Phillip Bond's Super Stock Allison 2.5
Todd Roberts' V6 Comp Allison - Junior Eaves 2.5
Jay & Chuck Manuel's V6 Comp STV 2.5
Charles Hoven's 1400 Modified Mirage Jaguar 2.5 by Junior Eaves
Joe Searcy / Johnny Wade's 1400lb Modified STV Diamond 2.5
Dewayne Carlock's Unlimited STV - Roberie N2O 2.5
John Heurtevant's Unlimited STV Roberie N2O 2.5
Just a few of the guys / rigs that stood out back then. ANY of these guys could win in a 35+ boat field.Last edited by Jayme_Z28; 02-04-2020 at 06:55 PM.

Setups and prop work have gotten better. Not sure what you mean by unregulated fuel. ODBA and DSRA still run Sunoco 112 as their spec fuel. Only class that runs unregulated fuel is Pro Drag and extremely light weights combined with exotic fuels are the reason that class is so quick
