At the 30th Annual Awards Banquet for Woodburn Dragstrip, we honored Track Champions who had achieved the 5-year and 10-year level of accomplishment. I have added that information to what was previously reported here. Jay Livingston began keeping a record of all the track champions. Jonathan Adams continued recording that information. Elvon has added information for 2006 and 2007. However, we are unsure of the data from the first two years. (1978 & 1979) We have exactly the same information for both years, and we recognize that it is highly unlikely that the exact same drivers repeated as champions in the exact same classes in two consecutive years. Perhaps some of you remember the names of the track champions from 1978 and/or 1979. Any information you could share would be appreciated.
Scroll on down to find the list of drivers with two or more Track Champiohsnips.
