#8 ALL TIME MOUNTAIN MOTOR PRO STOCK DRIVER – BILLY HUFF
SPARTANBURG, SC – Billy Huff had been exposed to drag racing for much of his life and it showed when he got behind the wheel of a mountain motor Pro Stocker in 1991. As a rookie, he drove like a seasoned veteran.
The son of longtime sportsman racer Sherrill Huff, Billy Huff won a national event in his rookie season of running IHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock in 1991. That was enough to land him in the eighth position in the championship points.
There was no sophomore jinx for Huff as he amassed eight final rounds the next season and recorded an incredible five victories to win the championship by nearly 3,000 points over Doug Kirk.
Huff recorded a second world championship in 1994 before leaving the class after the 1995 season.
Huff finished in the IHRA Pro Stock Top Ten in all five years that he competed.
