I'm sure someone will correct me,, but at the '70 Winternationals,, the first Pro Stock show at a NHRA national event, Bill Jenkins' Camaro went I believe, a 9.98, while Sox and everyone else was still in the 10s,,, as far as 8s go,, Glidden was in his prime, so maybe he did it, and if I recall correctly, the first 7 came after the rules change, to the current setup, 500 c.i. at 2300lbs?,, and I think Frank Iaconio was the first. I'm just going off the top of my head, no research attempted. I'm sure theres a list somewhere.
