I think he ran 11.50’s maybe 60’s
He set the record in B that year at an 11.31
Is there ANY source to find all/any of those old nat records & class win records ?
Old National Dragsters is you best bet.

Thanks for all that info Todd !
Yeah, I wish I had access to the old ND papers. I had a few years worth, back in the '70's. But, having no foresight, I threw 'em all away. Most young folks don't realize what may be important to 'em later in life.
So 11.31 was the B/S record in '77. A B/S record of 10.05, was set in 2017. So that means that the quick B-Stockers can now run 9's. I assume those would be some of the higher hp BBC cars, & maybe some late models. Looks like this record was held by a 2000 model Bird.

No B/S Pontiacs running now. I suppose one of the RAIV cars would be the only Pontiac that could make B/S. C is the highest class I've seen one of the RAII Birds in, in recent years.
I thought that 11.31 sounded familiar. That same year, H-O set the SS/KA record at 11.31.
