It is legal check the stock car classification class guide.

Joe Martens laid down a nine second pass in his 69 A/S car at Norwalk.

The GMPP 401 aluminum head is the replacement for the cast iron closed chamber rectangle port heads of that era. There is a HP penalty on the factor for them. They started out at 10HP above the original cast iron head several years ago. So, yes, they are legal, and found both in the classification guide and the blueprint guide.

I believe that when John and Jimmy ran in the final they were in aa/sa

You are correct Dave.

Went three nine second runs in a row a few years back in Bob Gipsons 65 vette
Closer to AA/S weight. It was the alum head version then.

If memory serves correctly, didn't Bob DeArmond run the first unfactored 9 second run at Mission in 2001? Lots of hype waiting for the first Stocker in the 9's, not so much the 8's. Tony Tosto B/S 3050.

Party Pooper!!

Quickest runs to date by my unofficial stats:

AA/S Steve Ficacci 9.71
AA/SA Jimmy DeFrank 9.73
A/S Steve Ficacci 9.88
A/SA Dave Ficacci 9.90
B/S ?
B/SA Jim Boudreau 10.02

I think Jimmy D, Karl Martel and I are the only ones in the 9s with an automatic.
A handful have done it with a stick.
Look for most of those numbers to be lower next year.
