Back in 1972 the SS/GA record was 11.43 and I won the Miami Open with an 11.24. I raced at Pomona and won class short shifting and shutting off early. During time trials I ran 11.28 shutting off early. First round of eliminations I broke out running 11.327 on the brakes back than you were allowed .10 under until the final and there was no break out. NHRA changed the record to an 11.35 minimum.
