First small block stick in the 10's, to my knowledge, was Kent Hanley in the early 1990's at the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove, as a D/S or E/S '67 Camaro 302.

First small block, automatic Stocker in the 10's, Mike Walter's F/SA Camaro 327, Atco NJ, April 1999.

Were the LT-1 firebirds before Walter?

Yeah, I think you're right. Mike may have been the first carbureted small block automatic in the 10's.

I know the 302 car was the first smallblock period to do it. I had the first sb auto car to do it at the 95 winternationals. I went 10.99 in E/SA with my 71 Duster 340. Within a few hundreths was also Gene Buell and Linda Myers,both with E/SA 340 cars.I believe Woodro Josey did it a few months later also. Ken Etter

I believe I was the 1st small block stocker in the 10's. I went a few 90s in the fall of 1990 then went as quick as a 10.86 at 122.5 in the spring of 91 ( as per an old National Dragster of April 11,1991). Hopes this helps I was running D/S with my 67 302 Z-28 Camaro

I remember well when you ran the first 10's

Under todays rules, you could have put that car in C and done it many years sooner im sure.

I think the Stockers have came along way, since the real true Stock classes from the 60's, with 7" slicks and limited sized header-collectors, with complete exhaust system attached.
1966 records for you Rocket Launchers in Stock Class.
A/S.. record holder,,Bill Jenkins,,11.66 (66 Chevy II, 327/350hp)
A/S.. MPH record holder, Bill Stiles,,123.96 (66' Plymouth 426/425 Hemi
..The E/S record was 12.99,,,So slow, compared to todays missles,
kind of like watching grass grow..
