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 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.. Paul |
