In 1970.....Lebruns A/S'er ran around 11.40 at maybe 120 on 7" tires....at a stocker event at Island....We raced him with our H/S Chevy II and my driver fouled and both cars went .05 under the record. It's a vivid memory as I was standing right behind the starting line and it was 3rd or 4th rd....
I am just not sure whether his car was a Camaro or Corvette....just to long ago.....and he had numerous cars over the years.... I don't know if they ever ran in the 10's but it's possible. Pistons and rings were less restrictive on the rules than the later version of stock.. Regrind cams were widely used... Highly likely people were getting very creative even though getting caught was WAY more likely back then....

Today he would run close to a second faster. Better tires, track surface, suspension, low drag rings, converters. IHRA allowing a very small wag on the springs. |

I agree with the idea of a cheap entry point.
The old Stock rules were good at the time but with the many, many motors and cars now you want to include it would be impossible with rated HP figures. I suggest trying to start a basic LB/cubic inch like MOD. Eliminates factoring, dial ins, break outs unless there are multiple classes. Levels the field day one with no bogus hp winners. |

LeBrun's Corvette ran 10.94 or 5 at Gainesville in 1971. Mark Mazzotta at the controls. On the Q sheet from back then.
Yes ,I know it was a 7 lb A/Stocker and of Jim Waldo's milestone with a modern Stocker. Junior Stock ended at OMS ,November , 1971. Paul Pappy Dilcher won the last Jr Stock race ever. Back to the subject at hand in a few..

Didn't Tony Pizzi's 427 '69 Camaro run 10.99 as a B/S car at U.S.30? I remember an article on that car in SS&DI with a picture of the time slip. That was '70 or '71.
