It didn't seem that long ago that I believe it was Lee Haney that just got those cars in the 10.99. If I remember right, the 302 was the first 10 second stocker small block? Am I wrong?

Good question Jim!

They do run D and E stock so maybe just because of the higher class than the 350's run.

It was Kent Hanley, and yes it was the first SB in the 10.s. I called CHP to verify.

Kent Hanley now runs a GT/BA Cavalier?? I noticed he had a LT-1 motor in it last weekend. 350/360 with a Holley. NHRA factors those LT-1's pretty easy.

I remember when he first nailed it the tech man disqualified him. He was running his valve piston clearance too close and bent a valve and somehow they said he was illegal on the camshaft. I think he got it 6 months later. It was a big deal then because it was a 302 not a larger cubed small block. I need to get into the Super Stock mags and see if I can find the article.

Just got off the phone with Macneish, he just set a new NHRA D/Stock world record with his Z28 Camaro. Atco Points race. 10.45 at 126.21 mph. That is stout. They went through tear down today. They now have the bragging rights as the fastest stock Z28 on the country.

We just got our engine back from him and it flies. Congrats to the boys at CHP.

I will see him Sunday. I knew he was going to run fast but that is flying, especially the MPH.

I was at Atco yesterday to see the stockers and super stockers. The weather turned out to be not so good for great performances. I got to see Jerry Mc Niesh make his record runs. Man that is one mean 302, 126+ mph that has some stones. With four foot wheelies thrown in for fun. on the other end of the spectrum. The big station wagon of Bob Bender went 12.55.
