Here is a partial quote from a post Skip Fix made on the SS thread.
"...John Schloe...has a 69 Bird in stock that was running RAIV heads(and in the 10s) but for the past 20 years D ports still in the 10s. "
So, let's take a look at some race results & see what we can find. John lives on the West coast. He entered the Winter Nats many times. The DRC files begin with 1998. So, we'll look at the 1998 Winter Nats 1st.
He was entered, but at that time just barely ran under his index.

The 1st Winter Nats(hereafter called WN) where he broke into the 10's, was in 2002, with a 10.94.
