9.40 - Leroy Neumayer-Art Chrisman - Feb. 3, 1953 - Santa Ana
(From what we hear, Chrisman's 9.40 was the first nine by anything.
It was a rolling start in an era when elapsed times were seldom recorded.)
8.99 - Waters-Sughrue-Guinn-Tony Waters - Feb. 1, 1959 - Bakersfield
(Waters' blown DeSoto-powered A/Fuel Modified Roadster really was a
roadster by modern Fuel Altered standards. Despite a very small extension
of the frame in front of the grille, this was the McCoy.)

1964 - Fremont
