The Boise divisional was about 3 weeks before the Mission divisional race. Pond ran a 10.229 which, at the time, factored to a 9.90. Joe Aluise ran a few cars behind him and also broke the (factored) 9-second zone. Aluise got the record that weekend (I think at a 9.93?) as he was the first of the two to back up his record run.
