I did a quick search and :
The first 8 second Pro Stock was a 1973 Duster ( Ronald Lyles ?? ) Not sure what year that happened tho. Maybe a stats guy can chime in. Wow....from 8 second Pro Stocks to 8 second Stockers in less than 40 years.

A couple important points not to be missed
Don has consistantly run fast and done it with a stick in the car. He doesn't hold back , give the guy Lots of credit for that, I suspect if he ran that car with an automatic flat out all the time like he does, his fellow competitors would have his picture on a dart board in their trailers. It is a true testament to his hard work that he kept the car stuck all the way down the track. 8.90's on a 9 inch tire is very impressive. In respect to the previous barrier brakers, Bobby DeArmond and Jim Waldo, they did it in A/SA and A/S which are 8 lbs weight breaks, which at the time were the fastest classes in stock. Don is in AA/S which is a 6.5lb weight break, if Don could run A/S he would need to weigh 700+ lbs more than he does in AA/S I mean no disrespect to Don, his accomplishment is more than noteworthy, and we need more racers like him. I hope he gets some "first in the eights" tee shirts made, I'll take one
