I'm sure Scott's .35 has been bettered by someone or himself. Nitro Joe, can you help? I'll see my buddy next weekend at breakfast,,,, thanks for any info.

Pretty sure Scott has run a tenth quicker or better, Nat's, Div's
Maybe 2 years ago?

Are there any Ram Air IV GTO's running?
My favorite all time car.

I would think that's a good possibility.

This might help. In the January 2013 issue of High Performance Pontiac there is a 5 page article on Scott's Firebird. In the article it states that he has run a best of 10.17 at 128 m.p.h with a 60 ft. of 1.292. According to the article, I believe he was at "B" weight. I have met Scott and his son Brad and found both of them to be great guys and very accomplished racers. Brad was N.H.R.A. Stock champ twice.

For comparison, I believe Leo Glasbrenner has been in the 10.30's in C. I don't think his 68 will get any lighter than that, I could be wrong.

In Super Stock I believe Bill Rink's '74 G.T.O. has been in the 10.50's in SS/LA. Again I could be wrong.

Would love to hear if either of these last 2 cars have been quicker.

Don't think Scott has had the opportunity to run in mineshaft conditions either....pretty impressive indeed.
