The Curved Dash Oldsmobile, which debuted in 1901, was sold for $650. Oldsmobile manufactured 425 of them that year.

In what year did the NHRA introduce the Pro Stock class AND who won the final in the very first running of this class??

for some reason I thought it was grumpy jenkins, my bad, he was beaten by ronnie sox...

I was right, it was grumpy...

Jenkins, though, showed the mastery of the class that would reward him well throughout the decade and opened Sunday’s first round with a 9.98, low e.t. of the meet, then roared through the field to face Ronnie Sox in the final.

Jenkins was the only driver to dip into the nines, wheeling to three sub-10-second runs in eliminations. He sandwiched a pair of 9.98s around an early-shutoff 10.26 in respective victories against Bill Hielscher, Mike Fons, and a red-lighting Dick Landy. In the final, Jenkins left first and never looked back, running 9.99, 139.53 (top speed of the meet) against Sox’s 10.12.
