Re: What is the correct description of a 60's Jr. stocker.
I'm evidently too wet behind the ears to have been commenting on this, as 1967 was my first year traveling to WCS races. 1968 was my first national event, Pomona. Sorry, I'll shut up.

Re: What is the correct description of a 60's Jr. stocker.
Not so, Ed. You probably remember a bunch more than most of us. I think the confusion comes from there being no formal definition. The way NHRA used it in the early '60s is different than what I remember on the East coast and mid-South in the late '60s. I remember the name "Jr. Stock" referring to lower class cars that were not factory hot rods and were more affordable than new(er) high horsepower cars.

Re: What is the correct description of a 60's Jr. stocker.
X-Tech,
Your probably right. It's just a name. Not really a technical answer. 10 people would give 10 different answers. And each year, with new cars produced, Junior Stock would change, along with the NHRA weight breaks and HP re-factoring. The 1966 NHRA rule book at least stated something, B/Stock thru O/Stock, and B/SA thru G/SA. "Jr. Stock Eliminator". A True Junior Stocker "Assembly line produced and showroom sales available" In 1967 (3 of the 4) of the Stock Eliminator National Event Champions were older cars (Jr. Stockers) Winternationals * 60 Pontiac G/SA Springnationals * 58' Pontiac E/SA Wolrd Finals * 56 Chevy Wagon pc Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 07-07-2010 at 08:57 AM. |
