Remember Junior/Stock?
For those old enough to remember, I've added a file containing Junior/Stock photos from the late 60's. Please chime in if you have any Jr/Stock memories. ................ http://members.fotki.com/Colesy/about/

Maybe Bob Rice will see this. Bob has pictures of many early cars. Seems to know just about everybody.

Wow!! Awesome stuff!! Sadly, I think some of that 'spirit' pictured there is missing from 'todays' class racing!

Re: Remember Junior/Stock?
I was there, and can I.D. many of the cars pictured just from the paint layout. I was hoping to see a picture of our sedan delivery as many of the pictures are from my area. There were so many 55-57 Chevy's everywhere and sedan deliveries popped up all over the country. I liked Pontiacs....'57's and '58's especially. I had a '58 Pontiac as a street car and we also had a '58 Pontiac wagon for a tow car. I raced my '58 a ferw times the same day I towed our sedan delivery to the track.....won some trophy's and a few bucks. A 13 second car was pretty fast back then. 12's or faster was really a strong car no matter what it was.

Re: Remember Junior/Stock?
Great photos. When and why were the pre 60 cars eliminated from stock? The early cars would be a blast to see compete.
