Lets here some stories of any old stockers, super-stockers or modifieds that you may have from various dragstrips across the country from the 60's & 70's...also post any old photo's if you have anything.

Junior Stockers,,,,,,,,,,

Always related that to the 55 thru 57 Chevy's,,,,as they were everywhere.

Anything with an 11.00 Weight-to-Horsepower factor and above.

In 1967, Car Life Magazine stated that a Junior Stocker was
D/S and above, and could be a car driven to the dragstrip.

Further stating that A/S was the new 'Top Stock',
B/S and C/S was for 'the Detroit factory street-type musclecars', ie; GTO, 4-4-2 and GTX.
