I have the season ending record list from 1962..It does not list any stock records.......the 1962 NHRA Nationals class winners lists stock stick cars down through L/S and automatic cars down through G/SA........it also lists A/FX B/FX C/FX and SS/S S/S SS/SA and S/SA as being in stock eliminator......the fastest of those class winners was Micky Thompson A/FX 12.66 @115.68..........Stock eliminator was won by Hayden Profitt with a SS/S Chevy 12.82 @113.92..........no handicap racing then......everyone heads up with a flagman

NHRA 1st listed Class stock records in 5-1962

The 1st 2 listed were set in Memphis, Tenn , in A/s & E/sa

Later for there names.

Neil, we had handicap racing then. 25' per class. The flag man moved out to the front of the car getting the spot. I believe 250' Max? My '56 wagon (before the N/S sedan ) got the same spot from a D/S as an A/S.
