So, exactly what was the difference between classes like S/S, OS/S, & A or B/FX. Can anybody here explain the rules for all those classes ?
Here's the best explanation I've read, so far.
"...The factory drag wars were just heating up in 1961, and for the Nationals, the NHRA introduced the Optional Super/Stock (OS/S) class for cars using special factory components that were not yet factory equipment...In 1962, OS/S became the Factory Experimental (FX) category..."
For Pontiac, I suppose those "special factory components" would have been 421SD parts, which were not an option on the body being raced.
