Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

That same page of the book also mentions some other Pontiac class winners from that year. It says that Hayden Proffitt got an OS/S class win at the Nats, running a 12.55, in a Mickey Thompson Pontiac. Not real sure which car that was. But I'll see if I can find out.

Also mentions that Lloyd Cox won the S/SA class. Pretty sure I mentioned this one. I think he also won the class @ the Winter Nats that year. The next year, his wife Carol won the auto class at both races. Haven't seen her named mentioned, in the book, yet.

Although there are no names on the car, in the 1st 2 pics, I think this is Hayden Proffitt & the M/T car he drove at the '61 Indy race. If I'm wrong, somebody can correct it, & post the correct info.

Just thought I'd better mention this again, for those who may not have seen it earlier, or may not know. In the early '60's, these cars were not considered "Super Stock" cars, as we know 'em. A/SA & above, including FX, ran in what was called "Top Stock". Lower classed cars later became known as the "Junior Stock " class. That's why I'm listing these cars in the Stockers thread.
