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.

Came across this hot rod article that I thought some of you might enjoy on
'junior stockers'...there's some neat photos from the old days.

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.

Here are three Oldsmobiles; I have more but have to figure out how to reduce the size for uploading.

OK, here are a few more '60s stockers.

Paul on here knows a lot about the Doc Burgess 'Black Arrow' cars and he's the one that could probably fill you in more about them...the guy is a walking encyclopedia.
