Re: What is the correct description of a 60's Jr. stocker.
 

Whats in a "Name" . With all of the short shifting , sliding the brakes and tires, pulled back timing, under rated HP factors and dumping at around 1000 ft to save your combo it should be called Bracket One or S/Pro......I bet that will "tune up" some on here.....LOL.

I'm evidently too wet behind the ears to have been commenting on this, as 1967 was my first year traveling to WCS races. 1968 was my first national event, Pomona. Sorry, I'll shut up.

Not so, Ed. You probably remember a bunch more than most of us. I think the confusion comes from there being no formal definition. The way NHRA used it in the early '60s is different than what I remember on the East coast and mid-South in the late '60s. I remember the name "Jr. Stock" referring to lower class cars that were not factory hot rods and were more affordable than new(er) high horsepower cars.

X-Tech,
Your probably right. It's just a name. Not really a technical answer.
10 people would give 10 different answers.
And each year, with new cars produced, Junior Stock would change, along with the NHRA weight breaks and HP re-factoring:eek:.
The 1966 NHRA rule book at least stated something,
B/Stock thru O/Stock, and B/SA thru G/SA. "Jr. Stock Eliminator".
A True Junior Stocker "Assembly line produced and showroom sales available"
In 1967 (3 of the 4) of the Stock Eliminator National Event Champions were older cars (Jr. Stockers)
Winternationals * 60 Pontiac G/SA
Springnationals * 58' Pontiac E/SA
