Junior Stockers

Haven't found a lot of pics of '59 Pontiac Stockers.

But apparently, the '60 models were quite popular, with racers.

I suppose the 1st really popular '60 model was the one that Jim Wangers drove to the win a the 1960 Nats. He won the title "Mr. Stock Eliminator". The pic of him driving the "Hot Chief #1" against another '60 Pontiac @ the '60 Nats is probably one of the most famous Pontiac drag racing pics, ever.

Ronnie Broadhead did real good with a '60 model.

And, there were quite a few others that got class & event wins, & set records.

The over the counter 389SD & 421SD parts really pepped up the Pontiacs of the early '60's. NHRA eventually outlawed some of these parts, on certain models.
