It looks like the term Junior Stocker changed from year-to-year.
1966 D/Stock and up
1967 C/Stock and up
1968 F/Stock and up.
1969 G/Stock and up
1970 H/Stock and up
Seems like a 67' 302 Z-28 doesn't fit the bill as a Junior Stocker.but a 67' 327/275HP Camaro would.

We all ran together, so I'm not sure about those break points. At the time I think most considered Jr Stock as non-super Stock. That's how I remember it, but I'm old.

Ed,
I think the last race that NHRA designated for Jr. Stock was the
66' World Finals.
In 63' it was at the Winternationals and Nationals.
In 64' only at the Nationals
In 65' All four major events had Jr. Stock Champion.
In 66' All four major events had it.
In 1967, it was changed to Stock Champion.
By all rights, in 1968 NHRA should have had a Top Stock class.
Classes A/S thru D/S (8.00-9.99 wt/hp), including AA/S
(7.50-7.99 wt/hp) for the Street Hemi, the very lightweight 62' Dodge/Plymouth 413/420HP, 63' Dodge/Plymouth 426/425HP and 64' Dodge/Plymouth 426/425HP steel body cars.
The 63' Dodge/Plymouth 426/415HP and 64' Dodge/Plymouth 426/415HP steel body cars in A/S.
* All Mopar aluminum cars should have been in Super/Stock only.
1966 327/350HP Chevy II Nova SS in B/S, along with the 66'/67' Chevelle 396/375HP cars
The Vette's should have been classed; 68' Vette with the 427/400HP in A/S, 67' Vette 427/400HP in A/S, 66' Vette 427/390HP in A/S, and the 66' Vette 427/425HP in AA/S.
And E/S thru I/S (10.00-12.49 wt/hp) for Middle Stock.
Junior Stock would start with the appropriate letter "J", for classes
12.50 wth/hp and above.
