Mark,
I agree with you on ?Lil? George Cureton but I would also have to include the Southern Gentleman, Bobby Warren. Also, there is a very good article on the who?s who of Junior Stock in the August 69 issue of Car Craft.

Anyone ever hear of Ronnie Broadhead,1960 Pontiac?

bowtie I agree 100% with getting the young farts together.... my faimly started a book on my dad's caree. I went to the old time drag racer's reuion for two years and to be able to sit in the bar and listen to people like Jimmy waibel,Randy Payne, joe tuton, Phill bonner, hubert platt was great to hear the old war stories. and if we as a young generation dont work together these stories will be gone for ever.
Lets get ESPN to do a sit down round table with some of the old greats
Like Bobby dennis, woodry josey,bobby warren,al provost,jimmy waibel,sammy pizzalatie,joe tuton,randy payne,and many more. as racer's today we take for granted that what we have is great what about the stories I have heard of eliminations going into the night and everyone took their tow trucks and turned on the head lights so the could have lights. We have already lost alot of the greats so lets figure this out and make it happen me and my wife would be more than happy to be involved to do this.. my email is Waibelcompetition@yahoo.com

It won't sell on ESPN - and it will take a wealthy lover of the sport to make a good film. It would also take a fair amount of money to get someplace where a few of the guys could get together and yak. The most inexpensive way is to do something online. I still think a dedicated site would be a good idea.

I remember Ronnie Broadhead. I think he drove a 60 Pontiac 2-dr. Hard Top. Wasnt he used in a Casler Tire advertisement?

Bowtie,
Jim Amos, http://www.beeonvideo.homestead.com/, has some neat footage of Junior Stockers taken by George Cureton.

Marv Ripes , and what about Val Hedworth. He was pretty dominant west.. Jere Stahl, Jay Hamilton out west with Pontiac. Rowe. Lambeck and Leal both had Jr. Stock type I believe. So many good racers it was hard for anyone to dominate. Winning was #1 and a lot of hard work done. Who drove Buck Shot? Larry?
When Old stockers were ruled against many didnt bother to change to SS and most were parked.. Panel trucks especially.

Larry Lombardo drove the Corvette "Buckshot" and won at Indy with it as a teenager around '68. He built an H/S Chevy II that he called "Buckshot II" that was just like what I had and won with that as well. He won 2 points races in 1970 here in Div.1 , I think...... Jenkins must have been impressed with his ability to drive a stickshift. He was good........I watched him in the Chevy II win the Maple Grove points race and he turned some great times.....
