Biggg,
I remember Bud having a 57 sedan delivery, the "Wagon Master", but I don't recall a 56. Ed McGlawhorn had a M/SA 56 though that I know ran at Suffolk.

Hi, I'm new to the board but have been reading this forum for a long time.
My vote for best Jr. Stocker is for a team and not an individual. I live near Lansing MI and my vote would be for the "CHEVAIRS RACING TEAM". Headed by Dick Griffin, this team had an exceptional record of Class wins at the US Nationals in 1964-1965 era.
They won Jr. Stock Elim. both years. Two members went on to win World Finals, Doug Kahl and Bill Hanes.

D.--Welcome to the forum . I raced Dick Griffin around 1973--he had an Olds wagon that he drove to the track --all the way from Lansing, MI to Suffolk , Virginia --very impressive at that time...........

WagonKiller,
I wasn't referring to you about the picture just the fact that so many people have hijacked them and put them on their own websites with no credit to the photographers. I know that once you put a picture out there it's up for grabs but at least they could give proper credit. I have close to 1000 Stock, Super Stock, Modified and Comp pictures that I would love to share but I didn?t take them and I know what would happen if I put them in a public album.
Take care,
Bob
