OK...be nice Pat!!!! What constitutes a Junior Stock?????
Thank you Dick!!! They are really great photos. What a great era that must have been. The 348-409 cars are great to see for sure, but It really doesn't matter, small or big block, even other makes, any photos from that time 64-71 are way cool As time went on the amount of different combo's that people came up with to be competitive in a certain class is just awesome.
SOMEONE SLOWER THAN ME!
LOL LOL LOL
Lots of them!!
I'll never forget the look on the starting line guys face the first time that I had my d/mp Dart at his track! I had one of those early rev limiters [they were rough as heck] and I'd leave against it ,8500 at time,and he looked like he was afraid that a rod was going to shake his hand on it's way past him.I'd burn out,pull to the line and stage.When the first light came on,[we had 5 lights back then] I'd mat it up against the limiter,and that little 340 would sound like a chain saw at full rip.
So.....is this right???? I'm seeing pictures here of 62 409 cars and would not consider them Jr. stockers.Pat that probably was everyone? Seriously I always placed junior stockers in the larger cars at D and lower!

I like it Don. Yes I remember those first limiters. I'll bet Pat never used one on his 301 builds and I am certain the Shellcross Brothers, up by McKenzie, never used one on their 301as it always sounded like from in the pits they were shifting at 10,000 on their runs!

I need to dig up more of my old NHRA rule books but the back page of the 1966 NHRA Rule Book is a section titled "NHRA Eliminator Procedure" lists "JR. STOCK Eliminator will consist of all class winners from B/S through O/S and B/SA through J/SA." (That's all the classes.) Stock classes were determined by "advertised" horse power to listed curb weight. As listed in the NADA books!So.....is this right????

Never have forgiven NHRA for doing away with the 5 yellows. Hey Don, I also ran D/ MP with a 67 Camaro, 310 c.i. 4 spd, 6.17 geared Dana 60 rear. My old logs show about 4 out of 5 events I come back home with something broken. Still have some of those broken parts on a shelf. Conversation pieces.I'll never forget the look on the starting line guys face the first time that I had my d/mp Dart at his track!
