Notes: McCullough supercharger on a small block Chevy. Won Little Eliminator at the NHRA Nationals in Oklahoma City in 1958 with a final Round 13.06.; At the U.S. Nationals at Oklahoma City, he took a class win with 104.04 mph. He also took Little Eliminator honors. It was the first time NHRA had offered that category in 1958 as the gas coupes and sedans had no chance to win top eliminator against the dragsters. Thompson took B/GS and Little Top Eliminator at Santa Ana on Oct. 12 with 13.06 at 106.00 mph. On Nov. 16 at Santa Ana, Thompson dropped down to C/GS, winning the class, and in the process, setting a new strip record with 13.21 at 107.74 mph. Photo: George Klass Remembers--Gassers -- MB |

Notes: Eddie and Junior Thompson, brothers, ran a '57 Chevy engine in their Studebaker gasser. Although the class at the time was just called B/G, it was essentially B/GS. Thompson and Doug Cook were scheduled to face each other in a match race at San Fernando on Jan. 18 to determine who had the fastest B/GS car, but both cars blew their engines before the racing could begin. At the Gold Cup race at Santa Ana on Feb. 22, Eddie and Junior Thompson became the first to qualify a car for both top eliminator and little top eliminator spots. Thompson set a new time record for B/GS cars with 11.95 seconds, clocking a speed of 109.79 mph. He also turned times of 12.00, 12.10, and 12.31. They easily won Little Top Eliminator but couldn't get past Ray Rucker's B/A coupe in the top eliminator final. At the Bakersfield March Meet on Mar. 1, Thompson had to rebuild his blower and fix his engine, but everything held together for him to win the B/GS class with 112.09 mph. On Mar. 8 at Santa Ana, the Thompsons set a new top speed mark with 112.50 mph in B/GS, covering the quarter in 12.40 seconds. However, his supercharger came unglued just before the Little Eliminator final, putting him out of contention. Thompson beat Glen McCulloch in the B/GS finals at Santa Ana on Mar. 15, clocking 12.24 at 115.25 mph. On Apr. 5 at San Gabriel, the Thompson brothers won the B/GS class with 12.59 at 107.85 mph. They took the first round of Gas Eliminator against the McCulloch-Fitzgerald A Gasser, turning 12.94 at 106.25 mph. However they got eliminated in the next run by the dual Paxton supercharged A Gasser of O'Brien-Holthaus. However, in a quirk of fate, Junior Thompson was awarded the Gas Eliminator title when O'Brien declined to tear down his engine after a protest was lodged against him. Thompson took wins in B/GS on both days of the 2-day Double Eliminator Meet at Lions on May 23-24. He won on the first day with 12.30 at 114.21 mph and on the second day with 11.99 at 114.50 mph. The Thompson brothers won B/GS class at Lions on June 14 with 11.97 at 115.83 mph. At San Fernando on Aug. 11, the brothers took a B/GS win with 12.09 at 110.29 mph. At Lions on Aug. 22, the Thompsons won their class with 12.58 at 111.80 mph. They were an early entrant to go to the U.S. Nationals in Detroit, but for some reason, they didn't go. They stayed in California. On Aug. 29 at San Gabriel, they took B/GS with 12.25 at 113.78 mph. However, he froze up his blower and had to retire from competing for Little Eliminator. At Lions on Sep. 19, the brothers took a B/GS win with 12.36 at 112.35 mph. At Lions on Oct. 10, they won their class with 12.14 at 110.56 mph. While they racked up wins right and left, it wasn't because there wasn't any competition as the class included such luminaries as Doug Cook, national record-holder K. S. Pittman-Edwards, Tim Woods, and Bones Balogh. Photo: George Klass Remembers--Gassers -- MB |

Notes: In 1965, Junior made the big move into A/GS. He got a 1950 Austin Sedan body and put a Chrysler 57/58 engine in it. It ran 155 mph in 9.03 seconds. This was a revolutionary car in that it was built to the minimum allowable wheelbase of 92 inches. It was the shortest legal wheelbase, and with it, he set the NHRA and AHRA national records in A/GS. |

Notes: Thompson was at Lions on March 15 for an eight-car show. He qualified #6 with an 8.94, but an improved 8.84/158.17 in the first round, lost to Mike Mitchell's 8.65/162. Jr. Topped a four-car field of Gassers at U.S. 30 Gary, Indiana, on June 28. He beat K.S. Pittman in the first race with an 8.68/169. He beat the Stone, Woods & Cook Mustang Gasser in his second race with an 8.59/173. Thompson faced off against George Montgomery's SOHC Mustang in the final race. It was quite a race with Thompson's 8.46/181.74 (first AA/GS run over 180) to George's quicker 8.43/177. Not sure we agree with these times since they were turned at a track notorious for giving false times. | Previously listed 181 with no associated track. |

Notes: Match racer, fielded by Gasser great. Junior built the funny car after promoters stopped booking gassers around the country. Car AKA the Burgundy Bandit. Junior ran 7.52 at Tri-City. | Junior Thompson's new Satellite for '74 used a 110" Ken Cox chassis. It used a 392 Hemi with a huge 3/4 Moldex stroker crank and a .030 overbore to displace 474 cubic inches. The motor used Howards rods with Jahns pistons and an Isky cam. The '55 cylinder heads were worked over by Fudge. On top of the engine sat a Don Hampton-prepared GMC 6/71 that used a Cragar blower drive. Hilborn injection fed the alcohol. The transmission was a three-speed Lenco that transferred the power back to a Halibrand quick-change rear end with 4.30 gears. The car only weighed 1,700 Lbs. The engine put out about 1,200 hp. |

Notes: Junior Thompson was at Beech Bend for its Fourth of July Alcohol Funny Car race. It was an eight-car show, and his first-round 7.26 beat Denny Fedele's 7.56, but in the semifinals, he faced Ken Veney's Vega, which was pretty much unstoppable at this time. Sure enough, Veney ran his slowest pass (!), a 6.93/210, to win over Thompson's 7.29/187.11. Photo from Shelby Dragway 1975. |

Notes: Thompson qualified #8 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals with a 6.81/200.44. Junior was at Beech Bend on August 2 for an eight-car show. His 6.94 defeated Bud Williams in the opening round, but a 7.01/200.44 fell to Cliff Sewell's 6.77/206 in the semifinal. Steve McCracken-bodied Corvette that match raced from coast to coast with a lot of success. 1981 UDRA champion. |

Notes: Crashed in a near-fatal accident at Norwalk, Ohio, in May 1982. Someone had forgotten to remove three cinder blocks left in front of the timing lights in the center of the strip near the end. Junior hit them with his rear slick, going over 200 mph. The car flipped end over end at least ten times, completely destroying the fiberglass body. Thanks to the well-built chassis, Junior miraculously sustained no broken bones. Although his helmet roll cage saved his life, the crash caused his head to be severely beaten against it, causing a severe concussion and brain contusion. It took Junior five years to recover and ended his driving career. Junior returned to the nostalgia gasser wars in 1987 with son Tommy at the wheel. |
