"E" indicates the specific class within Super Stock.

Here are the specifics of the Super Stock class for the 1969 AHRA season. This is from the 1969 AHRA Rule Book. The final wording after 2 pages of instruction state "Super Stock will be designated as S/SE".

A further explanation earlier is "All races will be run on a heads up basis, the cars will be handicapped by weight."

There were no classes within Super Stock for AHRA. That was reserved for the 5 Formula Stock classes, under special Formula categories.

I reviewed this with a former Super Stock and Pro Stock AHRA driver, who indicated he believed the "E" stood for eliminator. The class was known as Super Stock Eliminator.
