It appears that you are correct in your original premise..Natural B car.
I don't have a rulebook but it was pointed out to me that replacement heads horsepower ratings don't change the original natural class, ..just the total weight carried.
I assumed it was just an omission or a typo. If you knew otherwise, you sure didn't explain very well.. but there you go.

Skelly, Gracia, and Bachelder all told me that the 10HP penalty for replacement heads does not affect the natural class.

This has happened before, to another guy who was not well versed in Stock Eliminator. The car should have been entered as a 1968. They sent the other guy home with a DQ.

One thing that does not add up, looking over the years in question, in a couple of instances, the 350HP combination has a 100# lighter shipping weight than the 375HP combination. How I don't know. A real aluminum head car (L-89 option) would actually be 60-80# lighter than any iron head combination.

Clark ran "A" if I remember right. Never AA/S that I know of. Hell he was teched in they should know what the hell there looking at. I remember my first race Wesley had fun with my car. Forget engine etc he began by pointing out all the mouldings and emblems that were wrong lol.....

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header

Ken,
Can we keep this thread about Gainesville?

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header

Brett is correct, please stay on topic. If you feel that strongly about what is wrong with a car or why a racer is here, please start your own thread.

Thank you

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header

Morning Ken and all, how's the weather this morning?
Ken, your pictures are a great way to show us all the inner and outer workings of an event and they are as good as Chris's. I hope you realize how nice it is to see everything that's going on from the lens. Keep up the great work Sir and good luck and safe racing this weekend.
Walt

They are far from ready to go from the factory. Like all cars...

They don't need any work to run 50s.

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header

Good morning all. Walt, everything you need to know about this mornings weather is in the photos. lots of moisture in the air, with plenty of fog. They pushed the start time back to 9, but that's is being optimistic at best. They are drying the track now, but its slow going.

Even with the weather being as it is, I caught race fans walking through the pits.
