When asked why the car was still in the Guide, that is the reason he gave me. Which didn't make sense to me, since four door cars (at the time) were not legal for SS/GT (at the time, 1980 and newer two doors only in GT). But, I was a nineteen year old rookie and didn't want to argue or make any waves. I wouldn't be so nonchalant about it now. I would have been perfectly happy to be allowed the grade point, make one run, and get DQ'd at fuel check. It wouldn't run the Index anyways, so it wasn't like I was going to win the race. I ended up getting my entry money back, and ran the bracket race with it. But, I believe that is the answer to your question. If I am wrong, Travis or someone I'm sure can correct me/us.

Thanks Mike. I guess I have another combo to try and get added to the class guide.
