DRC lists the entry as an 89 so I’m not sure which is true.

The 1989 would not be correct because it isn't in the guide as a 302 150 factory 200 NHRA rated. It would have to be a 1986 as Nitro Joe indicates. From the AHFS rule book "In addition, the engine family must NOT make two runs of 0.650 or quicker or any run 0.850 or quicker during the past two (2) review periods, for the review to continue."
The Sonoma divisional wasn't a mineshaft race so those two runs alone would have made the combo ineligible IF the NHRA followed their own rule book, but who knows why they do what they do.
