Why can stock be really stock?

Danny: My problem is that the '69 Camaro Z/28 is booked the same as the '67 & 68, they are far from the same and I have to carry the weight everytime the other cars hit the hp of the 302, which is still carrying weight from the Jr. Stock times. I've tried to keep mine as close as possible to the way I used to race it in the '70's, I still have mufflers on it so that I can drive it other then at the track. It's licenced and insured for highway use. Got a tanker truck behind it though when I do drive it.
What I don't understand, is when the people that hit your HP, don't carry the weight because they think that it can be rounded down to the lower equal number. Instead of 309 HP, they round it down to 305 HP @ Indy last year.
