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.
