Probably because he ran a Pro Stock for Summit, or grade points from Sweden.

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
Well, Mr Fred,
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.

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.

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 |
