At the 1972 NHRA Winternationals @ Pomona, California only
22 Cars entered the field of '32 Classes'.

Nearly everyone was out of California or the Northwest Division.

The 'dominant' cars were the 1972 Buick GS 455/270 HP 'Stage 1' which was re-factored to '315 HP' and classed in;
'C/SA' = {11.00 to 11.99 Wt/Hp}.

There were 'no' Stock Eliminator Championships at the 1972
* Gatornationals
* Springnationals
* Summernationals
* Grandnationals.

Because of extremely low 'Street Stock' participation.

Looks like NHRA did not have it together for the Winter Nationals. And HP came quickly thereafter.
