Re: weight question
 

I've been racing a Duster for years, and I can't see how you could get one with a 318 in it under 3000 lbs. with driver in legal stocker trim. Duster 318 I would shoot for O, but if you don't remove everything possible and put light weight brakes etc, you'll be closer to P weight.
If the car has frame connectors,a roll bar and 8 3/4 rear it will most likely be between 3000- 3100 lbs without the driver.
Good luck,
George

Re: weight question
 

thank you for all the help you have all been very helpful

Re: weight question
 

since the minimum weight for n/sa is 2850 and say the car weighs 3100? can i still run N or do i have to go up to O or P?

Re: weight question
 

Driver weight of 170lbs is automatically added to factor weight so even if you weigh 120, you'll have to put 50 more pounds of ballast in car the make up the difference.

On your weight/class question, you cannot exceed max weight that would put you into next class up so your answer is yes, you have to go up to O or P.
