Oldtimers: Do you rember when the classification guide meant something? If your car showed in guide that it broke 14.23 in a 14-14,99 class that is what you had to weigh...no additional weigh for driver no adjusting up or down a class.. Why do you think so many people drove 4 doors or wagons or biscaynes or impalas because they were better class break cars. They should let the classification guide be the guide...If a V8 car breaks 22, lbs let it run V if it is akiller combo ahfs will catch it eventually. I rember selling a perfect 68 camaro convertible for a 70 camaro coupe because it made class better by 100 lbs.Back then there was a commitement to a combo..Not well if this doesn't go fast enough i will just add the weight and drop a class.I trully believe that people like Bob Shaw and Billy and Neil Smedley that came through that era have mastered the research needed to develop competative combo's. Just think how easy it would be at the scales no longer searching for loose ballast...worrying if you are overweight..Racers would have to back to vehicle prep...Who really says a real racer weighs 170 lbs. anyway. So as I started saying 14.23 times 250 hp means car and driver 3557minumum maximum doesn't matter cause the car can only make the 14 lb class. How many have I confused here is quite simple isn't it.
