I will use my car ,for example,since I know it best.My factored horsepower is 360.To run D/SA,the weight break is 9.5-9.99.My CAR needs to weigh between 3,420 pounds and 3,596 pounds.My CAR does weigh between this range.However,when I get in it,it does not meet the "MAX WEIGHT"
Now what if the car weighed 3340 pounds?
The car would be right on the minimum weight for D/SA with a 250 pound driver.However,the car would technically be "too light" for the class according to some of the logic in this thread.Maybe they need to start weighing the car/driver separate? LOL!

I'm confused. You do know weight calculations do include 170#'s for the driver, right? 360HP x 9.5 + 170 = 3590 minimum race weight or 360HP x 9.99 + 170 = 3766 (maximum may or may not be enforced; subject of discussion). What the driver weighs is of little relevance.
