They won't have to carry 112 lbs. more because they will only be legal for AA/S and AA/SA with their new factor of 7.38. They will only have to add weight to get to the 7.50 AA/S and AA/SA factor. In A/S and A/SA their class minimum weight was 3400lbs (8 x 425); now their class minimum will be 3293lbs (7.5 x 439). As I see it, the main effect will be that they will have to run off of the much tougher 10.90 AA/S and AA/SA index instead of the 11.25 A/S or the 11.30 A/SA indexes.
