We have been instructed in tech to put both the minimum and maximum weight on the weight sticker that goes on the car. The maximum weight is figured by taking the minimum weight for the next heavier class and subtracting 5 pounds.

At the scales the maximum weight is enforced the same as the minimum weight…too heavy or too light is a DQ.

Travis,

So are you going to DQ someone for weighing 3 pounds under the maximum weight as it's defined in the rule book?? “All cars will be permitted to run on the class minimum weight, but may be no heavier than the minimum for the next heavier class.” If that's the rule it doesn't say anything about 5 pounds under the minimum.
