Maybe it's the wrong vehicle for the class?

A Stocker running -.50 under the Super Stock index is an AVERAGE Stocker?

Didn't say average. If they dropped the indexes 1/2 second, and a stocker was fast enough to still run under, good for them. Probably would need a "gift", however.

Here's a simple idea that would help out the AHFS a little bit. Why not denote both a minimum AND a maximum on the weight sticker? In my opinion, if a car weighs enough to run the next lower class, is should have to run that class. People could still run heavy, just not ridiculously heavy.

$.02,

I fully agree with that. Seems like a silly way to slow one down anyway. Added weight is just harder on the drivetrain. Taking out ten or fifteen degrees of spark does wonders for slowing one down. They could keep track of everybody's actual weight. Chuck and Wesley need something else to do anyway.
