Just thinking out loud. What if the car already was carrying this much weight? I have no knowledge of this to be true, just thinking. Congrats Mike on the performance. Can you go to say maybe F, G, or H now with new adjustment? LOL

Jeff a car can be no heavier than the minimum of the next heavier class.

Old HP 140 x20 plus 170= 2970
Or
Be as heavy as 3249 and stay in U

New HP 151 x 20 plus 170 =3190
Or
Can weigh as much as 3492 and stay in U

So he could be 3249 and make a 1.40 under pass is what I was getting at.
U=20 lb
V=22 lb

Food for thought... There is no next heavier class than U for a V8.
Just sayin.

My understanding is any V8 car that is natural U can be as heavy as you want, like Mike says no heavier class for it. BTW, congrats to the Grahams on the great performance..

I thought that at first and when I looked at indexes I changed my mind and thought it was W 4 cylinder only. Please don't tell me you were really heavy I may faint. LOL

There is a rule that limits how much weight that can be added. 500 lbs that includes permanent and removable weight. So if shipping weight of car is 3000# + 500# maximum allowable weight + 170# driver = 3670# maximum weight car can be in any class. I think this is correct.
