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!

Maybe NHRA should up the weight for the driver,but how high do you go?200/225/250/300/400.I'm
serious,where do you adjust it to?I'm of the opinion that enough adjustment(removing odds and ends from the car) can accomodate most drivers.
There is no way to remove more weight from your 442?Spare tire,weight box etc?
