From what I read, class is determined without driver and then 170 is added for total weight. Total weight, I think, is what you have to be at on the race scales.

The weight you must be equal to or greater than , when you go across the scales is called the "minimum weight" . It is usually equal the min Class weight break times your factored horsepower , plus 170 . The exception to this is then you try to change classes up or down , you can only adjust the weight by 250 lbs. from your natural weight break , which is found in the NHRA Classification Guide .

That's with the driver. 325hp x 9.5 + 170lbs = 3255lbs.

A local racer has also told me class is with racer weight, but the book says no. Who is right?

Example, a G/SA that pencils out to 2,970 must be 3,140 across the scales with driver.
