Overweight Stockers

the reason I was told for your car having to fit the class you are in, is say there are 7 c/sa, 5 b/sa and o a/sa and the slowest of the c/sa cars now enters a/sa to avoid a heads up race that might happen in elims. without changing anything but the letter on the window. People that work on there cars and are fast should understand that this is the only way class racing should be if we dont start some where it will only be a matter of time before there is no heads up or quaifing and it will be just an all run bracket race

I agree as to the way the rule book reads. ie: between 8.00 - 8.500 as an example. However, that is not the way it has worked for years in S/SS. Last year I made a qualifying run behind the eventual #1 qualifier and heard the scale tech tell him he was 900lbs. heavy. At the end of qualifying he was 1.37 under. National tech and div. tech told me that was perfectly legal. Illegal would be below the minimum weigh on his sticker. I brought up what some are talking about the weight breaks in the rule book (which I agree with) and they laughed in my face. No grey areas..................you guys are right. The only thing black and white is the paper and the print.
