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.
