1st question is if the car weighs (round numbers,ok?) 2800 lbs and the eng is factored at 200

does that put it at M/S (14.0-14.49) or with driver +170 N/S( 14.5-14.99) at 2970 lbs?

2nd is if i weigh 220, can i subtract 50 lbs weight from the car making it 2750?

Figure your class FIRST by dividing the shipping wt. Then add or subtract for the min of the one up or on down class you might want to run other than the natural class. THEN finally add the 170 lbs for the driver wt. and round off the final figure. What ever you weight over the 170 can come out of the car. This is so all drivers wont have an advantage or disadvantage by being to heavy or skinny.
