I ran one race in A/FS last year at 20lbs under max with -no ballast-. What happens if the scales are off a bit and I roll across at 5lbs over? Do I get tossed?

That's where common sense comes in.There are some cars that have a minimum wt. problem.Seems the manufactures got the #s wrong.An issue like that can be resolved to allow the car to be factored correctly,just takes common sense on NHRAs part.
Bob Shaws car would need to be considered a special case due to the fact it can't run as a V car.
In a way I dont envy NHRA tech,reading all the agendas coming out in all these discussions.It's
a matter of the "What's best for ME" and screw everybody else that appears.
