I agree with S.E and Bob Pagano, but I think, because of the horsepower factors they'd have, it needs to be a 7 pound, not a 7.5 class. They may end up with a 475 HP factor, which would require them to weigh 3,733, with driver, and that's a LOT of ballast, and leaves them nowhere to go (but S/S) if they pick up even more factored HP (a likelihood), down the road.

A half-pound drop, to 7 pounds would alleviate at least, a little bit of that weight problem, I think.

Just my 2-cents...
