Drooze, using this example, if you and I both have an '09 Drag Pack Challenger. Miniumum weight for A/SA is 3,290, with driver (8 x 390 + 170). I weight approximately 260. So, my car, without me, would weigh 3,030. Lets say you weigh 160. Your car, without driver, can weigh 3,130. We still both meet the minumum A/SA weight for a DP of 3,290 pounds. Your car, by itself, would be lighter than mine, by itself, by a hundred pounds.

That's why George Bryce and Angelle whatever-her-last-name-was-at-the-time were so successful in Pro Stock Bike. Minimum weight, with rider, was 600 pounds. Since she was so light, they had to add ballast to meet the 600, and could add the ballast where and how they wanted, to make the bike work the best.
