How about lowering the weight limit for S/ST down to 2500 or 2400? As it was explained to me at the time by an NHRA official, the increase from 2500 to 2800 was to minimize the RT advantage of tube chassis cars back when they were on a 0.400 pro tree. Now that the tree is 0.500 it would probably be in everyone's best interest to not have 300 or 400 lbs of ballast on these 150+ mph S/ST cars...
