Why the 3000lb weight limit ?
Why not 3200lb?
Seems like a lighter weight scares off more cars then a heavier car spec or adding ballast, which can be a track advantage as already mentioned vs those that don't need to to.
That was the number that was mentioned most frequently. Personally, I'm with you JCC I would have liked to see an even heavier minimum weight but 3000# is at least a reasonable number. No matter what the number would be or if there would have been no minimum weight someone wouldn't like it.
Back in the day when I was building street stock short track cars it was pretty easy to get a Mopar A-Body down to 2700-2800# with driver but it was pretty much a shell of it's former self (pun intended). My last personal street stocker was a 79 Magnum and it weighed 3450# with my 250# fat ass in the seat. So it's conceivable that an early Camaro or Mustang could be a sub 3000# car without much work and still have all it's street equipment. The minimum weight was more a way to keep the class from being over run with kit cars.
