Real close racing is all about parity just like any sport. Sugar Ray never called Ali out, little league teams don't play MLB teams. Thats why there are different classes in NHRA, yes your car is faster than mine by more than a little bit. But John Force could probably beat you shutting off after 60'.

Don't get me wrong I think your car is one of the coolest out there, I am very impressed especially because its a Pontiac with aluminum copies of factory heads.

In boxing the common practice is to cut weight to the max allowed for the class under your "walking weight", that way you may add the water weight back over 24 hrs and possibly fight a smaller opponent. If a fighter has a bad "cut" and looses too much water weight he runs out of energy and gets beat in later rounds.

When you get up to the big boys the weight classes encompass a larger allowable weight.

for example
n Olympic-style amateur boxing the weight divisions for men are:

light flyweight, not more than 108 pounds (49 kg)
flyweight, 115 pounds (52 kg)
bantamweight, 123 pounds (56 kg)
lightweight, 132 pounds (60 kg)
light welterweight, 141 pounds (64 kg)
welterweight, 152 pounds (69 kg)
middleweight, 165 pounds (75 kg)
light heavyweight, 178 pounds (81 kg)
heavyweight, 201 pounds (91 kg)
super heavyweight, any weight over 201 pounds (91 kg)


Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier
The Greatest Smokin' Joe
Tale of the tape
Louisville, Kentucky From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
48–2 (35 KO) Pre-fight record 32–2 (27 KO)
6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) Height 5 ft 11.5 in (1.82 m)
224 lb (102 kg) Weight 215 lb (98 kg)[1]

joe was lighter and shorter but if he wanted the belt....well tuff chit he had to fight anyway

SEEMS I HAVE THE BELT> and you want it so man up or quit crying.

And for the record the only ones that are all about fair are women and democrats!
