This should be a fun class where if by some reason a particular combo shows an advantage a weight well be assessed after a win (by majority rule) to keep parity and close and entertaining racing. All racers must agree to these terms by hand shake. (Kinda a honor among thieves vibe) This class will bring out some of the "old school" hitters off the sideline
