How does this make sense?http://http://www.nhra.com/content/news/21014.htm Just sounds like an excuse to slow them down a little to me.

YAHTZEE!!(or, I suppose, not require anyone to cut weight elsewhere).
I doubt the intention was to slow anybody down, but rather, not "penalize" anybody for the additional weight of recent safety changes (or, I suppose, not require anyone to cut weight elsewhere).
I could be wrong - it would not be unprecedented.
