I don't think it's stupid at all. It's all about how you and your car can do against other cars of the same class.... i.e., power-to-weight ratio. Who cares if a PT Cruiser can't beat a Corvette in a drag race?
Back in the day I was more involved with competitive drag racing, this is what the classes were all about, the level of modification (or none) dictated the category: Stock, Modified Production, Gas, Altered, Dragster etc. and the subdivisions of each category (A, B, C...) were divided by power-to-weight ratio.
