This is too simple, it can't be good.  :-)

Why not?

This way, we'll have 8 cars that are "Best" car according to the 
formula.  Right now, we have 8 cars that are the "best" car according 
to the SEB.  I don't see that big a difference between the two.

Ok, we have to have weights.  Can we use published weights from some 
authority?  How about make classing GUIDELINES in the Rule Book but 
have scales at the major events?  It will get weird when, say adding 
AC, bumps you DOWN a class...

I like it, might want to play with the 15lbs, or maybe make it 3 
tiered, or maybe not use engine location, but the BASIC idea is very 
sound in my opinion.
