Won't hurt the Jensen Healey at all IMHO. If you're lowering curb weights then it can do down too - at 2240lbs it weighs more than a street trim JH. So, stick it down around 2000lbs and it'll be just fine. And while we're at it, fix another car I own half of that is screwed up in weight - a 260z. It does not deserve a 200lb weight penalty over the 240z when it has to wear those heinous non-power producing carbs for a measley 150ccs of displacement with lower compression.
A runs with S on the track and A has some light cars too, so I wouldn't be so concerned about the heavier and lighter cars issue.

I totally agree....this forum is for discussion and throwing ideas around...no matter how minute or drastic...so here is another 2 cents ...
I agree the 260z is too heavy...i tried it and the carbs restrict the power below the 240...weight doesnt seem to be a factor considering the new beetle weight compared to others in its class soo...
put the BMW at 3050, let it run ITS (it will STILL be competitive w/o restrictor) and start ITR (as said above...sorry not good with quotes yet) with the 300zx (heavy anyways) IS300 supra rsx and all the newer cars +200hp and the beemer at its current weight w/o restrictor. Then shift run groups accordingly...maybe ITA ITB ITC SSB SSC , ITS ITR EP and a few GT classes , SM and small bore prod classes etc...just an idea being tossed into the ring!!
