Keep in mind that the CRBs goal in setting weights has as its primary objective, to have the cars potential performance hit an imaginary "perfromance" target (for a specific class), and part of that calculation is the math involving the actual weight of the car, (curb), and the amount of "stuff" you can remove (stripped weight) and the amount you will likely add (race weight).

If the resulting number is close to the desired target, all is good. If that number is lighter than the desired target, no problem, adding weight is easy. If the number is higher than the desired target, there is a problem, and perhaps the car might be a better fit in a lower class.

(ITAC guys chime in here if I mis-stated the classing process)

Now, you COULD argue that the weight that they have assigned your car is unreasonable because the car can't be competitive at that weight, but you building a legal car and coming in underweight is a dream most of have!
