Default Race weight.

All the local track dont have a scale exsept enis and they are not open yet.

I have one of the heaves cars around Fully loaded TA. I just want an estemint on my weight. no front sway, no fome crap on the back of the carpet, Rear seats and seat belts, spair tire and jack, Air pump, front bumper suport is coming out, Passanger seat. Stock 16's at the track. How acurit out the truck stop scales. I would love to know my race weight. I was thinking about 35XX or so with me out of the car and 36XX me in it.

i couldn't give you an estimate. your guess might be close though. as for the truck scales, i'd take their measurement over a track's scale any day of the week. they are better taken care of and more times then not, updated and newer scales from the use they do get. Besides the fact that when huge trucks get weighed in, if their scale is off, when they get to a different scale later on, there are problems that can arise. good luck.

my friend has a 99 TA loaded.

Full weight it is 3600 with him, he's 150 lbs
Spare n jack - 45 lbs
Rear seat - 20 lbs
Passenger seat - 40 lbs
Sway bar - 15 lbs
Front bumper support - 20 lbs

using those conservitive numbers it puts him at about 3300 without driver.

are you sure you're at 3550 without driver? wtf?
