Default Finally found out what my cam only racweight was

well i went and scaled in here in atlanta before i added ballast so i knew what i needed, i had added few gallons of fuel and my passenger kirkey seat already but the scales were jumpin around 3050 or so. so i figure maby 3030, my seat is like maby 8lbs and i added 2 gallons of fuel or so at 7lbs a gallon. so im pleased to see that i have a good 150lbs on the other camonly guys. but i think i found where to take it out at when i get home, hehe. im fixin to have some fun now.

I'll be there when I get my Sunoco hood next week. Should put me at 3050 when all done. I still need to do lightweight brakes and convert over to manual brakes. Still have door panels and carpet in. There's a few misc. things I could take out.
