Finally weighed the car
Went to a digital scale this week. Weighed 3440 with me in (with some stuff in the car), after this years weight loss. Then made DETAILED calculations, by weighing the parts that differed this year from last. Result was 3547 lbs. Within 3 lbs of my estimate that was challenged so many times by a few guys. I'm happy that my info was accurate (thanks to Nineball for a good starting point). But a little dissapointed that I didn't come in lighter this year.
Either way, my raceweight this year should be right at 3400 lbs once I put the panels and carpet (lightweight, not stock) back in that are out right now for cage install.

Wow Dave pretty close to your 3550 guess.

Re: Finally weighed the car
Damn I'm good! I'm usually pretty good a guessing raceweights, the ONLY car I haven't figured out is ProStockJohn's slightly gutted hardtop Formula weighing in at 3700 lbs vs my fully-loaded Formula with no weight removed weighing in at 3550 lbs.

STOCK it was 3410 with stock everything at Byron Dragway a few years ago.
Between ditching the complete AC, Prostars front/back, !front swaybar, !air pump, !egr, !backseat and belts, !floormats, !jack and spare, I figured I have removed 100 lbs.
AC 40
swaybar 10
back seat belts 25
floormats 4
jack/spare 35

Dave, thanks for weighing your car and posting the results. The fast folks always get questioned.
